Samsung has quietly launched its most powerful mobile processor yet — the Exynos 2500 — which is expected to power the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7, set to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9.
Built on Samsung’s advanced 3nm GAA process, the Exynos 2500 features a 10-core CPU, including a Cortex-X5 core clocked at 3.3GHz. It also includes Cortex-A725 for performance tasks and Cortex-A520 for efficiency. Graphics are handled by the Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, offering real-time hardware-based ray tracing for next-level mobile gaming.
AI capabilities have received a major boost. The new NPU delivers 59 TOPS — a 39% performance jump over the Exynos 2400 — enabling real-time language translation, smarter photography, and powerful on-device AI tasks like generative models.
For photography and video, the Exynos 2500 supports camera sensors up to 320MP and enables 8K video at 30fps and 4K video at 120fps with HDR. Users can also expect zero shutter lag with up to 108MP sensors or a dual-camera setup of 64MP + 32MP.

In terms of memory and speed, the chip supports LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, offering rapid data handling. Connectivity includes a built-in Exynos 5400 modem supporting both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, with download speeds up to 12.1Gbps, along with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB 3.2, and satellite communication for emergencies.
With its balance of performance, efficiency, and AI power, the Exynos 2500 seems tailor-made for Samsung’s upcoming foldables — especially the sleek and compact Galaxy Z Flip 7. While official details remain under wraps, leaks suggest we’ll see the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FE, and the Galaxy Watch 8 series at the July 9 event.
