Samsung Galaxy S25 Surfaces on Geekbench With Powerful Specs
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series, expected to launch in the first half of next year, has made waves in the tech community with a recent Geekbench listing. This listing suggests a shift in Samsung’s chipset strategy for its flagship series.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset
The Geekbench database has unveiled a Samsung device, believed to be the Korean variant of the Galaxy S25 (model number SM-S931N). This device is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, boasting clock speeds of 4.47GHz for its CPU cores and 3.53GHz for its base speed. Notably, this is an overclocked version, likely optimized specifically for Galaxy devices. The standard version of this chipset, seen in competitors like the OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15, operates at slightly lower speeds.
Impressive Benchmark Scores
The Geekbench results reveal the Galaxy S25 achieved:
- 2,481 points in single-core testing.
- 8,658 points in multi-core testing.
These figures highlight the device’s flagship performance. Additionally, the handset appears to run Android 15 and features 10.75GB of RAM, likely marketed as 12GB of RAM.
Abandoning Exynos for Snapdragon?
While initial rumors suggested the use of Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chips, recent reports point to a complete reliance on Snapdragon silicon for all Galaxy S25 models. This aligns with the U.S. variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which was spotted earlier with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Samsung’s Chipset History
Samsung’s approach to chipset distribution has varied:
- The Galaxy S23 series relied exclusively on Snapdragon chipsets.
- The Galaxy S24 series combined Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processors in select markets with Exynos 2400 chips elsewhere.
The shift to a unified Snapdragon platform for the S25 series could mark a strategic move to deliver consistent performance globally.
What to Expect
With 12GB of RAM, overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite processors, and Android 15, the Galaxy S25 promises to be one of Samsung’s most powerful devices yet. As the international launch approaches, more details about features and configurations are expected to surface.
Stay tuned for Samsung’s official announcement, expected in early 2024, as the company continues to set benchmarks in flagship innovation.
