    • A prominent leaker has claimed that the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 is still in the works.
    • This chip is said to be cheaper than the TSMC-made version, which could be good news for Galaxy S26 pricing.
    • However, Samsung-made chips have historically lagged behind TSMC-manufactured variants.




    We’ve heard conflicting rumors that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor, expected to be used in the Galaxy S26 series, could be manufactured by both TSMC and Samsung. Now, a reliable leaker has reiterated this claim.

    Digital Chat Station on Weibo has claimed that the so-called SM8850s chipset hasn’t been canceled yet due to its cheaper price. Leakers previously used the SM8850s model number to refer to the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor. Meanwhile, the SM8850 part number refers to the standard (i.e., TSMC-made) processor.
