Leaks are already an integral part of the technology sector because it doesn’t happen in other sectors. Initially, some companies fought, even legally, to prevent details of their products from being disclosed in advance; but in practice most accept that this is inevitable. Samsung, being one of the most popular brands, is one of those that suffers the most from these leaks, and the details of the Galaxy S25 are already known several months before its launch.
But that’s nothing compared to the new leak published by Korean media SEDaily: they claim to have Galaxy S27 details. In fact, we are talking about a mobile phone that will not hit the market for at least two and a half years; It’s always possible that Samsung will change its release schedule again, but what seems certain is that the Galaxy S27 won’t arrive until at least 2027.
The leak is also one of the most important, because it affects the most important part of the mobile: the processor. This same week, Samsung was one of the brands to confirm the use of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the new most powerful processor for Android; Although it has not been officially confirmed, rumors suggest that The entire Galaxy S25 range will use the same Qualcomm processor.
This means that Samsung is once again “abandoning” its own Exynos processors in favor of Samsung’s, having already done so with the Galaxy S23. Thanks to the jump in quality obtained with the Exynos 2400, the company decided to use it in certain models of the Galaxy S24, with the exception of the Ultra model which continued with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
According to the new leak, Samsung has decided to exclusively use Qualcomm processors not only in the next Galaxy S25, but also in the future Galaxy S26; Therefore, two consecutive generations will use Snapdragon processors, which has never happened in the entire history of the Galaxy S line. Samsung has always tried to prioritize its Exynos, placing them in at least one generation or a model, but it is. this will be the first time he won’t be able to do it.

The reason is simple: Samsung has not been able to produce a 3nm chip at the level needed to meet demand; The good news is that you’re already planning to solve this problem, and that’s where the Galaxy S27 comes in. According to the leak, Exynos’ next cutting-edge chip is codenamed “Ulysses”, the legendary Greek hero, and will be fmanufactured using a new 2nm process Second generation SF2P developed by Samsung Foundry. This process won’t be ready for use until the end of 2026 and so the Galaxy will have to use Snapdragon by then.
This is a long-term bet, which comes after Samsung reportedly encountered problems developing its 3nm process. The original plan was to use this process for the new Exynos 2500, which would be used in the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+. But engineers encountered difficulty producing enough valid chips to cover production of these phones, hence their cancellation and change of plans.
