Samsung Electronics expects its Exynos processors to gain market share.

Shin Seung-cheol, vice president of Samsung Electronics' System LSI Business under its Device Solutions (DS) division, said during the company's third-quarter earnings conference call on Oct. 29, "We have improved artificial intelligence (AI) and gaming performance in the Exynos 2700, and development and mass production are proceeding without disruption." He added, "We expect to further expand our market share by continuously strengthening our system-on-chip (SoC) competitiveness."

Exynos is an application processor (AP) that serves as the brain of smartphones and other mobile devices.

According to market research firm Counterpoint Research, Samsung Electronics held a 9% share of the global smartphone AP market by shipment volume in the second quarter of this year, up 2 percentage points from 7% in the previous quarter and 3 percentage points from a year earlier. The Exynos 2600, used in the Galaxy S26 series, drove the increase in shipments.

Production volume of the Exynos 2700, which recently entered mass production, has increased 10% compared with the previous generation. The chip has been confirmed for use in the new Pro model of the Galaxy S27 series, scheduled for release next year, in addition to the standard and Plus models for South Korea and Europe.

Samsung Electronics' System LSI Business has also secured a new customer for custom SoCs.

"We have secured a new project by establishing a business partnership with a new customer," Shin said. "We will continue to acquire new customers and expand our growth foundation by leveraging our strengths as a comprehensive solutions provider offering everything from design and foundry services to memory and packaging."
