Samsung unveils what could be the Galaxy S26's chip — and it’s quite impressive

There have been a lot of rumors around the Galaxy S26 series' performance, specifically about if it will continue to use chipsets from Qualcomm across all markets. However, Samsung unveiled its in-house Exynos 2600 chip in a new video and now, I’m not sure it needs Qualcomm anymore.

First and foremost, the Exynos 2600 is stated to be the world's first smartphone SoC built on a 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) manufacturing process. According to Samsung, this new design will massively improve performance, efficiency and thermal behavior due to how the GAA process works.
