A Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra benchmark suggests it could be the most powerful phone in the world
We know that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powerful – that almost goes without saying – but exactly how powerful is less clear. Now, though, we have a slightly better idea, thanks to an early benchmark.
A screenshot of a Geekbench result for what is apparently a US model of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has been shared by leaker @Jukanlosreveand it shows 12GB of RAM along with impressively high scores, with a single-core result of 3,148 and a multi-core score of 10,236.
To put that into perspective, the average single-core score achieved by the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is 2,137, and the average multi-core result is 6,680, so the scores in this Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra benchmark are vastly higher.
In any case, the multi-core score is also higher than the multi-core score achieved by the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with that phone achieving an average single-core score of 3,392 and an average multi-core result of 8,352.
Don’t read too much into one benchmark
In other words, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be astonishingly powerful – but ‘could’ is the key word there, as this is just one benchmark, so it could be an outlier. In fact, it’s just a screenshot of an alleged benchmark list, so it could even be fake.
Additionally, an earlier Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra benchmark recorded lower – but still impressively high – scores of 3,011 for single-core and 9,706 for multi-core.
So we wouldn’t read too much into these latest results, but it’s certainly possible that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will beat the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Either way, it will certainly be very powerful – leaks suggest it will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and that certainly has impressive specs on paper.
We should find out exactly how both that chip and the Galaxy S25 Ultra perform early next year, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 line likely launching in January or February.
