The Galaxy S25 sequence will most likely be unveiled in mid-January, identical to its predecessor. However we don’t have to attend that lengthy to search out out key particulars concerning the upcoming Samsung flagship cellphone sequence. A leaked benchmark take a look at for the Galaxy S25 Extremely is already making the rounds, teasing huge efficiency good points for the upcoming handset.
The Galaxy S25 telephones ought to function Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which was introduced just a few weeks in the past. The SoC will compete in opposition to Apple’s A18 Professional chipset that powers the iPhone 16 Professional telephones. If this leaked benchmark is real, it seems just like the Snapdragon 8 Elite is getting awfully near matching Apple’s latest smartphone chip.
The leaked Galaxy S25 Extremely Geekbench 6 benchmark take a look at could be very latest, having been carried out earlier this week. The cellphone scored 3,148 in single-core checks and 10,236 in multi-core checks.

These are early benchmark checks that most likely come from Samsung’s improvement groups. With lower than three months till the cellphone’s launch, Samsung should be within the remaining phases of improvement, particularly on the software program facet.
The benchmark does say the cellphone runs Android 15, Google’s latest working system. No Samsung cellphone will get Android 15 till the Galaxy S25 sequence comes out. Samsung is growing the One UI 7 software program that runs atop of Android 15.
Seeing benchmark checks emerge at this stage is sensible, as does seeing efficiency variances between checks. For instance, a distinct take a look at carried out on Tuesday exhibits the identical cellphone hitting 2,346 and 9,456 factors in the identical checks. Outcomes from late September present the Galaxy S25 Extremely going as little as the mid-1,400s in single-core checks.
Nonetheless, that 3,148 result’s a possible indicator of the kind of efficiency the cellphone would possibly provide. We’re taking a look at good points of over 35% in comparison with the Galaxy S24 Extremely in single-core checks. This yr’s Extremely scores nearly 2,300 factors in single-core checks and over 6,400 in multi-core checks.

The iPhone 16 Professional Max tops 3,400 in single-core, reaching nearly 8,500 factors in multi-core checks.
Whereas the iPhone 16 Professional Max obliterated the Galaxy S24 Extremely in Geekbench 6 benchmark testing, the 2 telephones had been shut in real-life pace checks. The Galaxy S24 Extremely nearly matched the iPhone 16 Professional Max in that efficiency comparability.
What I’m getting at is that the Snapdragon 8 Elite must be even higher than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Regardless if it closes the hole with the A18 Professional in pace checks, as this leaked benchmark signifies, it must be extremely quick in these real-life pace checks.
Lastly, there’s one other improvement for the Galaxy S25 sequence that may upset some patrons. Opposite to experiences that all Galaxy S25 flavors will function the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a leaked benchmark for the Galaxy S25 Plus exhibits the cellphone packing a Samsung chip, possible the Exynos 2500. That cellphone scored 2,359 and eight,141 in benchmarks.
There’s an enormous efficiency distinction between the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Exynos 2500, a minimum of in these checks. If Samsung makes use of its chips within the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, it’ll most likely occur just for sure worldwide variations. However we’ll cross that bridge after we get there.
In the meantime, these early benchmarks reveal that the Galaxy S25 Extremely and S25 Plus will function 12GB of RAM.
