According to Dealsite, the company is only getting about 50% of chips working from the first 15,000 silicon wafers, and analysts are already calling this an “early launch” of the technology.
It was initially reported that Exynos 2600 would be installed in approximately half of the Galaxy S26 series smartphones, but now, according to updated data, its share will not exceed 30%.
The remaining devices will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. At the same time, Samsung’s internal tests showed that the new Exynos could outperform solutions from Apple and Qualcomm, but manufacturing problems will not allow it to be used in all models, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Samsung is also using the same 2nm process for test production of the Tesla AI6 chip and plans to increase the yield by then.
The company hopes that the accumulated experience will help improve production performance and attract new customers, including Qualcomm.
