This chip is based on Samsung’s 4nm process. The company has since moved on to its own 2nm process for the Exynos 2600 chip. This is still speculation; However, it would have been nice to see the rumors throw out the 2600 for the S26 FE.

Also, I should point out that phone prices are increasing due to RAM, so price will be another aspect to look at. The S25 FE starts at $649.
