A new report strongly suggests that the Exynos 2500 will debut in the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Most regions will apparently get the Exynos chip, while the US, China, and Canada will stick with Snapdragon.
Samsung may favor Exynos in foldables due to cost and thermal performance benefits.

Samsung surprised some people earlier this year when it launched the Galaxy S25 lineup with Snapdragon chips across the board, despite long-standing rumors of a new 3nm Exynos processor. If the latest report is to be believed, the company hadn’t shelved the chip — it’s just giving it a different debut.

According to SamMobile, citing its own sources, the Exynos 2500 will appear in the Galaxy Z Flip 7, marking the first time an Exynos chip has powered any of Samsung’s foldables. Designated S5E9955, the chip is said to be coming to most markets globally, including India and South Korea. China, the US, and Canada will likely stick with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset.
