Samsung made a bold move by utilizing its Exynos 2500 chipset in the latest Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable phone. This strategic decision allowed Samsung to keep the price of the Flip 7 consistent with its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, unlike the significant price increase seen in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 due to the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Additionally, Samsung introduced a more budget-friendly foldable line with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE this year. The choice to stick with Exynos instead of Snapdragon has sparked an interesting debate among consumers. Galaxy S25 phones were initially planned to incorporate Exynos chipsets but had to switch to Snapdragon due to yield issues. However, there is speculation that Exynos could make a comeback with the upcoming Galaxy S26 phones next year, potentially leading to competitive pricing surprises.
