Credit: Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DRSamsung is reviving its two-chip strategy, with some Galaxy S26 phones featuring an Exynos chip.This year, the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Plus are reported to arrive with Exynos 2600, while the Edge and Ultra will have Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.Despite this, phones in the US and in China will continue to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 across all models.If there’s something Samsung should be praised for, it is its grit and relentlessness. The company has experienced various setbacks but has recovered from them just as quickly. And it may now be working to remove another thorn by addressing longstanding issues with its Exynos lineup. The rumored Exynos 2600 is expected to be Samsung’s first chipset based on a 2nm process, and the company has already begun mass-producing it. While earlier reports speculated on the possibility of the chipset being used for one of the Galaxy S26 phones in certain regions, a recent report claims the strategy may already have been finalized.Following last month’s news establishing the likelihood of Samsung’s Exynos 2600 to be used inside the Galaxy S26 Pro — the smallest and most affordable of the lot, SamMobile now emphasizes that the change is confirmed. The outlet claims to have seen credible evidence that solidifies this change.
