The Exynos 2600 is Samsung's next flagship chip, and it will be used in the Galaxy S26 series early next year. Two of its rivals, though, will be announced next week, while one has been launched already. Those two upcoming chips are from MediaTek and Qualcomm.
MediaTek has announced that it will launch its next-generation flagship smartphone chipset on September 22 at 2:00 p.m. local time (2:00 a.m. ET). It is the Dimensity 9500, and it will compete with Apple's A19 Pro, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and Samsung's Exynos 2600 over the next year or so.
Coincidentally, Qualcomm will also launch the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 next week at the Snapdragon Summit 2025 event. The Exynos 2600 will likely be announced later this year or early next year.

The Dimensity 9500 is fabricated on TSMC's third-generation 3nm process node and most likely uses Arm's new Lumex platform with C1 series CPU cores and the Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 (12-core) GPU. It can be paired with LPDDR5x RAM (10667Mbps) and UFS 4.1 storage.
Leaked specifications reveal that the Dimensity 9500 has an octa-core CPU with one C1-Ultra (Travis) core clocked at 4.21GHz, three C1-Premium (Alto) cores at 3.50GHz, and four C1-Pro (Gelas) cores running at 2.7GHz. It is also said to feature an integrated NPU with 100 TOPS of AI inferencing performance. It also features an integrated 5G modem, GNSS, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and USB Type-C port compatibility.
A variant of this chip will likely be used in the Galaxy Tab S12 series later this year or early next year. It will also be used in the OPPO Find X9 series and Vivo's X300 series.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is a 3nm chip as well, similar to the Apple A19 Pro and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. However, it uses Qualcomm's in-house Oryon CPU cores. Its prime CPU core could reach up to a clock speed of 4.6GHz, while its Adreno GPU is said to reach up to 1.2GHz of clock speed. Its ‘For Galaxy' version could reach up to 4.7GHz of CPU clock speed.
This chip will debut inside the Xiaomi 17 series, which consists of Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. It reportedly scores up to 4.2 million points in the AnTuTu v10 benchmark. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip will most likely be used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

In comparison, Samsung's in-house Exynos 2600 chip is fabricated on Samsung Foundry's 2nm (SF2) process node. In fact, it will be the world's first 2nm smartphone chip. It will likely be used in the Galaxy S26 Pro and the Galaxy S26 Edge in some countries and regions.
It has a 10-core CPU, featuring one prime (likely C1-Ultra) CPU core, three performance (likely C1-Pro) CPU cores clocked at 2.96GHz, and six efficiency (likely C1-Nano) CPU cores running at 2.46GHz. It also features the Xclipse 960 GPU, which uses AMD's RDNA architecture for graphics processing and likely has dedicated hardware for ray-tracing processing.
This chip was recently spotted in Geekbench database, and it scored 3,309 points in the single-core test and 11,256 points in the multi-core test. It could be 15% faster than last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite and around 35% faster than this year's Exynos 2500 chip used in the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
