Samsung is apparently making solid progress on its next in-house flagship chipset. According to reports, the company is getting serious about using more Exynos processors in its premium Galaxy S phones. This is a step in their ongoing effort to rely less on outside chipmakers while improving performance and efficiency.
In a recent briefing, Samsung executive Park Yong-in (President and Head of the System LSI Business) confirmed that development of the Exynos 2700 is “proceeding without setbacks.” He made it clear they want to use it in their top-tier smartphones. While he didn’t name specific models, most people expect it to power the Galaxy S27 series, which should arrive in early 2027.
This is one of the strongest official hints we’ve gotten about the Exynos 2700 so far. It’s expected to go up against Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 (or whatever the next high-end chip is), and Samsung will probably stick with its usual dual-chip strategy: using Exynos in some regions and Snapdragon in others.
On the technical side, there are some promising improvements. Unlike the previous generation, the Exynos 2700 is expected to use a side-by-side (SBS) layout where the processor and DRAM sit together on the same substrate. A special Heat Path Block (basically a better heat sink) will cover both, which should bring better thermal management, up to 30-40% higher memory bandwidth, improved efficiency, and more consistent performance when the phone is working hard.
Samsung has had some past struggles with Exynos chips in flagships, things like manufacturing yields and overheating, which is why they weren’t used everywhere. The new chip, built on an enhanced 2nm process, is aiming to finally close the gap with Qualcomm, especially in single-core speed, while potentially doing even better in multi-core and sustained tasks.
Challenges like high manufacturing costs and Qualcomm’s strong ecosystem still exist. As the Galaxy S27 lineup comes together, how well the Exynos 2700 performs will be a major factor in Samsung’s ability to deliver great flagships that are also profitable.
