The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will come with a custom Snapdragon chip
While the Galaxy S26 lineup that's about to launch next month is rumored to be feature Exynos and Qualcomm chips earlier reports suggested Samsung might be ready to move to its own silicon for the following generation. Now however prominent Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra will maintain the current tradition of running only a Snapdragon chipset.
The San Diego maker will deliver a custom chip likely to be called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro to secure the order. It is going to be based on Samsung's 2nm manufacturing process. Seeing how TSMC is struggling with capacity, chip manufacturers are flocking to alternatives like Samsung. Additionally, industry watchers say Samsung has already fixed its yield issues.
The other two models, the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus, will likely run on Samsung's upcoming Exynos 2600 SoC. Or at least that's what the current rumors imply.
