Samsung may use this chip for Galaxy S27 Ultra in Europe

Ahead of every new Galaxy S series launch, rumors and reports often emerge about whether Samsung will use its in-house Exynos chipsets or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors. The upcoming Galaxy S27 series is no exception.

Most reports so far have claimed that Samsung will equip the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, and Galaxy S27 Pro with the Exynos 2700, while reserving Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Extreme for the Galaxy S27 Ultra. This is reportedly the plan for at least the European and South Korean markets. Now, another report has emerged supporting these claims.

On X, popular tipster Ice Universe claims that there are no signs of Samsung equipping the Galaxy S27 Ultra with the Exynos 2700 in Europe. However, the situation in South Korea remains unclear. In other words, Samsung appears to be planning to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset for the Galaxy S27 Ultra in Europe.

That said, Samsung using the Exynos 2700 in any of the Galaxy S27 models would not necessarily be a bad thing, as its Exynos processors have improved significantly over the years. In fact, the Exynos 2700 reportedly outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Extreme in performance tests. Meanwhile, the Exynos 2600 has emerged as one of the most energy-efficient processors in several tests.
