Samsung is preparing new technology for its future smartphones, starting with the Galaxy S26 series. The company has introduced a new 5G modem, the Exynos Modem 5410. This modem is expected to work with Samsung’s latest processor, the Exynos 2600.

The Exynos 2600 is the world’s first smartphone chip made using a 2nm process. This chip differs from earlier Exynos processors in that it does not include a built-in modem. To handle mobile networks, Samsung has designed a separate modem instead.

That separate modem is the Exynos Modem 5410. It is built using Samsung’s 4nm FinFET process, which helps improve power efficiency. This means smartphones using it may consume less battery while staying connected. The modem supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G networks.

Samsung says Exynos Modem 5410 can deliver peak download speeds of up to 14.79Gbps. It also supports older network standards such as 2G, 3G, and 4G. This ensures reliable connectivity in many regions around the world.

The biggest upgrade in this modem is satellite connectivity. The Exynos Modem 5410 supports three satellite communication technologies – LTE Direct-to-Cell, NB-IoT NTN, and NR-NTN. The previous modem supported only two of these options.

With LTE DTC support, phones can connect directly to satellites. This allows users to make voice and video calls, send messages, and share locations without using regular mobile networks. This feature can be very useful in remote areas or during emergencies.

The modem includes a Root of Trust system and advanced encryption technology. It can protect sensitive information from misuse. Samsung is expected to pair the Exynos Modem 5410 with the Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ in selected markets. Stay tuned for more information.
