The Galaxy Z Fold7 was recently tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. But the tipster didn’t reveal the chipset of the upcoming flip phone. Thankfully, Samsung‘s System LSI division itself has now taken the initiative, stating in its earnings call that it is optimizing the Exynos 2500 chip and “aiming to secure design wins for mobile models scheduled for release in 2H.”
Upcoming foldables may indeed use Exynos 2500
This is the release timeline of Samsung’s Z series devices. So, definitely, the Exynos 2500 will power one of the upcoming foldables. Given the recent rumor of Galaxy Z Fold7 getting the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it seems that the flip phone will be the one to showcase Samsung’s achievements with its latest in-house AP this year.
And yes, the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Z Fold7 is still a rumor. So it’s still possible that both the high-end fold and flip phones will equip the company’s in-house chip.
For those wondering, there’s indeed another device rumored to be in the pipeline this year: the Galaxy Z Flip FE. According to previous rumors, this one is expected to be powered by the Exynos 2400e chip, which powers the Galaxy S24 FE. This chip is essentially a 100MHz underclocked (performance core) version of the Exynos 2400, and based on what we have seen so far, it performs almost on par with the flagship Exynos 2400. So the difference in raw performance between the Z Flip7 and Z Flip FE will basically be the improvements Samsung has managed to make with the 3nm process node.

That said, there’s not much information available on how much improvement Samsung Foundry or System LSI has managed to achieve with the new chip. We just hope Samsung continues the trend of the last two years and once again offers something that doesn’t lag too far behind the Snapdragon chip in performance.
