Most of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Models Expected To Be Powered by Exynos 2600

  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...

    Prior to "upgrading" to marshmallow, I was able to mirror my screen to my screen beam mini 2. Since getting marshmallow I can only mirror my screen to newer Samsung TVs. It's definitely a Verizon issue from what I've read. Apparently there is a fix but the phone needs to be rooted, Verizon does not like rooting so they keep putting out "security fixes" to prevent people from rooting. DON'T UPGRADE, ROOT AS SOON AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE! The upgrades have made my phone less useful than when I bought it. This should be illegal!
