Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro leak hints use of in-house Exynos 2600 SoC in specific countries
According to a leak by SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro will be either available with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC or Exynos 2600 SoC.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series will be launching early 2026 and will be the latest premium smartphone series from the South Korean manufacturer. The devices that will be offered in the series are rumoured to comprise the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the latest leak, the Galaxy S26 Pro will be powered by Exynos 2600 SoC in specific countries.
According to a leak by SamMobile, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro will be either available with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC or Exynos 2600 SoC. In the US and China markets, the Galaxy S26 Pro will be available with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. This might mean that we (in India) will get the device with Exynos 2600 SoC.
The company might take a similar path for the Galaxy S26+ model. Even though Samsung was planning to drop the Plus model in S26 line-up, it has started its development following the un-expected sales of Galaxy S25 Edge, reported GSMArena.
When it comes to Exynos 2600, the in-house chipset from Samsung will be the first 2nm mobile chip. It is expected to come with a deca-core CPU configuration (1+3+6) configuration. The mass production of the chipset has already begun last month, mentioned reports.
