Samsung Trims Exynos 2600 Role in Galaxy Z Flip 8, Bets on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Amid Price Hikes
TL;DR Summary
After Samsung LSI allegedly hiked Exynos 2600 prices to about $270 per unit, Samsung Mobile reportedly reduced Exynos 2600 usage in the Galaxy Z Flip 8 in favor of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (around $230), a shift driven by cost pressures and internal Samsung dynamics. The piece notes that price increases, 2nm process costs, and AI-driven claims contributed to the decision, and it even references a Dubai distributor revolt that allegedly fed gray‑market Galaxy S26 Ultra shipments.
