Samsung has seen a smoother development with its Exynos 2600 chip than it did with the 2500, according to a new report. Prior to the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25, rumors suggested the phone could use the Exynos 2500 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and leaks provided a lot of conflicting information. Now, a report from a Korean news outlet says the company has already achieved a 30% yield from its manufacturing process.

The company is using a 2 nanometer production process, and it's initial yields were higher than expected according to The Bell. Samsung plans to start mass production of this chip in the second half of the year and say it could improve performance by 12% and power efficiency by 25%.

Take for example the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which upgrades to a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor, a new Spatio Temporal filter for blur reduction, 8K capture across all lenses, default 10-bit HDR recording, and more. But the company silently gave a massive boost to filters.

So far, users have only been able to pick a filter and capture media with the effect applied on top. There was no scope for fine-tuning the filter characteristics in real time. That limitation has finally gone to the grave with the Galaxy S25 series.

Counterpoint Research just released its latest Global Handset Model Sales Tracker report covering phones sold worldwide between January and November last year, showcasing Apple’s user dominance at the top despite the iPhone’s premium sticker price.

The iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro took the top three spots in the same order. The fifth, eighth, and ninth positions were grabbed by the iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 14, and iPhone 16 Pro, respectively. The only other premium phone in the list came from Samsung, marking a crucial milestone for the company’s flagship Galaxy S line.
