A new insider tip claims the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will exclusively use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, skipping Samsung's own Exynos 2700. While the Exynos 2700 is reportedly an excellent chip built on Samsung's advanced 2nm GAA process with significant performance and efficiency gains, production yields and strategic relationships with Qualcomm are influencing the decision. Samsung System LSI is pushing for Exynos adoption in flagships, but the S27 Ultra is expected to remain Snapdragon-only.
The Galaxy S27, S27+, and new S27 Pro models will feature Exynos in Europe and Korea, while China and the US versions will use Snapdragon. A final decision has not been officially confirmed, but this is the most likely outcome based on current reports.
