The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will use an exyn 2500 due to the high price of Snapdragon 8 Elite
Samsung will use its own SOC exynos 2500 In the next folding smartphone Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 instead of the Snapdragon 8 elite of Qualcomm with which it was expected to reach the market.
According to the last rumors, the reason would be none other than The high economic cost of Qualcomm processorseven if one takes into account that the 3 nanometers manufacturing process of Samsung still does not get too high of viable chips by wafers (Yield), with figures that are around only 20 ~ 40% of manufacturing performance (the usual thing is that Samsung starts the production of chips when you get a Yield of 60% or more).
With such a low yield, the final cost of manufacturing each Exynos 2500 It will be higher than usual, but it would still be below the price that Qualcomm charges to the Koreans for their Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Precisely, the Bass Yield of the Samsung 3NM process will be one of the reasons why the production of the next folding smartphone of the company will depend on the manufacturing capacity of these processors, with an initial stock of only 200,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
