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

A Samsung phone with the model number SM-S936B has been spotted on the Geekbench database, which is most likely a Galaxy S25+ prototype. As you can see from the listing, it managed to get a single-core score of 2359 and a multi-core score of 8141. The phone in question has 10.72GB of RAM. On paper it might be 12GB. The Samsung smartphone runs on Android 15.

Samsung Galaxy S25+ can run on Exynos 2500

Additionally, the listing suggests that the phone will be powered by a deca-core chipset with a motherboard codenamed “s5e9955”. The CPU has a 1+2+5+2 architecture and the listing shows a main CPU core clocked at 3.30GHz, two cores clocked at 2.75GHz and five cores clocked at 2.36GHz. Finally, the CPU also has two cores with a maximum frequency of 1.80 GHz. These CPU speeds are tied to the Exynos 2500 chipset.

Both the single-core and multi-core benchmarks show that the Exynos 2500 is significantly inferior to Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. A few months ago, the US variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC (SM-S938U) was listed on Geekbench with a score of 3069 in the single-core test and 9080 in the multi-core test.

There are speculations that Samsung will use Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC chipsets in the Galaxy S25 line. It offered the Galaxy S24 series with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC 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 worldwide.
