Samsung Galaxy S26 FE appears on Geekbench with worse performance than Galaxy S26 series siblings
After releasing the main Galaxy S26 trio earlier this year, Samsung is set to revisit the lineup with a new entry. The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to arrive as a direct successor to the Galaxy S25 FE, and now appears to have made its Geekbench debut well ahead of launch.
The phone is listed with the model number "SM-S741U", with 8 GB of RAM onboard, and running on Android 17. Performance-wise, it earns a single-core score of 2,426 and a multi-core score of 8,004. Both of those numbers are a step back from the performance of the other Galaxy S26 series phones. That's no surprise as the chipset on the tested device here looks to be the Exynos 2500, and not the Exynos 2600 on some Galaxy S26 models.
The Geekbench listing confirms the presence of the deca-core chipset with a prime core running at 3.30 GHz, two cores at 2.75 GHz, five cores at 2.36 GHz, and two efficiency cores at 1.80 GHz. The GPU onboard is, of course, the Xclipse 950. Seeing as last year's Galaxy S25 FE featured the Exynos 2400, the S26 FE promises better performance regardless, while continuing the trend of the Fan Edition phone sporting last-gen silicon.
