TL;DR

A new leak suggests the rumored Galaxy S27 Pro will adopt Samsung’s dual-chip strategy, using an Exynos chip outside of the US.

The Exynos 2700 is expected to power the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, and S27 Pro globally, while the Galaxy S27 Ultra will remain exclusively Snapdragon-powered worldwide.

The Exynos 2700 will reportedly be a 2nm chip featuring a unique Side-by-Side package design for better heat dissipation.

Samsung’s rumored shake-up for next year’s Galaxy S27 flagship lineup is gaining traction, but the latest leak regarding its performance might give global buyers pause. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro, a new addition positioned to offer Ultra-level specifications without the S Pen baggage, could reportedly feature the unannounced Exynos 2700 processor in most markets outside of the US.

According to a report from South Korean publication Money Today (via Sammobile ), Samsung is actively looking to increase the share of its in-house silicon across its smartphone portfolio. As a result, the company has allegedly decided to deploy the Exynos 2700 globally for the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, and Galaxy S27 Pro, except in the US, where these phones are expected to retain a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Only the Galaxy S27 Ultra will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor in all regions, with no Exynos variation in the pipeline.
