However, another tipster has pointed out small differences in the leaked specs. Samsung has confirmed the chip, but final details are still awaited.
Exynos 2600 CPU Specifications For Galaxy S26 Series
According to Samsung insider PhoneArt (@UniverseIce), the Exynos 2600 is a deca-core processor with a total of 10 CPU cores. It follows a tri-cluster design for better performance and efficiency.
Exclusive: Now I’m going to disclose the key parameters of Exynos 2600

The chip includes one prime core clocked at 3.9GHz, six performance cores running at 3.25GHz, and three efficiency cores clocked at 2.75GHz. This setup is designed to handle heavy tasks smoothly while also saving power during lighter usage.
One of the biggest highlights is the manufacturing process. Exynos 2600 is built using Samsung Foundry’s advanced 2nm process.
Compared to current flagship chips from Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek, this gives Samsung a generational advantage in fabrication technology.
However, tipster ErencanYılmaz claims there are slight errors in these numbers. As per their screenshots, the prime core runs at 3.8GHz, performance cores at 3.26GHz, and efficiency cores at 2.76GHz.
Exynos 2600 GPU Details & Galaxy S26 Launch Timeline
The leak also reveals GPU details of the Exynos 2600. The chipset uses an AMD JUNO-powered GPU running at 985MHz. Samsung may market this GPU as Xclipse 960.
The GPU supports Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3.0. However, the second tipster claims Vulkan version support is actually 1.4, and the peak GPU frequency is 980MHz.
Samsung has officially confirmed the Exynos 2600 chipset but has not yet shared full specifications. The company is expected to reveal the chip shortly before the Galaxy S26 launch. Until then, all leaks should be taken with caution.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in February, with sales starting in March. Samsung is prioritising mass production of the Ultra model, while other variants may arrive slightly later. The new phones will also debut with One UI 8.5.
