TL;DR Details have emerged regarding the Exynos 2800 chipset, which is expected to power some Galaxy S28 models.
Samsung will apparently stick with an improved 2nm process to improve yields, instead of switching to a 1.4nm process
This comes after last year’s Exynos 2500 suffered from significant yield issues, limiting its adoption to the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus are powered by the Exynos 2600 in some regions. This comes a year after the Galaxy S25 phones were exclusively powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. Now, we’ve got some apparent details regarding the Exynos chip that could power the Galaxy S28 series.
ZDNet Korea reports that Samsung will complete the Exynos 2800’s design before the end of the year. The new chip is said to be codenamed Vanguard, and it sounds like the company is taking a steady approach with this silicon.

The outlet reports that the Exynos 2800 was originally going to be produced on a 1.4nm manufacturing process. However, Samsung decided to use a 2nm process dubbed SF2P Plus. This apparently improves upon the second-generation SF2P process, which could be used for the Exynos 2700. For what it’s worth, the Exynos 2600 is produced on a first-generation 2nm process called SF2.
The SF2P process reportedly offers 12% better performance versus the SF2 process. Furthermore, it’s said to offer 25% lower power consumption and an 8% smaller area. Meanwhile, the SF2P Plus process purportedly uses “Optic Shrink” technology to improve performance and efficiency while reducing the chip area. There’s no word on these exact gains, though.
