Ever since the low yield of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip that Samsung Foundry manufactured, Qualcomm moved to TSMC for its chip manufacturing, starting with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. However, a recent report from a Korean news outlet suggests that this will likely change. To some extent.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 was announced in late September and is built on the 3nm node by TSMC, but according to the latest rumor, Samsung will be tasked with the production of the “for Galaxy” iteration that the company has been implementing in its flagship phones for the past couple of generations.
Moreover, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 for Galaxy SoC won’t be just an overclocked version of the standard one, but it will likely be built on Samsung’s 2nm GAA process.
Even Qualcomm officially announced that Samsung will be the new chip in its upcoming flagship phones, sparking rumors about the Galaxy S26 series running on Qualcomm’s platform once again. However, the report suggests that the next “for Galaxy” chipset will be used in Samsung’s 2026 foldables next summer instead, leaving the Exynos 2600 for the Galaxy S series.
