Samsung has already begun mass production of the Exynos 2700 chip to support the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Series, especially the new Galaxy S27 Pro lineup that is being introduced.
South Korean news outlet The Elec reported that Samsung has started large-scale manufacturing of the Exynos 2700 chipset, targeting production capacity more than 10 percent higher than the previous Exynos 2600 model to support the Galaxy S27 Pro, the newest member of the Galaxy S family. The use of this chip in the Galaxy S27 Ultra has not yet been decided.
The report states that the Galaxy S27 Pro, along with the standard Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+, will use the Exynos 2700 chip in South Korea and Europe. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Chinese markets will feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip instead.
For the Galaxy S27 Ultra, the flagship model of the series, Samsung's System LSI division, which designs the Exynos chipsets, is highly confident in the performance of the Exynos 2700 and is pushing to have this chip used in the Ultra model. This move aims to boost the business unit's revenue and demonstrate that Samsung-produced chips are capable for high-end flagship smartphones.
However, the final decision on which models will use which chips lies with Samsung MX, the smartphone manufacturing unit, which is currently evaluating several factors including performance tests, heat management, Qualcomm chip pricing, and whether the Exynos 2700's production capacity can meet the demand for the entire series.
The Exynos 2700 is produced using Samsung’s SF2P technology, a 2-nanometer Gate-All-Around process architecture, notable for reducing power consumption by approximately 25 percent and decreasing chip size by 8 percent.
Samsung began ordering mass production of the Exynos 2700 as early as October because chip manufacturing takes about three to four months from the start of mass production orders until the products are ready for sale. This schedule aligns with the planned Galaxy S27 Series launch in February or March 2027.
