Samsung has officially unveiled its latest high-end chipset, the Exynos 2500, just ahead of its anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event in July. This chip succeeds the Exynos 2400 and is built on Samsung’s advanced 3nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) process. Now in mass production, the Exynos 2500 is expected to power upcoming Samsung devices, with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 being the most likely candidate. Multiple leaks suggest that this year’s foldable could ditch Snapdragon in favor of Samsung’s in-house chip globally.
The Exynos 2500 features a strong CPU layout:
-
1 Cortex-X5 core clocked at 3.3GHz
-
2 Cortex-A725 cores at 2.74GHz
-
5 Cortex-A725 cores at 2.36GHz
-
2 Cortex-A520 cores at 1.8GHz
It also packs the new Xclipse 950 GPU, supporting 4K displays at 120Hz and enabling hardware-based ray tracing for better gaming graphics. The chipset is capable of handling up to 320MP cameras, recording 8K video at 30fps, and works with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
In terms of connectivity, it features:
-
Exynos 5400 modem
-
mmWave 5G and satellite support
-
Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
-
Download speeds up to 12.1Gbps
Samsung is also focusing heavily on AI with this chip, stating that the on-device NPU (Neural Processing Unit) can process up to 59 trillion operations per second (TOPS), offering a 39% boost over the Exynos 2400.
Rumors about the Galaxy Z Flip 7 indicate it may feature:
-
A 6.85-inch main display
-
A larger 4-inch cover screen
-
4,000mAh battery
-
50MP main camera
-
12GB RAM and 256GB storage
If true, the Z Flip 7 will be the first foldable phone from Samsung to run on an Exynos chip. It could see significant improvements in AI performance, gaming, and battery life.
While Samsung hasn’t officially named which devices will get the Exynos 2500, the upcoming Unpacked event is expected to reveal more.
