With the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is introducing various improvements, such as enhanced cameras, a quicker processor, and additional software functions. Additionally, it is bringing a much-needed upgrade to the Galaxy S25 base model. Instead of 8GB, the phone now has 12GB of RAM.
In the first half of next year, Samsung is anticipated to introduce its Galaxy S25 series. According to multiple rumours, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU will be included in every Galaxy S25 variant. Some evidence that the leaks might be accurate can be found in a recent Geekbench listing. With a Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU and 12GB of RAM, a supposed Korean version of the standard Galaxy S25 has appeared on the benchmarking website Geekbench. Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series could make use of the Snapdragon 8 Elite with overclocked GPU and CPU cores.
The Galaxy S25’s base model features 12GB of RAM, while the Ultra model can have up to 16GB.
The model was first noticed on a Samsung phone with model number SM-S931N on the Geekbench database. This phone is most likely the Korean version of the basic Galaxy S25. It has 12GB of RAM (10.97GB recognized), which is 50% more than the 8GB of RAM found on the Galaxy S24. Its Snapdragon processor, which has a clock speed of 4.47GHz and a base speed of 3.53GHz, suggests that the phone will come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset that has overclocked CPU scores. The OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15 employ the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, which runs at 4.32GHz.
This gives users adequate headroom. The Galaxy S25 ought to be sufficient for even users who multitask between numerous apps. According to reports, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have 12GB or 16GB of RAM, while the Galaxy S25+ will have 12GB.
The Galaxy S25 received 8,658 points in multi-core testing and 2,481 points in single-core testing, according to the listing. 10.75GB of RAM and the Android 15 operating system are recommended per the listing. On paper, this may equal 12GB.
The Operating System for the Galaxy S24 is Android 15 (probably One UI 7.0). It makes use of an octa-core Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which has six performance cores clocked at 2.53GHz and two high-performance cores clocked at 4.47GHz.
At first, it was thought that Samsung would use the Exynos 2500 chipsets in the Galaxy S25 series. The Galaxy S25+ with the Exynos SoC was even seen on Geekbench. However, a number of well-known leakers recently asserted that the Snapdragon silicon will be used in all Galaxy S25 models globally. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the US version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra was first seen on Geekbench.
In certain areas, including the US, the Galaxy S24 series this year included a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC processor; in other markets, the Exynos 2400 chip was used. Nevertheless, Snapdragon chipsets were the exclusive source of power for the whole 2023 Galaxy S23 series.
In the single-core CPU performance test, the phone received 2,48 points, while in the multi-core CPU performance test, it received 8,658 points. In single-core performance, that is around 15% faster, while in multi-core performance, it is about 30% faster.
It was previously anticipated that the Galaxy S25 would come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in certain areas and the Exynos 2500 chip in the majority of nations. But according to a recent report, Samsung has decided to employ only the Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU in all of the Galaxy S25 series phones.
Samsung reportedly had to switch to the Snapdragon chip because of the Exynos 2500’s extremely low yield (percentage of chips that meet quality standards).
