Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Could Feature Exynos SoCs as Foundry Reports Over 30% Yield Improvement

The production scale-up at Samsung Electronics requires reaching 60% yield levels. The Snapdragon 8 Elite SOC powers Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series. Identical accusations about the Exynos 2500 SoC emerged the previous year. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series will enter the market during the early stages of the next year. The whole lineup of Samsung Galaxy S25 series smartphones has become available for purchase throughout India.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite processors from Qualcomm can be found in every market and the smartphones are introduced at Rs. 80,999. A notable shift took place since the Galaxy S24 series had Exynos 2400 SoC except for the flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra despite using Samsung’s exclusive processors throughout all versions in 2023. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 product line might have the same Exynos processors.

Success of Samsung Galaxy S26 Series

Research published by The Bell demonstrates that Samsung Electronics attains high levels of success with the Exynos 2600 SoC production. The Exynos 2600 SoC maintains its present market success because it achieved a 30 percent yield outcome surpassing Exynos 2500 SoC that was never launched.

The Exynos 2600 SoC achieved a 30 percent success rate but previous unreliable information about the Exynos 2500 SoC also reached similar figures from the previous year. With Samsung not including Qualcomm’s processor in the Galaxy S25 series this year they failed to put their plans into effect despite the encouraged 30 percent yield for the Exynos 2600 SoC.

Chipset used in Samsung Galaxy S26 Series

The chip division has scheduled mass production for the fourth quarter of this year based on the source information. Mass production of the 2nm chipset requires Samsung to reach a 60 percent yield rate. Mass production of a chipset comes only when production yields reach 60%.

The ongoing narrative reveals how Qualcomm provided its chipset to Samsung for its latest Galaxy S25 series because Samsung Electronics failed to produce enough production quality. During the previous year Samsung installed its Exynos 2400 SoC into its Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus smartphone models.

Multiple sources indicate that Samsung intends to launch the Galaxy S26 series during the same time

frame as its yearly Galaxy S25 series release date. Several reports indicate Samsung aims to include better cameras and newer silicon carbon batteries and under-display cameras in its Galaxy S26 Ultra model.
