Summary
Samsung has not decided whether the Galaxy S27 Ultra will use Exynos 2700, Qualcomm’s next Snapdragon, or a regional split, even as the S27 family reportedly grows from three models to four.
Industry-source reports say Samsung started full-scale Exynos 2700 production this month on its 2-nanometer SF2P process, with output more than 10% above last year as a new S27 Pro joins the lineup.
M16 OLED material is reportedly reserved for the Ultra and Pro, while the base S27 and Plus move to M14, creating a clearer premium split ahead of the expected first-quarter 2027 launch.
Unverified benchmark chatter claims Exynos 2700 beats Qualcomm by 9.5% in multi-core tests, but Samsung’s mobile division is still weighing performance, thermals, pricing and foundry capacity.
Camera changes are less firmly sourced: a single tipster says Samsung may drop the Ultra’s 3x telephoto lens, a move that could narrow the gap with the new Pro model if it sticks.
