To find the processor in your Samsung Galaxy, open Settings → About phone and copy the full model number. Match that exact model—and, when relevant, its country or carrier variant—to a reliable specification listing. The Galaxy family name alone may not identify the chip, because processor configurations can vary by market or carrier.
Find your Galaxy’s model number in Settings
-
Open Settings.
-
Tap About phone. The screen layout and labels can vary by phone model, software version, and wireless provider, as Samsung notes in its guide to finding a Galaxy device’s identifiers.

Use the model number to look up the phone’s processor in Samsung support or specification information, or in Samsung Semiconductor’s Exynos device showcase. Check that the listing matches the full model number and, where specified, the same region or carrier. If a page names only the Galaxy family and not the variant, it does not confirm the processor in your particular phone.

Why the exact model matters
A Galaxy model name is the consumer-facing family name; its model number identifies a more specific product or variant. Chip configurations can differ within a family. Samsung’s Exynos showcase, for example, lists Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ entries with Exynos 2400 and cautions that Exynos-equipped device availability may vary by country or wireless carrier. That example is not a universal rule for assigning chips to every Galaxy generation or region.
Samsung’s Android 14 device validation report also records chipset or SoC by device model. It is a model-specific validation document, not a complete catalogue of every current Galaxy phone.

Use CPU-Z for an optional on-device readout
If you prefer not to look up the model number first, CPUID’s CPU-Z for Android says its app reports the SoC name, architecture, and clock speeds for each core. Open the app and inspect its SoC information. This is an optional convenience; you do not need an app to identify the processor.

Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
If the app’s result conflicts with a specification listing, recheck the full model number and make sure the listing covers the same regional or carrier variant. Treat a family-level listing as insufficient confirmation.

What “processor” means on a Galaxy phone
In everyday use, “processor,” “chip,” and “chipset” usually refer to the phone’s main mobile silicon, more precisely its SoC (system-on-chip). Samsung Semiconductor explains that an Exynos mobile processor integrates the CPU with components such as the GPU, image processor, neural processing unit, and modem. So the SoC name is not just a CPU speed or core count, and it is distinct from the Android version.
