Samsung could be manufacturing its own chips for the Galaxy S26 series, and we’re not talking about the Exynos 2600.
A prominent leaker has claimed that the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 is still in the works.
This chip is said to be cheaper than the TSMC-made version, which could be good news for Galaxy S26 pricing.
However, Samsung-made chips have historically lagged behind TSMC-manufactured variants.
We’ve heard conflicting rumors that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor, expected to be used in the Galaxy S26 series, could be manufactured by both TSMC and Samsung. Now, a reliable leaker has reiterated this claim.
Digital Chat Station on Weibo has claimed that the so-called SM8850s chipset hasn’t been canceled yet due to its cheaper price.
