The Exynos-equipped Galaxy S26 and S26+ could come with a discount for Samsung
"Samsung is expected to launch its Galaxy S26 series in February and rumors suggest we will see the return of the Exynos chipset in most regions. The S26 and S26+ will be equipped with Exynos 2600 in markets like Korea and Europe, while North America will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite 5 chip instead. The S26 Ultra will reportedly get the Snapdragon chip in all regions."
"The new report also mentions that while the Exynos 2600 has shown good promise in benchmarking results, it is too early to tell if that will translate to real-world usage. The Exynos 2600 is expected to be fabbed on Samsung's 2nm process, featuring a deca-core 1+3+6 CPU configuration with peak clock speeds of 3.8GHz. The chip is reportedly ready to edge out the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip by 29% in the GPU department."
Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy S26 series in February. The S26 and S26+ will use the Exynos 2600 in markets such as Korea and Europe, while North America will receive the Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite 5; the S26 Ultra will use the Snapdragon globally. Samsung's System LSI and MX divisions are negotiating to lower Exynos 2600 pricing by $20–$30 per unit, likely increasing profit margins on Exynos models. The Exynos 2600 is expected to be manufactured on Samsung's 2nm process with a deca-core 1+3+6 CPU up to 3.8GHz, and benchmarks indicate notably strong GPU and competitive CPU performance, though real-world results remain uncertain.
