• A new report has confirmed that Samsung will continue to rely on Qualcomm for its next Ultra smartphone.


• The Galaxy S26 Ultra is confirmed to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, based on evidence found in the device’s firmware.


• This does not rule out the existence of an S26 Ultra powered by an Exynos 2600 or a Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, despite lean chances of any of that happening.

Phone brands these days don’t do a very good job of containing confidential information about upcoming devices. Samsung isn’t immune to this problem either, and many tidbits of its yet-to-release Galaxy S26 series are already public knowledge. Earlier today, we learned about internal codenames for the upcoming Galaxy S26 devices that indicate the likelihood of a lineup rejig.? Now, a new leak has confirmed the chipset (or at least, one of the chipsets) that will power the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Folks at SamMobile claim to have gotten access to the One UI firmware that will come preinstalled on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. From the firmware file, the team has deciphered the presence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset at the helm. This chipset is most likely a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, as suggested by the mentions of “qcom” and “PMK8850” in the source code.
