Samsung Puts Exynos 2700 in Galaxy S27 Pro Globally, Keeps Snapdragon in US

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 6

Summary

  • A new leak says Samsung will ship the Galaxy S27 Pro with its Exynos 2700 in most markets, while US models keep a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip.
  • The same split is expected across the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus, as Samsung pushes more in-house silicon; only the Galaxy S27 Ultra would stay Snapdragon-only worldwide.
  • Exynos 2700 is rumored to be a 2nm chip using a Side-by-Side package that places the processor and DRAM next to each other to improve heat dissipation.
  • That setup could weaken the S27 Pro’s appeal outside the US, because the new model is expected to offer near-Ultra specs without the S Pen but not the top Qualcomm chip.
  • The leak also points to broader S27 upgrades, including a Privacy Display across the lineup and a new 16MP front camera for the Pro and Ultra.
