Samsung Galaxy S25’s International Model Spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite
The Samsung Galaxy S25 continues to captivate tech enthusiasts, especially with growing speculation about its processor lineup. Earlier reports suggested a Snapdragon-only series. However, the Galaxy S25+ recently appeared on Geekbench powered by the Exynos 2500 chipset. Now, the international version of the Galaxy S25 has surfaced on Geekbench, running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. This development has reignited debates about Samsung’s processor strategy for the series.
Geekbench Details of Samsung Galaxy S25
The international Galaxy S25 bears the model code SM-S931B. It runs on Android 15 and includes 12GB of RAM. In Geekbench tests, it scored 2,986 in single-core and 9,355 in multi-core performance. These results are slightly below those of other devices using the same chipset, possibly because this is a prototype model. The final retail version will likely perform better.
What to Expect from the Galaxy S25 Series
Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy S25 series, including the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra, later this month. The devices are expected to feature cutting-edge technology, improved performance, and competitive pricing.

While the Exynos variant targets specific regions, the Snapdragon version is likely to offer consistent performance across the board. This dual-chipset strategy strengthens Samsung’s position in the competitive flagship market.
Competitors like the Xiaomi 14 Pro and OnePlus 12, which also use the Snapdragon 8 Elite, pose a challenge. How Samsung’s Galaxy S25 performs against these rivals will be a key aspect to watch in 2025.
