In contrast to the larger Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 the small Galaxy Z Flip 7 (available at Amazon) is powered by Samsung's own Exynos 2500 and not by the current High-end chipset from Qualcomm - at least in Europe.
The Samsung Exynos 2500 is the first SoC to be manufactured using Samsung's new 3nm GAA process. The chipset integrates a total of 10 cores. The deca-core chip uses a 3.3 Ghz Cortex-X925 prime core, two Cortex-A725 cores with 2.75 Ghz each, five frugal Cortex-A725 cores (2.36 Ghz) and two efficiency cores based on the Cortex-A520, which operate at 1.8 Ghz.
The graphics unit in the Samsung Exynos 2500 is the Xclipse 950 with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz and AMD's RDNA 3.5 technology including ray tracing support.
Snapdragon 8 Elite still the measure of all things
The CPU performance of the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 cannot keep up with the current flagship chipset from Qualcomm. The Samsung chipset in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 scores with 2478 points in single core and 8098 in multi core in the Geekbench 6. This puts the Samsung SoC around 8 to 20 percent below the scores of a Galaxy Fold7 and Xiaomi Mix Flip 2.
As NPU performance is also becoming increasingly important for smartphones, let's also take a look at the Geekbench AI results. If we compare the results of the Galaxy Flip7 to the Xiaomi counterpart with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, we see an even larger performance gap of up to 32 percent.
Further benchmark tests will follow shortly in our detailed review.
