TL;DR
  • A Korean outlet reports that Samsung will use an in-house M2700 modem in some Galaxy S27 models.
  • This modem will apparently deliver better power efficiency and faster data speeds than the Exynos modem in some S26 models.
  • It’s believed that some Galaxy S28 models could get an M2800 modem that’s even more efficient than the S27 modem.

Samsung has long offered Exynos or Snapdragon chipsets in its flagship phones, with the former being paired with a Samsung modem. Now, a Korean publication has encouraging news if you’re worried about efficiency and data speeds on the Galaxy S27 series.

The Elec reports (h/t: SamMobile) that Samsung will use a so-called M2700 modem in the Galaxy S27 series. This will ostensibly be restricted to the Exynos variants. The outlet claims that this is an external modem built on a 4nm manufacturing process, much like the Exynos Modem 5410 (also known as the Shannon 5410) seen in some Galaxy S26 series models.
