Upcoming Samsung foldables may come with a 2nm-based Snapdragon chipset

Samsung is preparing to launch its next foldable phones in the coming weeks. While there’s still some confusion about its chipset, a new report hints that Samsung may use a more efficient Snapdragon chipset for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8.

The chipset in question will probably be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 for Galaxy. This will be a 2nm-based chipset fabbed at Samsung Foundry. Notably, a TSMC-made version will also be available but it will be based on the 3nm fabrication.

Samsung foldables could be more efficient and powerful 

A more efficient chipset for Galaxy devices, including the upcoming foldables, may offer a competitive edge to Samsung. How? A 2nm chipset may offer more efficiency and being the 2nd generation of the Snapdragon 8 Elite may bring added performance.

While all that sounds great, it’s worth noting that the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 phones, which are set to launch in the coming weeks, will most likely pack a 3nm-based chipset. While some reports suggest the Exynos 2500, others hint at the existing Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Apart from this, Samsung is expected to bring a few upgrades to the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7. They may come with a more refined design, including minimal crease visibility. The foldables are also expected to get an improved camera system, especially the Z Fold 7.
