While Samsung has used both its proprietary Exynos and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips for its flagship smartphones, its premium foldable phones have typically used only high end Snapdragon processors. But the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be the first to break this cycle.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 tipped with Exynos 2500 once again
The rumor mill regarding the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s chipset has been contradictory, to say the least. In one of our earlier reports, we covered how the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will exclusively use the Exynos 2500, with mass production set to kick off in May 2025. But a few days later, another rumor surfaced regarding the next gen flip phone passing Samsung’s internal tests with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
But a fresh report from the South Korean publication, ChosunBiz, hints at the Exynos 2500 being finalized for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. According to industry sources close to the matter, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 would be the first foldable to debut with an Exynos chipset (2500). On the other hand, the more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Samsung apparently begin production with 200,000 units planned for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Initial doubts regarding the Exynos 2500 was stemming from Samsung facing yield issues with the chip production. But it seems the problem might have been addressed. With the new Qualcomm chip getting expensive over its predecessor, the in house chip could help the brand keep cost low as well.
