A device appearing to be the Korean model of the standard Samsung Galaxy S25 has now made a trip to Geekbench, confirming the presence of a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy and 12 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, the device fails to impress with its performance.

Word on the grapevine strongly indicates Samsung will equip its Galaxy S25 series with the Snapdragon 8 Elite globally. The flagship phones are expected to be unveiled in the fourth week of January, and the vanilla Galaxy S25 has now made a trip to Geekbench.

The Geekbench listing showcases the Galaxy S25 with the model number "SM-S931N", likely for the Korean model. Onboard is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, evidenced by its higher 4.47 GHz clock speed, compared to the 4.32 GHz clock speed for the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite used on devices like the OnePlus 13 and Xiaomi 15 series. Also present is 12 GB of RAM, possibly hinting at the tested device being a 256 GB or 512 GB SKU.

Sadly, however, the performance of the tested devices leaves a lot to be desired. It only earns a single-core score of 2481 and a multi-core score of 8658. Those numbers make for disappointing reading—especially considering the higher clock speeds of the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy—as other Snapdragon 8 Elite devices routinely score over 3000 and 9000 on the same tests respectively. That said, "For Galaxy" chipsets typically score lower than regular Snapdragon 8-series chipsets, thanks to Samsung's prioritization of efficiency over performance.
