The Exynos 2400 was always a decent performer, and perhaps the only reason that it received some flak was that it was going against Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which was always going to be a losing battle for Samsung’s previous-generation flagship chipset. Then again, the Korean giant saw some use for its SoC, as it heavily reduced the company’s components expenditure, and according to the latest benchmark leak, it appears that Samsung will revisit this strategy once again, as the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could be the recipient of the Exynos 2400.
Other cost-saving measures include shipping with 8GB RAM, with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE shown to be Samsung’s least powerful foldable of this generation
The obvious question that one would ask is why Samsung does not wish to use the upcoming Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE? After all, there have been reports stating that the company had kicked off mass production in February earlier this year. Unfortunately, it appears that the Exynos 2500 might only be reserved for the more premium Galaxy Z Flip 7, and though it will be available in fewer quantities, Samsung likely wants to keep the Snapdragon 8 Elite exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to increase its appeal and lower its yearly chipset expenditure.
Coming to the Geekbench 6 benchmark leak, Abhishek Yadav spotted that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is powered by the Exynos 2400, with the CPU cluster revealing a 10-core ‘1 + 2 + 3 + 4’ configuration. The unique model number is SM-F761N, with the Exynos 2400 obtaining a single-core and multi-core score of 1,930 and 6,276, respectively. While using Samsung’s older chipset is an indication that the company wants to offer this clamshell foldable at a lower price, the manufacturer has made trade-offs in other specifications, such as the memory, with the Geekbench 6 listing showing a paltry 8GB RAM.

From a business perspective, Samsung has the right approach in mind when it comes to offering a less expensive foldable, but we cannot comment whether this specification downgrade will translate into better sales after the launch. Assuming the company wants to make this an annual affair, it must ensure that its own chipset sector does a better job in introducing products that do not flaunt flagship-level performance, but at least provide some decent competition.
