Galaxy S28 series may be the first to get a homegrown GPU inside Exynos 2800 by Samsung. News spreading across Korea suggests that the System LSI business has embarked on an epic journey and reach the destination by the end of 2027.

In an explosive revelation, Korea’s Hankyung (via Jukan) revealed that Samsung System LSI plans to bring its in-house GPU to the Exynos chipset; it is expected to be used in the Exynos 2800 and debut with the Galaxy S28 series.

Samsung has recently unveiled its first 2nm chipset, Exynos 2600. It’s all set to power the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus in select markets. This chipset features the Xclipse GPU, which Samsung developed using AMD’s architecture.

An in-house graphics chip has always been a dream of Samsung. The company is in partnership with AMD for mobile graphics processing units. However, it would go solo in 2027, and the outcome is likely in the Exynos 2800 chipset.

Beyond that, the South Korean tech giant dreams of offering its Exynos with an in-house GPU for on-device AI platforms, including smart glasses, infotainment systems for autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots.

An industry official noted, “To expand the on-device AI ecosystem, Samsung must ensure a timely supply of device-specific GPUs. Above all, there is a critical need for perfect ‘optimization’ with its own internal software.”

With this massive shift, Samsung will join the elite club of companies that use their own GPU in chipsets. At present, global chipmakers, including Nvidia, AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm, have their own proprietary architectures.

If Samsung takes control of mobile graphics through Exynos 2800, it will significantly improve the Galaxy experience. A chip optimized for Galaxy devices, featuring a GPU tailor-made for Exynos, will literally be a game changer.
