According to a report by Korea Economic Daily, the Galaxy S26 lineup will be powered by an in-house Exynos 2600 chipset. The new processor is said to be housed in approximately 50% of the Galaxy S26 devices across South Korea and European regions. The US, Japan, and China markets will reportedly get Qualcomm-powered units. For reference, Samsung used to have Exynos-powered flagship Galaxy S-series phones until the Galaxy S22.
If you've been wondering what to expect from Samsung's next flagship smartphone in terms of screen size, the answer is allegedly - a very tiny improvement. The S26 Ultra is said to boast a 6.89" panel, which the company will most likely round up to 6.9" in its marketing materials. And guess what the Galaxy S25 Ultra's screen size is? Allegedly 6.86" exactly, but Samsung is rounding that up to the exact same 6.9".
