Galaxy S27 Chipset Rumours Take Another Turn as Snapdragon Returns to Korea

The chipset story for the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro has changed again.

Previous reports suggested Samsung would use its Exynos 2600 chip for the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro, while the Galaxy S27 would use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

A leak last week suggested Samsung was going to use the Exynos 2600 in South Korea, while the rest of the world would get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

Snapdragon in Korea after all

Now, according to Korean publication yeux1122, Samsung is reportedly going to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 for the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro in South Korea, too.

So now, Samsung will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in all Galaxy S27 models in Korea. The Exynos 2600 will be used in the Galaxy S27 Pro in Europe, while the Galaxy S27 Ultra will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in Europe too.

The Exynos 2600 is Samsung's first 2nm chip, and it is expected to be used in the Galaxy S27 Pro in Europe.
