Overview

• Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 in July 2025, introducing a dual-chip strategy for the Flip7 with the Exynos2500 in Korean units and Snapdragon8 Elite elsewhere
• The Exynos2500 is built on Samsung’s 3nm process with a 10-core CPU configuration and AMD RDNA-based GPU, offering enhanced AI efficiency and graphics performance
• Production constraints have kept Exynos2500 yield rates below 50%, leading Samsung to confine its initial use to the domestic market
• All global Galaxy Z Flip7 units and every Z Fold7 model will rely on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon8 Elite chipset for consistent high-end performance
• Insights from the Korean trial of Exynos2500 will guide Samsung’s decision on expanding the chip to its wider Galaxy flagship lineup
