Samsung is going to introduce 2nm technology chips for the first time in its flagship phone Galaxy S26 series next year. This will not only improve the performance of the phone, but it can also prove to be a big game changer for the company.

What is a 2nm chip and why does it matter?
2nm means that the transistors of the chip are very small. Its direct advantage is that the speed of the phone increases, the battery is consumed less and the heat is less. Samsung's new 2nm chips will be 25% more power efficient and will get 12% more performance.
Who will make this chip - Qualcomm or Samsung?
The Galaxy S26 series can have two types of chips:
1. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (2nm) - This chip is being manufactured by Qualcomm and a variant of it will also be manufactured at Samsung's chip factory.
2. Exynos 2600 (2nm) - Samsung's own chip, which can be used in Galaxy S26 and S26+ in some countries.
This will not allow Samsung to be completely dependent on Qualcomm, and the cost will also be reduced.
Samsung Foundry will benefit greatly
Samsung is now making chips not only for phones, but also for others. If 2nm chips are successful, Samsung Foundry will get more orders and the company's profit will also increase. This will give direct competition to companies like Apple and TSMC.
Will S26 Ultra also have Exynos?
No, as per the information available, only Snapdragon chips will be given in Galaxy S26 Ultra, so that top performance is maintained. Exynos versions will be limited to S26 and S26+ only.
Double benefit for Samsung
Galaxy S26's 2nm chips can give Samsung better performance, less battery cost and more profit. This technology could prove to be beneficial for both Samsung phones and factories.
