According to a leak from a prominent leakster, the Galaxy S26 series is “definitely” set to reintroduce the Exynos processor. This move may signal Samsung’s commitment to enhancing its chip development and performance capabilities for future flagship models. Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about the specifications and features of the upcoming series.

SF2 utilizes third-generation GAA technology, boasting a 12% increase in performance, a 25% improvement in power efficiency, and a 5% reduction in chip area compared to SF3, which is the 3nm node expected to be employed for the Exynos 2500.

The reference to the “Exynos 990 situation” made by @Jukanlosreve remains unclear. The Exynos 990 was utilized in the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series available in most regions, excluding the US, Canada, and China. This situation was more about Qualcomm’s legal advantages and patent holdings than limited availability. Furthermore, the yield from the SF2 node appears to be quite healthy, with TrendForce reporting an initial yield exceeding 30%.

In any case, the Exynos 2600 is anticipated to enter mass production in the last quarter of this year to fulfill the requirements for the Galaxy S26 series. The new flagship models are expected to make their debut in late January or early February.
