JAKARTA - Samsung seems to be planning to continue using Exynos chips as the heart of its clamshell folding phone line. The latest report says that the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will use the Exynos 2600 chip based on a 2nm process.
This move continues the decision made on the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which was the first model in the Flip series to switch from Snapdragon and adopt an Exynos chip. Previously, every Galaxy Z Flip model since its debut launch in 2020 has relied on Qualcomm processors.
The shift to the Z Flip 7 signals a change in strategy, with Samsung seemingly more confident of implementing its own custom silicon in a premium foldable device.
Exynos 2600 baru saja secara resmi diumumkan dan juga diperkirakan akan menjadi tenaga penggerak untuk model Galaxy S26 dan Galaxy S26+ mendatang. Namun, rumor menyebutkan bahwa varian Exynos dari lini S26 mungkin hanya tersedia eksklusif di negara asal Samsung.
Samsung positions this 2nm-based Exynos chip as a significant advancement in terms of performance and efficiency, which is crucial for compact devices such as the Flip series. However, previous Exynos launch experiences show that it's best to wait for real-world performance data before drawing conclusions.
In addition to 2nm-based chips, another highlight of the Flip 8 is its thickness - according to the latest leaks. Samsung is reportedly planning to make its latest foldable phone thinner, following what it did with the Fold 7.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 was launched in July 2025, and Samsung is expected to follow a similar schedule for the Galaxy Z Flip 8. At this stage, specifications are still subject to change, and Samsung has not confirmed any details.
Even so, this report shows that Samsung is serious about establishing Exynos as a long-term solution for its foldable devices, at least on the Flip line. Whether this approach succeeds or not will likely depend on performance and efficiency in the real world once the devices are launched.
