Samsung Galaxy S25+ spotted on Geekbench with Exynos chip

Samsung’s long-awaited Galaxy S25 series will be launched in the first half of 2025. Like the previous lineups, the upcoming Galaxy S family is expected to come with Vanilla, Plus, and Ultra models. While we wait for the official unveiling, the Galaxy S25+ variant has appeared on the Geekbench benchmark site with key details. Previous leaks have revealed that Samsung will offer Snapdragon processors for all Galaxy S25 phones worldwide.

It was a Samsung phone spotted in the Geekbench database with model number SM-S936B, which is most likely a Galaxy S25+ prototype. As seen in the listing, it managed a single-core score of 2,359 and a multi-core score of 8,141. The device in question has 10.72 GB of RAM. This could translate to 12 GB on paper. The Samsung device runs on Android 15.

Furthermore, the listing suggests that a ten-core chipset with a motherboard codenamed ‘s5e9955’ will power the phone. The CPU has a 1+2+5+2 architecture and the listing shows a top-of-the-line CPU core with a clock speed of 3.30 GHz, two cores with a maximum speed of 2.75 GHz and five cores with a clock speed of 2, 36GHz. Finally, the CPU also has two cores with a maximum speed of 1.80 GHz. These CPU speeds are tied to the Exynos 2500 chipset.

Both single-core and multi-core scores put the Exynos 2500 significantly behind Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. A few months ago, the American variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC (SM-S938U) was listed on Geekbench with 3,069 points in single-core tests and 9,080 points in multi-core tests.

It is speculated that Samsung will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC chipsets in the Galaxy S25 series. It offered the Galaxy S24 series with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC processor in select markets and an Exynos 2400 chip for the rest of the world. In 2023, the brand shipped all Galaxy S series phones with Snapdragon processors across the world.
