According to a report from ChosunBiz, sourced from industry insiders, Samsung’s System LSI and MX divisions are negotiating a US$20 discount on the Exynos 2600. This move could make the Exynos‑equipped S26 line more appealing to price‑sensitive buyers and help Samsung stay competitive against rivals using Snapdragon chips.
While the exact timing of the price adjustment remains unclear, a reduced cost for the Exynos variant could be a key factor for consumers in regions where Samsung traditionally favors its own silicon. Stay tuned for further updates as Samsung finalizes the specifications and pricing of its upcoming flagship lineup.
