Qualcomm is reportedly in talks and conducting work related to Samsung Foundry’s 2nm process for future Snapdragon flagship mobile chipsets. NDTV cites remarks made at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit 2026 by Chris Patrick, Qualcomm’s Senior Vice President and Head of Mobile Handsets, who confirms ongoing collaboration with Samsung Electronics and that Qualcomm is working with Samsung Foundry on the 2nm technology.
Other reporting provides additional context about earlier rumors and the status of recent production. GSMArena notes that earlier speculation suggested Qualcomm might use Samsung’s 2nm process for upcoming Snapdragon chips, but that certain recently launched high-end Snapdragon designs are already manufactured by TSMC. The outlet also reports that Patrick’s comments indicate “in-depth work” on Samsung’s 2nm process technology, without necessarily confirming it for immediately released models.
Taken together, the sources agree Qualcomm is engaging with Samsung’s 2nm node, while differing on the extent to which it will apply to specific near-term Snapdragon products.
