According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung Electronics' Exynos application processors reached a 9% share of the global smartphone AP market in the second quarter. This figure marks the highest level recorded by the firm since it began tracking this data in 2024.
The company's market share grew by 2 percentage points compared to the previous quarter and increased by 3 percentage points year-over-year. This growth is primarily attributed to higher shipment volumes of Exynos chips for both high-end and mid-range smartphone models.
The flagship Exynos 2600 chip, featured in the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, drove the company's performance in the premium segment. Meanwhile, the mid-range market was supported by Exynos chips integrated into the Galaxy A57 and A37 devices.
MediaTek continues to lead the global market with a 31% share, driven by its Dimensity and Helio chipsets. Qualcomm follows in second place with a 23% market share for its Snapdragon line, while Apple holds the third position with 19% for its A-series chips.
