Despite the Exynos 2700's rumored performance prowess, almost six in 10 of you still think Snapdragon is the better choice.
Snapdragon all the way

Out of 930 voters, a staggering 58.82% want Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 for the Galaxy S27 Ultra. I have to say this result is as understandable as it's surprising.
But then there's the pricing problem. Adding the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 may lead to a significant price increase. The Galaxy S26 Ultra already starts at $1,399.99, so if the upcoming flagship comes at an even higher price, we may be looking at a high-end Samsung phone that's too expensive for some users to buy.

Exynos or Snapdragon: which chipset would you prefer in the S27 Ultra?
Some of you want Exynos, though
But then comes the plot twist. For 30.97% of you, Exynos is the better option. Although you probably have different reasons for wanting Samsung's in-house silicon inside the Galaxy S27 Ultra, one thing is clear: not everyone is willing to dismiss Exynos right off the bat.
If Exynos indeed ends up being more powerful than Snapdragon, I can see why you'd want to try out an Exynos-powered S27 Ultra. There's also the chance that including Samsung's own processor inside the Galaxy S27 lineup would help the South Korean tech giant keep prices relatively unchanged.
And while there are still a ton of uncertainties, I for one think it may not be the worst thing to have an Exynos-powered Galaxy S27 Ultra.
The MediaTek minority

Finally, just 10.22% of respondents think a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity chip would be a good fit. Frankly, I see the point.
For several generations now, Samsung has been using flagship MediaTek chips in its high-end Galaxy Tab S models, showing that MediaTek processors can hold their own against the competition quite well.
With that in mind, considering MediaTek for the Galaxy S27 Ultra may not be all that far-fetched. And yet, I really don't see Samsung going in this direction with its most premium non-foldable phone.
I'm liking the suspense, not the possible price increase

Honestly, I'm starting to really like all the suspense surrounding the Galaxy S27 Ultra and the upgrades it might (or may not) get. While some models from the series (ahem, the S27) are becoming increasingly disappointing in my eyes due to the rumored lack of major upgrades, I'm genuinely curious to see what Samsung will come up with to make the Galaxy S27 Ultra a top-tier beast once again.
As for the processor, on the one hand, I'm seriously leaning toward Snapdragon. Samsung and Qualcomm have been working hand in hand for years, delivering impressive performance as well as advanced AI capabilities.
But if this move results in a $100+ price hike, I'm no longer convinced. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd be OK with Snapdragon only if it doesn't drive up the price. Because if it does, why not just give Exynos a try for a change?
