Galaxy Z Flip 7 Equipped with Exynos 2500 Chipset Expected to Launch Globally
The Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung's anticipated upcoming foldable smartphone, is rumored to employ the Exynos 2500 chipset in most regions globally, including India and South Korea. This switch in chipset choice implies a notable deviation from Samsung's previous strategy of supplying either Exynos or Qualcomm chips based on the market [1].
According to recent reports, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite instead of the Exynos 2500 in the U.S., Canada, and China [1]. However, it is important to note that these rumors are yet to be verified officially.
The Exynos 2500, Samsung's in-house chipset, was initially rumored to debut in the Galaxy Z Flip FE but has now been linked to the flagship Z Flip 7 [5]. This chipset, expected to boast a 10-core structure, could potentially deliver stronger performance with an upgraded single Cortex X-5 CPU that clocks between 3.2 and 3.3GHz [5]. Other speculated upgrades include 2x Cortex-A725, 5x Cortex-A720, and 2x Cortex-A520 cores [5].
Another rumor suggests Samsung may incorporate a titanium hinge into its upcoming foldables, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its tri-fold counterpart [2]. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is not mentioned as part of this potential innovation, suggesting it may retain the same hinge technology as the Z Flip 6.
Historically, Samsung faced yield/production issues with the Exynos 2500, also known as the "Galaxy Z Flip FE's" rumored chip [3]. Alleged "severe" issues reportedly hindered the chip's production, but it is uncertain whether these problems have been resolved [3].
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and its sibling, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, are expected to be unveiled during Samsung's summer Unpacked event [4]. For more updates on Samsung's foldables, visit our Ultimate Guide.
