Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may not get a Snapdragon chip — here's what we know

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs S25 Plus vs S25.

We know that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is coming, but the rumors we've been hearing this year have been all over the place. The latest batch throws another wrench into the works, potentially changing what we know about the upcoming phones' chipsets. In fact, this could see the Ultra model get a Samsung-made Exynos chip for the first time since the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

According to a report from Korean site Yonhap News, Samsung is set to begin mass production of the Exynos 2600 chipset in November. This is not exactly news, since we've heard rumors about the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus coming with this specific Exynos chip outside the U.S. But the key thing here is that the site claims the 2600 will also be used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
