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.
