New Delhi: Samsung’s upcoming latest processor, the Exynos 2500 chipset, is officially confirmed to support satellite connectivity for emergency messaging. The confirmation came through a press release from Skylo, a United States-based non-terrestrial network provider. This feature enables users to send SOS messages when they’re outside cellular coverage, which is especially useful in remote areas or during natural disasters.
Skylo’s statement also confirmed that the chipset is certified on the 3GPP NTN standard, a global telecom benchmark that supports communication through satellites and airborne platforms. Samsung’s implementation of satellite messaging will use the Exynos 5400 5G modem, the similar modem that powered the previous generation Exynos 2400.
Samsung Electronics VP Hui Won Je stated that the Exynos 2500 will offerater energy efficiency and higher performance than its predecessor. Built on Samsung’s 3nm fabrication process, this SoC represents a major leap in both modem capabilities and processing power.
This chip is expected to offers an 10-core CPU, with a maximum clock speed of 3.3 GHz, alongside the Xclipse 950 GPU backed by a 16 MB L3 cache. These improvements promises an smoother and more powerful experience for users, especially in high-performance or gaming scenarios.
This Exynos 2500 was originally planned for the Galaxy S25 Series, but due to yield issues, it might now debut with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, as per the multiple reports. Samsung appears to be shifting its Exynos strategy and may even expand the chipset’s availability to more global markets, including the United States, rather than limiting it to select regions as in the past. A leak from the SamMobile further supports this, suggesting the chip’s use in mainstream Samsung phones globally.
Samsung might gears up for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 launch, the addition the satellite messaging and other hardware upgrades through the Exynos 2500 SoC is expected to raise the bar for the foldable smartphones.
