TL;DR

• Samsung’s mobile unit is reportedly in talks to reduce Exynos 2600 pricing by $20 to $30 compared to flagship Snapdragon silicon.
• It’s believed this move is meant to improve profitability, suggesting that these savings won’t be passed on to consumers.
• Samsung is also tipped to release an Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 in Asia.

Recent leaks suggest that Samsung will use Exynos or Snapdragon silicon in the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus, depending on the region. Now, another source has chimed in, while adding more details.

Chosun Biz (via Jukanlosreve on Twitter) reports that the Exynos 2600-equipped Galaxy S26 will primarily be sold in Asia, including Korea. This comes after ET News reported last week that the S26 and S26 Plus will receive Exynos power in Korea and Europe, but Snapdragon silicon in North America. ET News added that the S26 Ultra will be equipped with a Snapdragon chip globally.
