The Samsung Galaxy S25 Series continues to fuel speculation about its processor choice. Early reports suggested all models would feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. However, recent Geekbench listings revealed the Galaxy S25+ running on an Exynos 2500 chipset. Adding to the mystery, the standard Galaxy S25 was spotted on Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, reviving the “Snapdragon-only S25 Series” rumors.
The international variant of the Samsung Galaxy S25, recently spotted on Geekbench, carries the model number SM-S931B and runs on the latest Android 15. The listing shows 12GB RAM, with benchmark scores of 2,986 in single-core and 9,355 in multi-core tests. While some other smartphones have achieved higher scores, the retail units of the Galaxy S25 may deliver improved performance.
According to the report, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy features an 8-core setup, with two performance cores clocked at an impressive 4.47 GHz and six efficiency cores running at 3.35 GHz. As in previous models, Samsung is expected to use an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, branded as Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, offering a slight performance advantage over the standard processor.
The Galaxy S25 Series is expected to launch soon, with the base Galaxy S25 reportedly featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite in regions like India, Europe, and more. Are you planning to grab one if it indeed launches with the Snapdragon chipset as rumored? Let us know in the comments!
