Samsung Galaxy S25 Benchmarks: A Closer Look

Excitement is building around Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 lineup as new benchmarking leaks provide valuable insight into the lesser-known base model of the series.

Recent leaks suggest that the base Galaxy S25, confirmed to be powered by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, displays performance metrics that fall short compared to the flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The intriguing results highlight that even with the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite—boasting performance cores that clock in at an impressive 4.47GHz, compared to the standard 4.32GHz—the base model’s single-core and multi-core scores do not match the high standards set by its Ultra counterpart.

It seems Samsung continues its trend of maintaining distinct performance levels across its flagship models.

In an unexpected twist, the base Galaxy S25 model, indicated by its model number SM-S931B, will reportedly come standard with a robust 12GB of RAM, signaling a commitment from Samsung to elevate its mid-tier offerings.

This is particularly noteworthy, as previous models often varied in RAM capabilities depending on their tier within the lineup.

While one may speculate that the Galaxy S25’s relatively smaller chassis – which could lead to more constrained cooling solutions – might be the reason for the lower scores, it’s also essential to consider that benchmarks like Geekbench 6 are not always indicative of sustained performance.

As such, the performance discrepancies between these two models, despite their advanced specs, may not be as significant in real-world usage scenarios.

As anticipation mounts, Samsung fans can expect further improvements and optimizations before the official launch of the Galaxy S25 series, likely occurring later this month.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the unveiling of this exciting flagship family!
