TL;DR

• Samsung’s Exynos 2700 chipset is reportedly far along in development, with samples already produced and in testing.
• The chip will bring improved power efficiency and heat management to the Galaxy S27 series.
• Samsung may finalize the chipset’s design within the next couple of months.

Development Progress

According to a report by Yonhap News Agency (via SamMobile), samples of the Exynos 2700 that will power next year’s Galaxy S27 phones (at least in some markets) have already been produced and are currently being tested within Samsung. The company aims to have the design finalized in the first half of this year.

Technical Details

• Process node: Like the Exynos 2600, the Exynos 2700 is expected to be built on a 2 nm fabrication process, which should provide a notable boost in power efficiency compared with the previous generation.
• Heat management: Samsung is incorporating a component called a Heat Path Block to improve thermal dissipation. More information on this architecture can be found in Samsung’s tech blog: Introducing a new package architecture for improved thermal efficiency in mobile application processors. This could address longstanding complaints about Exynos chips running hot and throttling performance.

Timeline

The Galaxy S26 series was only recently released, so details may evolve before the Galaxy S27 reaches store shelves, expected sometime in 2027.
