Following the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, selected tech aficionados have started testing the new devices, including the intriguing Exynos 2600 chipset that powers the base models in certain markets. This chip has sparked considerable interest, especially in light of its anticipated competition with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
In an exciting development, a popular tech YouTube channel has published definitive performance analysis showcasing the thermal efficiency of the Exynos 2600, revealing promising results for users.
Samsung Tackles Thermal Challenges with the Exynos 2600 Chip
Long Ngong of Vật Vờ Studio recently put both the Galaxy S26 and S26+ to the test using benchmarks such as AnTuTu, 3DMark, and CPU Throttling to evaluate their performance under stress.
This is the absolute power of HPB in the Exynos 2600 — notice how those infamous “heat bubbles” around the CPU area are gone. The thermal bottleneck of high-performance SoCs has been solved. A new era is coming lol pic.twitter.com/lYK8J5iXuA

To specifically assess the thermal performance of the Exynos 2600, Ngong engaged in a series of gaming sessions, playing League of Legends: Wild Rift, Genshin Impact, and Honkai, all at maximum graphics settings. The tests were conducted in controlled conditions at an ambient temperature of around 26°C.
During gameplay with League of Legends, the Galaxy S26 maintained an average temperature of around 32°C. In a 15-minute session of Genshin Impact on the Galaxy S26+, the maximum front temperature hit approximately 38°C, while the back fluctuated between 37°C and 37.5°C. When playing Honkai on the S26+, although some frame rate drops were observed, the front of the device reached a peak of just 39°C, while the back recorded temperatures slightly above 38°C.
This marks a significant shift for Samsung users who have previously experienced issues with overheating in older Exynos models.
Key Innovations in the Exynos 2600
The advancements in the Exynos 2600’s thermal management can be attributed to three major innovations:
- 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) Technology: This architecture represents a leap forward, allowing for enhanced electrostatic control by enclosing the channel with nanosheets on all sides, resulting in reduced voltage thresholds and increased efficiency.
- Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP): This new packaging technique eliminates conventional substrate-based approaches, enabling a more compact design that integrates terminals directly onto the silicon wafer.
- Heat Path Block (HPB) Technology: This innovative cooling solution employs a copper heat sink that directly interacts with the application processor (AP), relocating the DRAM to minimize thermal resistance by up to 30%.
These technological breakthroughs position the Exynos 2600 as a formidable contender in the competitive smartphone market, potentially marking the beginning of a new era for Samsung’s chip technology.
