Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 tipped to 'fully adopt' Exynos chip — and that could have a huge impact on Galaxy S26
Every major Samsung phone launch seems to be preceded by the same debate — Snapdragon or Exynos? — as rumors circulate about which chipset the phone maker plans to use in its latest device. Inevitably, Qualcomm's Snapdragon silicon tends to get the call, but that might be changing with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which we're expecting to launch next month. A new report from Korean publication, DealSite (translated by leaker Jukanlosreve) claims that Samsung will "fully equip" the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with a "proprietary mobile application processor (AP), Exynos 2500." This means that every Flip 7 across the world could potentially feature an Exynos system-on-chip. If true, the report would contradict a previous claim that Samsung had decided to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy Z Flip 7 models released in the U.S. while other models would feature the Exynos silicon. Outside of Asia, most Samsung phones are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Countries like India and Korea often get mixed devices with some higher-end phones feature Qualcomm while slightly weaker ones have an Exynos chip. However, for years it's been rumored that Samsung wants to power global models with its own chip. Allegedly, the yield rate for the 2500 processor is at 30%, half of what it usually needs for mass production. The chip is based on a 3nm process, similar to what you would expect form Qualcomm or TSMC's current production of Apple chips. "I understand that there are plans to adopt Exynos as the AP for the entire Flip7 series. Although there was internal debate due to the low yield, the direction is ultimately leaning towards full adoption despite the low yield," an industry insider reportedly told DealSite.

According to the report, Samsung will release the book-style foldable Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a "mix of Exynos and Snapdragon." Qualcomm's chips have gotten more expensive, which may partially explain price increases for Samsung's recent phones. The Galaxy Z Flip 6, powered by a then-top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, saw a $100 price hike over its predecessor, bringing the starting price of Samsung's foldable flip phone to $1,099. It's unclear if turning to an Exynos chip would help Samsung lower the price of its new foldable — or simply maintain the existing $1,099 price tag amid rising costs for other components. It appears, the Flip 7 could be an experiment for Samsung. If it's successful, despite the current low yield, it could help Samsung negotiate with Qualcomm and find new customers looking for potentially cheaper chips. The report claims that Samsung's foundries are also working on an Exynos 2600 SoC based on a 2nm process that could potentially slot into the Galaxy S26 flagship next year. Though allegedly, the yield rate for that chip is even less than the 2500. This does align with previous rumors claiming that the Galaxy S26 could get an Exynos chip. Still, as mentioned at the top, these rumors continually crop up and keep not being true. It's clear Samsung wants to put its own chip in its phones in a bigger fashion, but the company has also failed to do so. We'll know for sure if the Z Flip 7 features an Exynos or Qualcomm chip in July when Samsung is expected to debut its next round of foldable phones.

Nvidia RTX PRO 6000D (B40) Blackwell GPUs reportedly set to supersede banned H20 accelerators in China
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Following the ban of its Hopper H20 accelerations in China, Nvidia is reportedly planning on launching new Blackwell-based solutions at a lower price this year, per Reuters. With mass production anticipated by June, we can expect these solutions to be widely available in the Chinese market by Q3 or Q4. While technical details are still emerging, we can already discern some important details and specifications. Due to stringent U.S. export policies targeting China, the Hopper family has largely been a cat-and-mouse chase between U.S. regulators and Nvidia. Even before their official debut, the flagship H100 and H200 accelerators were already subject to export bans. Nvidia introduced the H800 to circumvent these regulations, which eventually faced a similar fate in October 2023. The cut-down H20 served as Nvidia's primary AI solution for the Chinese market in the interim until its recent ban under the current administration last month, which forced Nvidia to write off $5.5 billion in GPU supply. Reuters reports that Nvidia's follow-up to the H20 will be based on the Blackwell architecture, more specifically, the RTX Pro 6000D. Further clarification by tipster Jukanlosreve at X, citing a report from China's GF Securities, suggests the RTX Pro 6000D will be dubbed B40 (likely a successor to the Ada Lovelace L40). Reuters classifies this as a server-class GPU which uses traditional GDDR7 memory instead of HBM, and notably avoids the use of TSMC's CoWoS packaging technology, likely signaling at its monolithic nature. There are two possibilities based on the available data. This GPU can either be based on datacenter grade GB1XX Blackwell or consumer-grade GB2XX Blackwell silicon. The former is unlikely, as it only features HBM controllers at the silicon level. If the B40 utilizes GB2XX dies, it would be a derivative of the GB202 chip (found in the RTX 5090 and RTX Pro Blackwell 6000) and would lack NVLink support. The report estimates the price of the B40 between $6,500 and $8,000, which is less than the H20 and comparable to Nvidia's global RTX Pro 6000 workstation models. The HGX H20 could be configured in an 8-GPU configuration, but without NVLink, the B40 would likely face challenges in multi-GPU setups. Nvidia's latest RTX Pro Blackwell servers employ up to eight RTX Pro 6000 GPUs, connected via ConnectX-8 SuperNICs with integrated PCIe 6.0 switches, for GPU-to-GPU communication. This setup is likely what we'll see for the B40, with scaling beyond eight GPUs expected to be handled by Nvidia's Spectrum-X networking platform. Since details are scarce, this is just speculation on our part, so please don't read it as gospel.

