Following a hefty leak campaign, Samsung finally confirmed the Exynos 2600’s existence and imminent launch. The flagship chipset is set to launch ahead of the Galaxy S26 series, and we have our first look thanks to a short video teaser.
Samsung seems to acknowledge the underwhelming performance of its previous generation Exynos chips as the video starts off with a “in silence, we listened” opening statement. It then transitions to highlight some aspects of the upcoming chip, like “refined at the core” and “optimized at every level”.
Exynos 2600 is expected to be the first 2nm smartphone chipset on the market when it launches, and early benchmarks show it can go head to head with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Samsung’s upcoming top-tier chip is rumored to make its debut on the Galaxy S26 series, though not in all regions.
