In the next July Galaxy Unpacked three folding mobiles, two being a Z Flip 7 and with one a “fan edition”, which leaked this same month how their cameras would be. If Samsung hopes to release a new folding mobile, his idea would also go through the premiere for the first time of a chip manufactured at home, the exynos 2500, in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 And thus follow Google in his Pixel with his own tensioning chips.
Until now the Korean company had always used a Qualcomm chip for its shell folding mobiles, but everything could change for the galaxy z Flip 7 that would be launched in July for accompany the galaxy z fold 7 and the z flip 7 faith. Just a year in which Snapdragon 8 Elite has made it clear that energy management works very well without forgetting excellent performance.
It is just the report that arrives from South Korea that indicates that finally the chip that would be used would be the exynos 2500 Upon entering the mass production phase from June. It would be the first time that a Samsung folding mobile would use an exynos chip designed at home to inspire Google’s own folding that uses a G4 tensor designed at home on Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
It is not the first time that a rumor or news has appeared related to this possibility, and last year it was dropped that the Exynos 2500 chip could even appear in the Galaxy S25 series. In the end it was not so and the next step would be folding, although due to the great performance that Snapdragon 8 Elite is giving, the decision seemed to opt for this chip for Samsung folding.
A Korean medium has reported that Samsung has already made the decision for one of its folding mobiles and without knowing what the chosen chip would be for the Galaxy Z Fold 7; A mobile that does require the best performance, so the piece of the puzzle that would be missing would be for the Snapdragon 8 elite that in the Ultra Galaxy S25 is able to bring the user to the user’s two days of autonomy.

Finally use the exynos chip is due to several reasons and there are two that have their weight according to Sammobile. One that, although it does not exceed 60 % estimated yield to enter mass production, being between 20 % and 40 %, would be more than enough for the Z Flip 7. And the second: it is a folding mobile than It is sold in much lower volumes that the Galaxy S. series
There is another reason according to analysts, and it would be a movement by Samsung to be able to negotiate better with Qualcommthat year after year the prices of its chips raise, which entails a lower margin of benefits per unit sold. Also, mass production of its exyn 2500 chip based on 3NM will help Samsung gain experience that can improve its 2NM node process to stay competitive over time.

A setback for this folding mobile, since one of its worst experiences is autonomy, so we will have to wait to try it with this chip to know if Samsung has been able to improve the autonomy of the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
