Leak reveals details of Galaxy A57's Exynos chipset

Samsung's Galaxy A56 is just a couple of months old but news of its successor which should launch as the Galaxy A57, has already begun to surface. Not expected to arrive until 2026, a report about the processor that will power the next-gen Galaxy A smartphone has appeared online.

Like the Galaxy A56 (available on Amazon for $409.99), the Galaxy A57 will launch with a new processor called the Exynos 1680 according to GalaxyClub. The source says the new processor, which has the model number ''S5E8865'' and the codename ''Terra'', is already being tested.

There are not a lot of confirmed details yet, so there's a bit of speculation such as the processor having an Xclipse GPU. The Exynos 1680 is expected to have an Xclipse 550 GPU which should be more powerful than the Xclipse 540 GPU of the Exynos 1580 processor that powers the Galaxy A56.

With respect to the CPU, there are no details yet. However, we won't be surprised if Samsung opts for the Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520 again just as it did with the Exynos 1580. Although, we can expect a higher clock speed and or cluster arrangement. The Exynos 1580 has a tri-cluster made up of a 1x Cortex-A720 clocked at 2.9GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 clocked at 2.6GHz, and 4x Cortex-A520 clocked at 1.9GHz.

The Exynos 1580 was a big step up from the Galaxy A55's Exynos 1480 processor but it remains to be seen if the Exynos 1680 will continue that trend or be a minor upgrade over its predecessor.
