Samsung Galaxy S25+ once again pops up on Geekbench with an Exynos chip

There's been a lot of talk regarding whether or not Samsung will go all in with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for its Galaxy S25 flagships or prefer a Snapdragon/Exynos split. Last month, a reliable tipster said all the Galaxy S25 models will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but we now wonder if that's going to be the case since the Samsung Galaxy S25+ has again popped up on Geekbench with what's said to be the Exynos 2500 SoC.

We are looking at the Samsung Galaxy S25+ with model code SM-S936B, running Android 15 and having 12GB RAM onboard. It scored 2,358 and 8,211 points in Geekbench's single and multi-core tests, respectively. This same model had surfaced on Geekbench in early November, scoring 2,359 and 8,141 points.

Just because the Galaxy S25+ has popped up on Geekbench with an Exynos chip again doesn't necessarily mean Samsung will launch the S25+ with Exynos. Someone in possession of the unit could have just rerun the tests on that model, and rumors about all the Galaxy S25 phones coming with a Snapdragon 8 Elite at the helm could still be true. We'll need more evidence from multiple sources to be sure of whether or not the Galaxy S25 trio will be all Snapdragon.
