What you need to knowA recent rumor claims that Samsung is now considering a next-gen 2nm process “For Galaxy” Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variant for the Galaxy Z Flip 8.Supposedly, Samsung has already given Qualcomm “samples” of this chip ahead of what’s likely a long development process.The rumors take us in a different direction, as previous reports said Samsung was considering this for its Galaxy S26 series.<\/p>\n

There’s a report from overseas that chimed in about Samsung’s alleged chip situation for 2026, and it seems the company is mulling over an upgrade from its own lab.<\/p>\n

The report in question was posted by the South Korean publication NewDaily<\/a>, which claims that Samsung is allegedly looking to work together with Qualcomm for a newly refined “For Galaxy” chip (via SamMobile<\/a>). The post suggests that Samsung has been pushing ahead with its SF2 process, otherwise known as the 2nm process for an SoC.<\/p>\n

According to its source, Samsung has given Qualcomm “samples” of its 2nm technology for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This would, essentially, become a “For Galaxy” chip that’s using Samsung’s technology, instead of purely Qualcomm’s 3nm. However, there’s a rumor that the overclocked chip could find a home in the Galaxy Z Flip 8 next year. This reportedly comes from a rumor that Samsung is “internally considering” producing the boosted Snapdragon chip within its Foundry for its foldable.<\/p>\n

The publication speculates that this could be due to a potential partnership between TSMC and the Samsung Foundry to get this completed. We’re in a bit of a no man’s land with these rumors, as a previous report tells a different story.<\/p>\n

The Flip 8… and the Galaxy S26?<\/p>\n

There were rumors about a new “For Galaxy” chip<\/a> in the air; however, that was during the summer and only mentioned the Galaxy S26 series. Those rumors said that Qualcomm was looking to get Samsung to create a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 alternative using its 2nm process. Qualcomm would continue to provide the chip using the 3nm process to all other OEMs.<\/p>\n

This chip, which would be “For Galaxy,” an overclocked version, would only concern the Galaxy S26 series next year. There was some hope around this rumor, as Samsung reportedly achieved ~30% production yield early on. This has been echoed recently with today’s South Korean report.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear just where we’re going following the latest rumor. Whether Samsung brings its 2nm Snapdragon variant to both series remains the sole question. It would be nice if the Flip 8 would see it, considering the Flip 7 had to settle for the Exynos 2500<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The idea of Samsung working with Qualcomm to create 2nm chips takes us back again to a 2024 rumor that such a reality could unfold<\/a>. Qualcomm was also reportedly interested in tapping TSMC to do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to knowA recent rumor claims that Samsung is now considering a next-gen 2nm process “For…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-217005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
