Snip Snap: Galaxy Z Flip 7 Might Use Exynos In The US After All, Firmware Suggests

Well, here we are again. According to new firmware, reports regarding Samsung’s use of Snapdragon chips for the US variant of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may be incorrect.

Reports have been back and forth for months regarding what chip Samsung would use in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Some have said it would use Exynos globally. Others have said Snapdragon will still be used. Most recently, a report claimed that Samsung will use Exynos chips in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in many regions, including Korea, but that other regions, including the US, will use Snapdragon.

Now, new evidence suggests that is not the case.

SamMobile found evidence in Galaxy Z Flip 7 firmware that suggests the use of an Exynos chip. The publication didn’t share its findings beyond saying that “Galaxy Z Flip 7 firmware for the US makes it pretty clear that the processor inside the phone is the Exynos 2500.”

This isn’t exactly a smoking gun, but it certainly leaves the door open to Exynos in the States, something Samsung hasn’t done on a flagship-tier device in quite some time.

Whatever the case may be, firm details should be coming any time now, as we’re barely a month away from this launch.
