Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphones are popular largely due to the high performance and energy efficiency provided by the proprietary Exynos 2400 chip. Now the South Korean company has announced that the next-generation Exynos 2500 chip will be the basis of the smartphone of the “American client” in the second half of the year. Industry experts believe that this client will be Google, and we are talking about the future Pixel smartphones.

Earlier this month, media outlets reported that Samsung had made significant progress in debugging the 3-nm process technology used to manufacture Exynos 2500 chips. However, at the moment, the defect rate exceeds 80%, and for effective mass production it is necessary to have less than 40% defects. Despite this, during the recent Samsung Foundry Forum, the South Korean company assured stakeholders that debugging of the 3-nm process technology is proceeding in full accordance with the original plan.
Samsung wants to start mass production of Exynos 2500 chips in the second half of this year. The company’s new processor is expected to be the basis for the upcoming Galaxy S25 flagship smartphones. As for the partnership with Google, Samsung has long been cooperating with the American company within the Android ecosystem. If the future Pixel smartphones are indeed equipped with Exynos 2500 chips, it will mean a deepening of the partnership for the two companies and a demonstration of mutual trust in Samsung technology.
As the smartphone market remains fiercely competitive, Samsung’s efforts to improve its Exynos chips are part of a larger strategy to maintain a competitive advantage. Consumers expect each new generation of chips to be more powerful and energy efficient, so Samsung’s work to improve its processors for backgrounds is an important focus.
