Samsung is reportedly developing its M2800 5G modem toward a 2nm process, while Qualcomm is evaluating Samsung Foundry’s 2nm process for future chips. Qualcomm’s reported status is evaluation, not an awarded production role.
On October 21, 2026, Semi Doped reported that Samsung was advancing the M2800 from the 4nm process used for its current external modems toward a 2nm target. The update also linked the modem work to a reported reorganization of Samsung’s 4nm capacity for HBM base dies, the components that connect high-bandwidth memory stacks to a processor.
That reported resource link offers context for Samsung’s modem development, but it does not describe a Qualcomm manufacturing award. The M2800 and Qualcomm’s separate evaluation are distinct developments.
