Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Processor: Firmware Reveals SD 8 Elite Gen 2
A recent firmware file for the Galaxy S26 Ultra Mmentioned the code “PMK8850.” For context, the Galaxy S25 Ultra used the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, labeled SM8750. The jump to PMK8850 strongly hints at the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2.
Here’s what the leak tells us:
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (likely the “for Galaxy” edition)
- Performance Boost: Expected up to 25% faster than last year’s model
- CPU Speeds: Rumored clock speeds up to 4.74GHz
- Possible 2nm Variant: Some reports suggest Samsung could fabricate a custom version
The firmware discovery also confirms that the phone will run on Android 16 with One UI 8.5 out of the box, packing newer AI tools and system-level enhancements.
What About the Other Galaxy S26 Models?
While the S26 Ultra seems set to go all-in on Snapdragon, it’s unclear if Samsung will use the same chip for the other models of S26 lineup.
- Some leaks suggest those models might feature Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip.
- A new heat management system is rumored for the Exynos chip to improve stability and performance.
This could mean Samsung continues its split-chip strategy, keeping Snapdragon exclusive for the Ultra series.
