The Geekbench listing reveals two CPU clusters: 2 cores at 4.74GHz and 6 cores at 3.63GHz, with the Adreno 840 GPU—confirming the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. The device scored 3710 on single-core and 11284 on multi-core, runs Android 16, and has around 11GB of RAM (likely marketed as 12GB).

We had already revealed via the FCC that both the US and global (including South Korean) variants of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This Geekbench listing reaffirms that.

So far, only the South Korean Galaxy S26 and S26+ have surfaced on Geekbench, revealing the Exynos 2600. However, the S26 and S26+ US variants are expected to come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Meanwhile, rumors suggest that the global S26 and S26+ will also feature the Exynos 2600, though they haven’t appeared on Geekbench yet.

The S26 Ultra is rumored to feature 60W fast wired charging, making it the fastest in the series. Color options were revealed through leaked SIM tray images, showing black, white, blue, and purple—with the possibility of more to come.
