Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra might stop using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and switch to its own Exynos 2700. This possible change is important because it could affect how fast the phone runs, how hot it gets, and how much you pay for it.

According to the source, Samsung plans to use the Exynos 2700 to power all S27 models, including the Ultra, potentially replacing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor. The move would mark a shift from the long‑standing Snapdragon‑centric lineup for premium Galaxy phones.

Leaked benchmark data shows the Exynos 2700 scored about 13,000 points in Geekbench 6.5 multi‑core, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro reached roughly 11,000 points – an advantage of around 18%. In Geekbench 7.0 multi‑core testing the Exynos 2700 was reported to be about 15% higher than its Snapdragon rival.

Earlier Exynos chips were known for overheating, weak battery optimisation and throttling under heavy use. Those problems pushed many Samsung owners to choose Snapdragon‑powered phones.

Current rumours indicate Qualcomm’s upcoming premium processor could cost more than $300 per chip, whereas an in‑house Exynos could lower component costs and help keep the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s price reasonable. Lower chip costs would give Samsung more flexibility in pricing, even if final retail prices still depend on many factors.
