What you need to know

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus benchmark test gives us an idea of what to expect from Samsung’s next flagship.
• The device will likely be powered by the yet-to-be-released Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
• Another leak points to the battery capacities of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and S24 Plus models.

Samsung Galaxy S24 will be the next anticipated flagship-tier smartphone from the company after the recent foldables launch. And while it’s a bit too early to predict what to expect from the upcoming series, some benchmark listings and leaks give us an early look.

The Galaxy S24 Plus is one among the trio of devices set to arrive next year, and it allegedly appeared in a Geekbench database (via SamMobile). The Plus model, bearing the SM-S926U model from the listing, implies a U.S. variant running on the yet-to-be-released Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The chipset’s launch is expected at the upcoming Snapdragon Summit in October this year.

The Geekbench listing further hints at 8GB of RAM alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The SoC apparently has a powerful Cortex-X4 CPU with clock speeds of up to 3.3GHz, followed by three Cortex-A720 CPU cores at 3.15GHz, two Cortex-A720 CPU cores at 2.96GHz, and lastly, two Cortex-A520 CPU cores at 2.27GHz. It appears to be a minor bump over the predecessor “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy” SoC, which featured Cortex-X3 with relatively same clock speeds.
