The speculation has been widespread. Some suggest that the Exynos 2600 application processor (AP), produced by Samsung Foundry using its 2nm GAA technology, will be the driving force behind the majority of the Samsung Galaxy S26 models, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra in certain regions. Previously, Samsung Foundry encountered challenges with the yield of its 3nm production, resulting in a shortage of Exynos 2500 APs for the Galaxy S25 series. The standard Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models are all equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. This marks a shift from previous models, such as the Galaxy S24 series, which used both Snapdragon and Samsung's own Exynos chipsets, depending on the region. While during Qualcomm's recent earnings call following the release of its fiscal Q4 earnings, the company said that it expected its new Snapdragon chip to be found in 75 percent of the Galaxy S26 handsets. Qualcomm said that it used to expect to get 50 pe...
If you are one among Samsung Galaxy S3 users that were familiar and heard about the Exynos Memory Bug that has been reported a while ago affecting Galaxy S3 devices, then you must probably aware on how to fix it. Samsung already responded about this issue, and now they already launch a new software update for Samsung Galaxy S3. This might be also release soon to all Exynos based devices such as Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note and etc.
The software update now rolls out initially available in United Kingdom with firmware build I9300XXELLA. This update reportedly targets to fix the said Exynos Bug problem. Other countries might probably follow soon. Galaxy S3 users, can get this update via Samsung Kies or OTA (over the air) method. You can also mnaully install using the I9300XXELLA stock ROM and flash it thru Odin, here at androidromupdate.com.
Thus, users who installed any custom ROMs can now also update to this build to avoid risk of any data exploit of such devices.

The problem actually occurs due to the fact that Samsung wanted the camera and maybe other unknown bundled applications to directly access the memory. What the Samsung developers did here is, instead of writing code to properly control access for this functionality, they gave everyone permission to read and write data to the file. This particular mistake invalidates almost every security function ever present in the Android platform. It would enable anyone to possibly access sensitive data like passwords and even credit card information which are stored in the physical memory. What’s more, it even allows kernel code injection, so that anyone with evil intentions could design an app to take advantage of this and control the device in a manner which is completely transparent even to the kernel. This could be dangerous and even fatal for the security of such devices, unless a fix is released soon.
