Samsung announces imminent launch of Exynos 2600 for its next-gen premium phones
The Exynos 2600 has surfaced in several benchmark listings over the past few months, with reports indicating the chipset could underpin at least one of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 phones. Those reports have substance to them, too, it seems.
Taking to its official YouTube channel hours ago, Samsung has now confirmed the planned release of its next-gen flagship chipset, the Exynos 2600:
"In silence, we listened. Refined at the core, optimized at every level. To express the exceptional. Exynos 2600."
The video caption confirms that the Exynos 2600 is "coming soon" as well. No surprise, seeing as the Galaxy S26 series is expected to debut globally at Unpacked sometime in February. It's still unclear which models in the lineup will feature the Exynos 2600, but it's likely the base Galaxy S26 comes equipped with the chipset in several markets.
That may have been seen as a negative in the past with performance discrepancies between Exynos and Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoCs but the Exynos 2600 may represent a step away from that. The Exynos 2500's successor is expected to debut as the first 2 nm SoC, and its benchmark appearances so far have shown performance on par with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
