What you need to know
- Overseas rumors suggest Samsung’s Exynos 2700 has entered the mass production stage.
- The chip is reportedly going to be applied to the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, and “S27 Pro;” however, decisions need to be made about the S27 Ultra.
- Recent rumors about the chip suggest Samsung is working on improving its heat generation/dissipation, as well as allegations about its increased performance.
Samsung is reportedly moving ahead with its next-gen in-house chip, the Exynos 2700. As it enters mass production, there are a few lingering questions still left unsolved concerning its application.
A report by The Elec (Korean) suggests Samsung is moving forward with the Exynos 2700, entering its mass production stage (Via SamMobile). According to the publication’s insiders, there are two decisions the company had to make. The first reportedly concerns its “increase in volume.” Supposedly, Samsung has started crafting ~10% more Exynos 2700 chips.
Rumors claim this is done to accomodate the alleged “Galaxy S27 Pro” we’ve seen in rumors throughout 2026. However, there’s uncertainty behind its Galaxy S27 Ultra application. Usually, Samsung integrates its Exynos chip in its flagship series in various overseas markets. Korean and (at times) Europe have received this version over Qualcomm.

However, the publication claims it “has not yet been decided” how widespread Exynos 2700 will be for the S27 Ultra. It’s under current speculation that the S27 series would recieve the latest Snapdragon chips in the U.S., but beyond that, the report is uncertain.
Rumors so far
Samsung was reportedly fast-tracking its Exynos 2700 development. Supposedly, the company’s major focus involved the chip’s HPB (Heat Path Block) technology. This enables the chip to throw off heat, reducing its temperature and remaining cooler overall. No one wants a hot phone all the time, and that was precisely an issue Samsung’s Exynos often suffered from.
There were also rumors that Samsung’s application of the Exynos 2700 in the Galaxy S27 series could help “reduce costs” for consumers. Elsewhere, we have some performance rumors. Rumors from the spring suggest the chip could feature a 10-core structure, and its fastest core could clock in at ~2.88GHz. What’s more, the Xclipse 970 GPU was spotted for the chip, with reports purporting a ~12% performance boost.
Similar rumors continued, with some boldly claiming the Exynos 2700 could top Qualcomm’s flagship chips.
Android Central’s Take
I don’t think Samsung is too far out of its depth with the Exynos. I think it needs to buckle down, lock in, and make a good chip. Its 2600 wasn’t terrible. It was a decent step in the right direction. But we all know what I’m going to talk about, right? How is it graphically? Can it hold up well for games? Think about: if a chip can do that, you’d figure it can handle everything else without fail. It should be smooth, cool. We expect Samsung’s next phones next year, and that’s likely when we’ll know everything for sure.
