- The Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be equipped with the Exynos 2500 in all regions, including the US, instead of Snapdragon.
- This would be the first time that Samsung’s flagship clamshell phone may have Exynos.
- The decision is likely due to difficulties with Snapdragon 8 Elite’s thermal performance.
When it comes to folding phones, Samsung has been in the market for some time, so it definitely knows a thing or two about both foldables and clamshells. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be revealed during Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event taking place in the first week of July, which is just around the corner. And it may be a big milestone for Samsung’s flagships moving forward.
Usually, Samsung uses Snapdragon chips in the US, while South Korea and other markets get Exynos, at least for regular phones. But the brand’s foldables have been an odd exception to this rule, typically going with Snapdragon in all regions. It was previously reported that the Z Flip 7 could have an Exynos variant as well as a Snapdragon version, with the former being the debut of the Exynos 2500. However, according to a new report from SamMobile, it appears that firmware files for the Z Flip 7 revealed that the Exynos 2500 will be used in all locales, including the US.
