Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ lately, and in some markets these are each powered by the corporate’s personal Exynos 2600 SoC. Now, a brand new report from Korea claims Samsung is already engaged on the Exynos 2800, anticipated to make its debut in 2028 within the Galaxy S28 household.

The Exynos 2800 is rumored to be made by Samsung on a 2nm course of (SF2P+, particularly), and Samsung desires to finish the design of the chipset and hand over the schematics to the foundry “inside the 12 months”. After that step, the foundry will make a number of generations of samples bettering issues between them. Solely after that can precise chip mass manufacturing begin.
The Exynos 2800 is allegedly codenamed Vanguard (the upcoming Exynos 2700 is Ulysses). Samsung had deliberate to make use of a 1.4nm course of from 2027, nevertheless it has since determined to focus as a substitute on yield stabilization and optimization moderately than chase dimension in any respect prices. SF2P+ is an middleman step till the 1.4nm course of does really arrive in 2029.
The identical supply claims the design of the Exynos 2700 has proceeded easily due to the truth that it is also sticking with 2nm. In line with “an official from the semiconductor business”, Samsung thinks it is turn out to be unattainable to hold out course of miniaturization in cellular chipsets yearly, on the similar cadence as up to now.
As a substitute, the corporate may also give attention to design know-how co-optimization – which is optimization between semiconductor design and manufacturing course of know-how. This shall be utilized in new processes which can be unfavorable for yield enchancment on account of their low technical maturity.
