According to leaker Ice Universe, Samsung is considering using Snapdragon chips exclusively for the Galaxy S26 series to bring good performance as well as excellent power efficiency.

However, this is not the end of Samsung's Exynos chip, as Ice Universe also said that the company is still developing the next generation Exynos chip. The new chip is known to be codenamed "Ulysses" and will be for the Galaxy S27 series, which will be launched in 2027. The chip is manufactured on Samsung Foundry's second-generation 2nm process (SF2P), and is expected to be ready by the end of 2026.

Previously, there were also rumors that Samsung would choose both Exynos and Snapdragon chips (similar to the Galaxy S24 Series) for the Samsung Galaxy S25, but Samsung recently confirmed that the company will only use Snapdragon chips for devices worldwide. The reason given could be because Samsung did not achieve enough production and had to abandon the Exynos chip to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Samsung is reportedly looking to regain user trust in its Exynos chips with the Ulysses project. Hopefully, the company will be able to fix the performance issues with this project.
