It’s the first sighting of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra on Geekbench, and this time it brought along some pretty exciting information about its performance and specifications. 91mobiles reports about this particular first-time-ever sighting of Samsung, and as one can expect from every new iteration of its flagship series, the Korean giant tends to go out of its way. With the looks at things, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is not looking any different. Let’s dive into what these Geekbench scores and past leaks tell us about this highly anticipated phone.
Geekbench Performance Breakdown
The Galaxy S25 Ultra model tested on Geekbench bears a model number of SM-S938U. Based on the label, it seems this is the model variant for the U.S. variant of the device. As this is yet to be announced by Samsung, benchmark tests are an early guess at how well the performance is going to be in a variety of conditions.
Performance: Single-core-3069
Performance: Multi-core-9080
These results show a massive improvement over its predecessor and show that the S25 Ultra is going to be a powerhouse in performance. Let’s look closer at what’s inside these performance scores.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Processor and RAM
The Geekbench listing indicates the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be marketed as an octa-core Qualcomm chip. While running on the ARM V8 instruction set, this could be considered important because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has widely been rumored to use a more advanced ARMv9.2-A instruction set for it. Thus, it may be suggested that the S25 Ultra contains a customized or pre-release variant of the chip and may be something distinctive in its own right.
Of course, the tested chip boasts a base clock at 2.90 GHz with a peak clock at 4.19 GHz. Comparison suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is supposed to top out at 4.37 GHz, meaning that the chip inside the S25 Ultra is quite slightly slower when it comes to raw speed. Of course, clock speed is just one part of the equation, and the whole performance could still match or far supersede expectations for real-world use.
The tested model has 12GB of RAM along with this processor, just like the current Galaxy S24 Ultra. This means that such hardware will be well-equipped for multitasking, playing games, and performing other resource-intensive activities.
Android 15 and Software
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra should feature Android 15 at its core. Although it is still a quite underdeveloped operating system, Samsung hasn’t made its One UI skin based on this version public yet. One UI has always been valued for smoothness and more functionality than the stock Android. With Android 15 as a base, we can expect a much more streamlined and feature-rich experience.
It may also include tighter integration with Samsung’s ecosystem of devices, such as Galaxy tablets and watches and other smart home products. Other changes would include longer-lasting batteries, stronger data privacy measures, and AI-driven to make the Galaxy S25 Ultra as fun to use for day-to-day activities and work.
Camera System
Samsung has always been noted for bending the rules when it comes to phone photography, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra does no less. While there’s still no official confirmation from the horse’s mouth about this, leaks suggest the phone will offer a 200MP HP2 primary camera. It would be a subtle but noticeable improvement over the S24 Ultra itself had a 200MP sensor, and the new process upgrade on the S25 Ultra’s camera should improve things in some way. This may yield even crisper photos with color reproduction and performance under low light.
The S25 Ultra is also expected to boast a 50MP ISOCELL JN3 ultrawide lens. This will be better than the 12MP ultrawide lens in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This should allow each of your ultrawide photos to be snapped at a more detailed level and be sharper in its focus.
There is potential for other zooming functions, such as a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 50MP telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom, on the phone. Samsung’s zoom cameras are legendary for their high resolution and flexibility, so that will provide users with much greater freedom to take subjects from afar without losing detail.
Battery and Charging
The listing from China’s 3C certification agency says the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature the same 45W wired charging as its predecessor. Whereas some may have hoped that charging speeds would accelerate a little further, 45W remains pretty competitive against most flagship smartphones on the market. Unfortunately, like all other high-end devices from Samsung, this charger will not be provided with the device, and its buyer will have to buy it from somewhere if he does not already have one.
Battery capacity will likely be at 5,000mAh, the same as that on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, though with a more power-efficient processor and tightened software knobs inside Android 15, the S25 Ultra should still have some glorious battery life despite the non-existent larger battery.
Design and Display
Design-wise, this might be the most interesting aspect of changes to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. As confirmed by leaked renders, the phone will have a design that is flatter and lighter than the S24 Ultra model. As such, you are able to carry it easily on your person within your pocket, thereby allowing for easier maneuverability with one hand-use, though quite a problem with nearly every Samsung Ultra model in recent memory that has felt too bloated, both in size and weight.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to sport a 6.86-inch Dynamic AMOLED display on its front side. The predecessor Galaxy S24 Ultra features a 6.8-inch screen. Displays of Samsung are never second-rate. They feature vibrant colors, deep blacks, and butter-smooth refresh rates. Expect the added improvements in brightness levels, HDR performance, and energy efficiency to stand up as one of the best screens on any smartphone.
Conclusion
Based on these leaks and benchmark results, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra looks set to become an outstanding flagship smartphone. A powerful processor, amazing display, versatile camera system, and design flatter and lighter than before will make this one a hit with the tech heads and the heavy hitters.
After years of history, Samsung has launched phones that shatter the mold and so with the S25 Ultra, which is one device to handle everything you throw at it-from heavy gaming and multi-tasking to making contents. If the camera specs stand a chance, it may also be on the list for picture-taking enthusiasts when on the go.
Of course, some will feel a little let down because charging speed hasn’t really improved much or battery size remains the same, but more efficient hardware and software ensure that the S25 Ultra will offer amazing battery life. While it’s become commonplace that one shouldn’t expect a charger in the box, it is something to factor when budgeting on the phone.
So, in a nutshell, the Galaxy S25 Ultra promises to carry that legacy of goodness continued from its predecessors with the latest performance, brilliant display, and versatile camera system. As one of the most checked-out phones in 2024, we can’t wait to see how it performs in real life. For each old-timer Samsung fan or someone thinking of joining the club, the S25 Ultra is well worth keeping an eye on.
