Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series is expected to launch early next year, with reports now focusing on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Multiple outlets say insiders claim the Ultra could use Samsung’s Exynos 2700 chipset in at least some markets, potentially replacing a previously planned Snapdragon-only approach.
GSMArena reports that development of the S27 Ultra is near completion and that the original plan was to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 across all markets. It adds that internal benchmarks have made the Exynos 2700 a viable alternative, and that Samsung teams coordinated on an Exynos-based motherboard for the device. NDTV similarly reports that an Exynos 2700-equipped Ultra could mark a return to Exynos for the top-end model, suggesting it could be the first Ultra-series Exynos use since the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Both accounts frame the change as an at-times late-stage decision to support different chip supply, though details on which regions would receive Exynos versus Snapdragon are not fully specified in the provided reports.
