Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus are reportedly set to use both the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Exynos 2600 chips, depending on the region. The outlet reports that North America will receive the Snapdragon variants, while Korea and Europe will receive the Exynos models.
“There were many concerns because the Exynos 2600 was the first 2-nanometer AP [application processor – ed] to be attempted, but it delivered satisfactory performance thanks to factors such as the application of the Heat Pass Block. However, I understand that supply was limited due to yield issues,” a source told ET News. It’s believed that Snapdragon variants will account for 70% of total S26 series shipments.
