TL;DR
- The Exynos 2600 chipset expected in some Galaxy S26 models doesn’t have an integrated modem.
- Instead, Samsung confirmed that the processor has an external modem.
- An external modem is typically less efficient than an integrated design.
Some Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus models are expected to arrive with an Exynos 2600 chipset instead of a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Samsung has already announced this new Exynos processor, but this chip differs from recent Exynos chips in a big way.
