Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be first foldable with Exynos chip

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be the first foldable Galaxy smartphone to feature an Exynos chip. Ever since the launch of the original Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has exclusively used Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. However, it could use in-house Exynos chips for some of its future foldable phones.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 could launch next year with Exynos 2500 chip

Samsung officially named the Exynos 2500 chip in its earnings call a few months ago. It was expected that the company would use it in the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25+ in markets outside of China, North America, and South Korea. However, reports indicate that Samsung couldn't achieve the yield required to equip millions of Galaxy S25 series phones.

A report from TheElec claims that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be equipped with the Exynos 2500 chip. The Korean publication reportedly “confirmed this through a high-ranking Samsung Electronics official.

The South Korean firm reportedly plans to manufacture 3 million Galaxy Z Flip 7 units, making up only 1% of Samsung's annual sales. Since the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 are expected to launch in mid-2025, Samsung will have enough time to improve the yield of its first 3nm flagship chip.

However, you should take this information with a pinch of salt, as things can only be confirmed once the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has actually launched.

Rumored Exynos 2500 specifications

The Exynos 2500 uses Samsung's second-generation 3nm process node (GAP/SF3). It is said to feature a 10-core CPU, featuring one Cortex-X925 CPU core clocked at 3.29GHz, five Cortex-A725 CPU cores clocked at up to 2.75GHz, and two Cortex-A520 CPU cores clocked at 1.8GHz.

It uses the Xclipse 950 GPU, which could use AMD's new RDNA architecture and a sizeable jump in graphics performance compared to the Exynos 2400.
