Overview
- Samsung published a short video revealing the Exynos 2600 name and opening with “In silence, we listened,” promising a chip “refined at the core” and “optimized at every level.”
- Coverage links the processor to Samsung Foundry’s 2nm GAA node, though the company has not released specifications or performance details.
- Reports expect the chip to debut with the Galaxy S26 series in early 2026 as part of a dual‑chip strategy, with Exynos units likely for Europe and Korea and Snapdragon for the U.S., and the Ultra model reportedly using Snapdragon globally.
- Leaked Geekbench listings showing high scores for Exynos 2600 have circulated but no longer appear on the site, so performance claims remain unverified.
- Media accounts cite thermal fixes such as a ‘Heat Pass Block’ and a Samsung executive’s claim of roughly 30% lower temperatures versus prior releases, pending independent testing.
