Has Galaxy S27's Exynos chip already appeared ahead of Galaxy S26 launch?

An unannounced Exynos chip from Samsung has surfaced online. Based on its model number, the chip could be intended for the Galaxy S27 series, which is expected to launch early next year. This seems unusually early, especially since Samsung has not even officially announced the Galaxy S26 lineup yet.

A device powered by a chip with the model number S5E9975 has appeared in Geekbench’s database. Going by the naming pattern of previous Exynos processors, this chip could be called the Exynos 2700. As per this listing, it has a 10-core CPU configuration, which is similar to the Exynos 2600.

One prime core is clocked at 2.78GHz, four cores run at 2.88GHz, another four cores operate at 2.4GHz, and one core is clocked at 2.3GHz. The chip also appears to feature the Xclipse 970 GPU. The benchmarked device is using the Exynos 2700 paired with 12GB of RAM and running Android 16.

It scored 15,618 points in Geekbench 6’s OpenCL test, which is surprisingly low. For comparison, the Exynos 2600 has crossed 25,000 points in the same benchmark. This suggests that the listing could be spoofed or that Samsung is still in the very early stages of testing the chip.

According to previous reports, the Exynos 2700 is expected to be manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s second-generation 2nm process, known as SF2P. Samsung could also use its Heat Path Block (HPB) solution to improve cooling for both the processor and the DRAM. It could help the Galaxy S27 maintain better performance under sustained workloads.

As always, it is best to treat this information with a grain of salt until Samsung makes an official announcement.
