Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup generates buzz, particularly around its processor choices. Rumors suggest that Samsung might go all-in on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but new Geekbench listings for the Galaxy S25+ indicate otherwise. A recent benchmark reveals the device running on the Exynos 2500 SoC, sparking debate over whether Samsung will split its processor lineup across regions.
Galaxy S25+ Geekbench Highlights
The Samsung Galaxy S25+, identified by the model number SM-S936B, runs Android 15 and features 12GB of RAM. It achieved 2,358 points in single-core and 8,211 in multi-core Geekbench tests. This isn’t the first time this device appeared on Geekbench. A similar listing from early November showed nearly identical scores, strengthening the possibility of an Exynos-powered variant.
What Does This Mean for the Galaxy S25+?
Despite this new Geekbench appearance, the presence of an Exynos chip doesn’t confirm its inclusion in the final product. It’s possible someone reran the tests on the same model, leaving room for the possibility that all Galaxy S25 models could still feature Snapdragon 8 Elite processors. Without additional confirmations, Samsung fans and tech enthusiasts will need to wait for official updates.
Final Thoughts
The Galaxy S25+ Geekbench scores hint at Samsung’s continued development of the Exynos 2500 chip, but its role in the final lineup remains uncertain. With rumors of a global Snapdragon 8 Elite rollout still circulating, clarity on Samsung’s processor strategy will likely emerge closer to the launch date.
