The Samsung Galaxy S24+ is projected to debut early next year as one of the successors of Samsung's Galaxy S23 line of smartphones, which were released in February. The device has been seen on a benchmarking website, listing some of the phone's specs months before its planned release. The forthcoming S-series flagship smartphone is expected to come in two flavours: one powered by Qualcomm's yet-to-be-unveiled Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and the other by the South Korean company's in-house Exynos CPU.
On Monday, a Geekbench listing for a smartphone with the model number SM-S926U, which is thought to be the next Galaxy S24+ mobile, appeared on the benchmarking website. It is said to be powered by a pineapple chipset, which has a different cluster arrangement than Qualcomm's current-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship SoC.
The chipset described in the listing contains a prime Cortex-X4 core with a clock speed of 3.30GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores with a rate speed of 3.15GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores with a clock speed of 2.96GHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores with a clock speed of 2.27GHz. According to the Geekbench entry, the phone might have 8GB of RAM and run Android 14 out of the box.
According to the listing for the alleged device, it scored 2,231 points in the single-core and 6,661 points in the multi-core tests. These results indicate that the highest performance boost over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset will be 20% (multi-core performance). The chipset is rumoured to use an Adreno 750 GPU, which is reported to be 50% faster than the Adreno 740.
Previous sources claim that Samsung would introduce the Galaxy S24 series of smartphones with Snapdragon CPUs in the United States, while consumers in other areas will get Exynos chipsets. This indicates that the listing is for the Galaxy S24+ US model. Meanwhile, it's unclear if the previously announced chipset clock rates are for the vanilla Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU or a special Snapdragon for Galaxy processor like the one released this year.
