Samsung hints Galaxy Z Flip7 will feature Exynos 2500 chipset

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is rumored to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. However, the source did not mention what chip will be used in the new flip phone. Fortunately, Samsung’s System LSI division has shared during its earnings call that they are optimizing the Exynos 2500 chip and are “looking to secure design wins for mobile models set to launch in the second half of the year.”

Possible Use of Exynos 2500 in Future Foldables

Samsung has a specific timeline for releasing its Z series devices. Therefore, it’s likely that the Exynos 2500 will power one of the upcoming foldable models. Given the current speculation about the Galaxy Z Fold7 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it appears that this flip phone might highlight Samsung’s advancements with its latest in-house application processor this year.

Information on Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6

It is still just a rumor that the Z Fold7 will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite, so both the premium foldable and flip phones may still come with Samsung’s own chip. For anyone curious, there is another device rumored to be on the way this year: the Galaxy Z Flip FE. Previous leaks suggest it will run on the Exynos 2400e chip, which is the same chip that powers the Galaxy S24 FE. This chip is essentially a 100MHz underclocked version of the Exynos 2400, and it seems to provide performance close to the flagship Exynos 2400. Therefore, the performance gap between the Z Flip7 and Z Flip FE will mainly be determined by the improvements made with the 3nm technology.

That being said, there isn’t much detailed information yet on the level of enhancement Samsung Foundry or System LSI has achieved with the new chip. We can only hope that Samsung maintains the trend from the last two years and once again delivers a product that keeps pace with the Snapdragon chip in terms of performance.
