Samsung launched the Galaxy A56 just a few months ago with an Exynos 1580 SoC and Android 15 (One UI 7) software. Both will be upgraded on next year’s Galaxy A57. The company has already started testing the device, and here are the preliminary details we found on the Geekbench database.
GalaxyClub reported in May that the A57 will feature an Exynos 1680 SoC, and it seems they were right on the money. Geekbench now reveals the same thing, only with a bit more detail. The platform’s OpenCL test gave away almost everything there is to know about Samsung’s new silicon.
More than anything else, the Geekbench OpenCL test is a GPU benchmark, which gave this new Exynos chip an average score of 6524 points. The Galaxy A57 is in the early stages of development, so this may have been a prototype test.
The new chip has an integrated Xclipse 550 GPU, which seems to have fewer compute units than before. The GPU runs on a 1306MHz clock speed, and the device has been given up to 8GB of RAM, some of which the new Samsung 5G mobile shares with the system as virtual memory.
Geekbench addresses this new chip with the codename “S5E8865.” It has an 8-core architecture with three clusters. The core configuration may seem familiar to you, but the actual frequency numbers are a bit suspicious. We may have to wait for the future benchmarks to verify them.
The CPU will be paired with at least 8GB of RAM on the Galaxy A57. Also, you can expect to see Android 16 running on this phone out of the box. The firmware will be based on Samsung One UI 8 software that’s currently being tested on a few Galaxy devices.
The Galaxy A57 is still months away from launch. There’s a long road ahead, and the device will probably show up on the Geekbench database again with the CPU’s single and multi-core performance. Keep watching the news for updates.
