Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Spotted on Geekbench, Performance and Hardware Upgrades Revealed

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has made its debut on Geekbench, giving us an early look at its expected performance and hardware upgrades. With the codename ‘SM-S938U’, this is likely the phone that will be sold in the US.

Performance and Benchmarks

Let’s take a closer look at how the phone performed in benchmarks:

* Single-core performance score: 3069 points
* Multi-core performance score: 9080 points

For comparison, the Galaxy S24 Ultra performed:

* Single-core performance score: 2143 points
* Multi-core performance score: 6696 points

As you can see, there’s a significant increase in power, despite the phone losing even more weight. Leaked renders show that the S25 Ultra will shave off even more width than its predecessor, while also returning to rounded edges.

Hardware and Features

Aside from performance, the Geekbench listing also gives us a look at a few other bits of information. This model was sporting 12 GB of RAM, the same as last year’s Ultra. However, it’s worth noting that this doesn’t necessarily mean all S25 Ultra variants will be locked to this amount of RAM.

The tested model was also running Android 15, which means the phone should support OS updates till Android 22. It’s also worth mentioning that the phone is using an octa-core Qualcomm processor with a maximum clock speed of 4.19 GHz, and is ARM V8, which means it won’t be using the newest rumored Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

What’s Next for Samsung?

Samsung recently started planning to develop its own 1.4 nm chips, which it wants to start using by 2027. However, yield problems have forced Samsung to withdraw personnel from its plant in Taylor, Texas, and the future of the company’s chip manufacturing business remains uncertain.

For consumers, though, the S25 Ultra should easily be one of the best phones worth buying in 2025. With its impressive performance and hardware upgrades, it’s sure to be a top contender in the market.
