Samsung may change its long-standing Snapdragon preference in the Galaxy S27 Ultra next year and may change it in some countries. Exynos 2700 A processor version may be available for sale. According to the latest information from South Korea, the company has started preparations for Galaxy S27 Ultra motherboards carrying Exynos 2700. Moreover, in Samsung’s in-house tests, the new Exynos processor is ahead of its rival called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, whose official name Qualcomm has not yet announced. If these results are reflected in the final product, Samsung may make room for Exynos again in the Ultra model years later.
According to Money Today’s news, based on industry sources, Samsung was initially planning to develop the Galaxy S27 Ultra only with a Qualcomm processor. The company later added a second hardware option using Exynos 2700 to the program and ordered a motherboard for this version. The news states that the Exynos version may be on sale in certain markets such as South Korea, while Samsung may retain the Snapdragon option in the USA. Since Samsung has not yet officially announced the processor distribution of the Galaxy S27 family, the information at this point should not be considered as final product features.
The real interesting detail on the Exynos 2700 side is the in-house performance measurements. According to Samsung MX tests reported by Yonhap, the Exynos 2700 outperforms the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 in the Geekbench 6.5 multi-core test. 19 percentIf it is from the upper version called Pro 9.5 percent showed higher performance. On the GPU side, the Exynos 2700 surpassed the Pro version by 5 percent at peak performance, while at 2.5 watt power level it had a 24 percent advantage against the standard Qualcomm chip and a 22 percent advantage against the Pro model. In the artificial intelligence test conducted with Llama 3.1 8B, Samsung’s chip recorded an 18 percent higher response rate than the Pro version.
Power consumption figures also explain why Samsung is being more assertive about Exynos 2700. In the same in-house measurement, the Exynos 2700 consumed 161 mA in a real-life usage scenario, while the Snapdragon Pro version remained at 185 mA, which is good for the Samsung processor. 12.7 percent lower power consumption It means. However, the results obtained in synthetic tests do not guarantee that the phone will maintain the same performance during long-term gaming or camera use. In its review of the Galaxy S26 Plus, Android Authority states that the Exynos 2600 gives strong results in short benchmark tests, but suffers from a performance disadvantage as the temperature rises.
The real test for the Exynos 2700 will be heat and efficiency
Samsung aims to specifically improve this point with the Exynos 2700. According to Yonhap, Samsung Foundry is using the new processor as the second generation. 2nm SF2P The company will focus on power efficiency, temperature control and performance optimization. Samsung’s current Exynos 2600 model also uses 2nm GAA manufacturing technology; The company announced a 39 percent increase in CPU performance and a 113 percent increase in artificial intelligence performance in this processor compared to the previous generation. The Galaxy S26 and S26+ also use Exynos 2600 in many markets.
When we look at the Galaxy S27 Ultra, the change is not just about the benchmark results. After the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung moved away from the use of Exynos in its high-end Ultra models. If the company really brings the Exynos 2700 to the Galaxy S27 Ultra, it will again put its own processor at the center of the most expensive Galaxy S model. However, the regional Snapdragon and Exynos distinction may appear to users again, and the actual battery life, temperature and sustainable performance results between the two versions may play an important role in the purchasing decision.
