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