Galaxy S26 might be a worse phone in Europe—here's why
Samsung may be pausing its all-Snapdragon strategy. After using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 across the entire Galaxy S25 lineup, a new round of leaks suggests the upcoming Galaxy S26 may reintroduce Samsung's in-house Exynos chips—though only in certain markets. According to multiple sources in the leaker community on X (formerly Twitter), the Galaxy S26 will feature the Exynos 2600 in Europe, while other markets such as North America and Asia will get Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 instead. The reported reason for this split is low initial production yields of Samsung's 2nm process, which is being used to manufacture the Exynos 2600. Latest industry note related to Samsung:Exynos 2600 is indeed planned to be used in the due to reportedly low yield, it is likely to be equipped mainly in European models. An industry source emphasized that even in the AP for the S26, Qualcomm's Snapdragon… — Jukanlosreve (@Jukanlosreve) May 3, 2025 If the leaks are accurate, the situation will be the same as with the Galaxy S22 series, which was also split the same way across the different markets. The users in Europe got the Exynos 2200 then, while the rest of the world got the arguably better Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The thing is that it has never been fair when Samsung does this. Most of the time, the Exynos chipsets did not match those from Qualcomm in performance and power efficiency, which lead to a lot of criticism in 2022. Samsung then released the S23 series with a Snapdragon chip across all regions, followed with another split for the S24 series, and then again going back to the unified Snapdragon strategy with the S25 this year. The reports still don't say whether thi chip split will apply across the entire Galaxy S26 lineup, though. Earlier rumors suggested that only the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus would get the Exynos 2600 in Europe, while the flagship S26 Ultra would have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 no matter the region. It's hard to tell for sure, but there are two potential reasons. It is still unclear why Samsung chooses to distribute the Exynos Galaxy S phones in Europe when it goes for the chip split strategy. It could be tied to supply constraints or internal cost structures. Of course, Samsung hasn't confirmed any of these rumors regarding the Exynos 2600 or its strategy for 2026, so take this information with a grain of salt. However, if history is any indication, it seems like a likely scenario for the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 could sport Exynos chips after all — here's what we know
Performance on Samsung flagships has been pretty incredible the last few years, especially since it started using custom Qualcomm chips. But that doesn't mean Exynos chips have gone for good, and the latest rumor claims they may make a comeback on the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Despite rumors that the phone would come with the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a new source claims that the Z Flip 7 will instead feature an Exynos 2500. This comes from leaker Jukanlosreve, who also claims that the Galaxy Z Flip FE will still come with a Qualcomm chip. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Why would the cheaper flip phone have a better chipset? Flip 7 will be powered by Exynos 2500, while the Flip 7 FE will not use an Exynos chip. 11, 2025 This isn't the first time we've heard rumors Samsung may try and bring the Exynos chips back to prominence — rather than limiting them to cheap and mid-range phones like the Galaxy A56. There was speculation that the Galaxy S25 would run on the Exynos 2500, and recently we've heard rumors that the Galaxy S26 series could run on Exynos 2600 chips in some regions. Personally, I'd rather Samsung not switch to Exynos chips in the flagships. Back in the days before Exynos took a back seat, the only Samsung phones to get Qualcomm chips were those sold in the U.S. Everyone else got Exynos, and it was universally agreed that the North American models were better performing phones. There are reasons why Samsung started offering Qualcomm chips globally, but it doesn't actually matter now. The fact the rest of the world has been given a taste of what Snapdragon chips have to offer means any attempt to switch back to Exynos isn't going to be popular. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Though, admittedly, Exynos chips could have improved a lot in the past few years — especially with the change to a 3nm process. There's no way Samsung can show us what the chips are now capable of unless it actually puts them into flagship phones. But we won't really know what's actually happening until the next big Galaxy Unpacked, when Samsung unveils both the Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This should be at some point in July, if rumors are to be believed. Until then be sure to check out our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 hubs for all the latest news and rumors for both phones.
