To Exynos or not to Exynos, that is the question for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series. And, additionally, where to Exynos? We’ve heard tons of reports already saying many different things – either only the S26 and S26+ will get the soon to be revealed Exynos 2600 SoC, or maybe the Ultra too, but only in some regions.
