Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 now 'confirmed' to mark the Exynos 2500's belated debut

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip7 is expected to become official alongside the Fold7 in early July, and there has been some confusion regarding the chipset that will be powering it. Today, a new report claims to 'confirm' (as much as any rumor can) that Samsung's Exynos 2500 SoC will finally make its debut in the Galaxy Z Flip7.

The Exynos 2500 was destined for the Galaxy S25 family, but Samsung had to give up on it because of yield issues with production. That's why the Snapdragon 8 Elite is in there instead. But now, apparently those yield issues have been fixed, or with the Flip7's lower projected sales numbers, they don't matter.

That is, of course, if this rumor pans out. The source goes on to claim that the Exynos 2500 will be used in most countries, including India and Korea. It's the first time an Exynos features in a foldable Samsung device, so it's a pretty big deal. Samsung may allegedly use the Snapdragon 8 Elite in China and North America only.

The Exynos 2500 has a ten-core CPU with one Cortex-X925 cores clocked at up to 3.3 GHz, two Cortex-A725 cores clocked at up to 2.75 GHz, five Cortex-A725 cores clocked at up to 2.36 GHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. The GPU is the Xclipse 950 based on AMD RDNA 3.5 architecture.
