Reports Point to Korea-Only Rollout for Samsung’s Exynos 2600 as 2nm Yields Lag

Industry reports say low 2nm yields are steering Samsung toward a Korea-only debut.

Overview

  • Android Headlines reports mass production of the Exynos 2600 has not begun as Samsung works to raise 2nm GAA yields from roughly 50% toward about 70%.
  • Phandroid cites new reports that the chip would appear only in Galaxy S26 and S26+ units sold in South Korea, with Snapdragon variants elsewhere.
  • Phandroid also reports that Galaxy S26 Ultra models would use Snapdragon globally and mentions an unconfirmed claim of Qualcomm supply commitments limiting Exynos share.
  • Samsung has officially teased the Exynos 2600 as its first 2nm GAA mobile SoC, while leaked CPU configurations and Geekbench scores remain unverified.
  • Wccftech relays a Weibo tipster’s claim that an official Exynos 2600 reveal could arrive by late January, a timeline that has not been confirmed by Samsung.
