Samsung Galaxy A57 benchmark scores revealed

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A57 has popped up in the Geekbench database. This gives us an early look at what the phone might offer. The listing spotted by @AbhishekYadav the phone runs on the new Exynos 1680 chip. It is paired with 12GB of RAM and Android 16. It’s our first real hint at what Samsung is preparing for its next mid-range device.

In the Geekbench results, the Galaxy A57 scored 1311 in the single-core test and 4347 in the multi-core test. These numbers aren’t final, though. The chip is still in testing, and early benchmark scores usually change once the software and hardware are fully tuned. So it’s best not to read too much into the exact figures just yet.

Last year, Samsung launched the Exynos 1580, a chip built on a tri-cluster setup. It used one fast Cortex-A720 core at 2.9GHz, three mid-level Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6GHz, and four power-saving Cortex-A520 cores running at 1.95GHz. It relied on Samsung’s third-generation 4nm process and came with the Xclipse 540 GPU, which handled graphics.

The Exynos 1680 follows the same general layout but with a few changes. Samsung added another performance core and removed one of the efficiency cores, shifting the balance toward stronger day-to-day performance. The clock speeds stay nearly the same, with one core running at 2.91GHz, three at 1.95GHz, and four at 2.6GHz. The graphics chip also gets a bump to the Xclipse 550, which runs at 1306MHz and should offer a bit more power than the previous model.

Earlier this year, the Exynos 1680’s GPU (listed as S5E8865) pulled in an OpenCL score of 6330. For comparison, the older Exynos 1580’s GPU usually scored between 6700 and 6900. That gap suggests the new chip may still be running on unfinished software, or Samsung may still be fine-tuning its performance.
