Recent reports suggested Samsung would use the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, seemingly abandoning their Exynos chips. However, a new leak has emerged on the Geekbench database, showing a prototype equipped with the Exynos 2500 SOC rather than the anticipated Snapdragon chip.
Here is more to it.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus SM-936B on Geekbench
The European prototype (SM-S936B) on Geekbench achieved a single-core score of 2358 and a multi-core score of 8211. According to the source code, the device appears to feature the Exynos 2500 SOC, paired with a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU and 10.71 GB of RAM. The prototype reveals a CPU configuration with four clusters: two cores clocked at 1.8 GHz, five cores at 2.36 GHz, two cores at 2.75 GHz, and one core at 3.3 GHz. The device will ship with Android 15, aligning with Samsung’s confirmation that OneUI 7, based on Android 15, will debut with the Galaxy S25 Series.
While the US variant of the Galaxy S25 Plus was previously spotted with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, rumours persist that Samsung will maintain the Snapdragon 8 Elite across all regions. However, with approximately 1.5 months remaining until the January 2025 launch, the final configuration remains uncertain.
