Samsung Galaxy S25 spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC
Samsung is expected to unveil its Galaxy S25 series in the first half of next year. Several reports claim that all models in the Galaxy S25 series will feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. A new Geekbench listing offers some evidence that the leakers could be right. An alleged Korean variant of the vanilla Galaxy S25 has surfaced on benchmarking site Geekbench with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12 GB of RAM. Samsung could use the Snapdragon 8 Elite with overclocked GPU and CPU cores in the flagship Galaxy S series.
First spotted from Jukanlosreve (@Jukanlosreve), a Samsung handset with model number SM-S931N appeared on the Geekbench database, which is most likely the Korean model of the standard Galaxy S25. It has a Snapdragon chipset under the hood with a clock speed of 4.47 GHz and a base speed of 3.53 GHz, which indicates that the device will come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset with overclocked CPU scores. The regular Snapdragon 8 Elite chip used in the OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15 has a clock speed of 4.32 GHz.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 could pack 12GB of RAM
According to the listing, the Galaxy S25 scored 2,481 points in single-core tests and 8,658 in multi-core tests. The listing suggests an Android 15 operating system and 10.75 GB of RAM. This could translate to 12 GB on paper.
Initially, it was speculated that Samsung would use the Exynos 2500 chipsets in the Galaxy S25 series and we even saw the Galaxy S25+ on Geekbench with the Exynos SoC. However, several prominent tipsters recently claimed that all Galaxy S25 models worldwide will use the Snapdragon silicon. The American variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra previously appeared with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC on Geekbench.
This year’s Galaxy S24 series came with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC processor in select markets, including the US, and an Exynos 2400 chip for the rest of the world. However, all 2023 Galaxy S23 series were powered exclusively by Snapdragon chipsets.
