After the Samsung Galaxy S23 appeared on the Geekbench running platform, the suspected new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has also appeared on Geekbench with the model number SM-S918U.
The Geekbench listing shows that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is equipped with an unnamed chipset with the “kalama” motherboard logo and a CPU architecture of “1+2+2+3” with a main core frequency of 3.6GHz, which according to previous leaks, the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, “1+2+2+3” which is 1× 3.36GHz Cortex-X3 Super Core + 4× 2.8GHz Cortex-A715 / A710 Big Core + 3× 2.02GHz Cortex-A510 Core.
The test device scored an impressive 1,521 single-core and 4,689 multi-core points. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 scored a maximum of 1,200/4,200 points respectively. The listings indicate that the test device has 8GB of RAM and it is expected that the phone will be offered in a version with at least 12GB of RAM. In addition, the phone is running Android 13, presumably OneUI 5.
Whether Samsung will also release an Exynos-powered Samsung Galaxy S23 model remains to be seen, as earlier rumors suggested that all 2023 Samsung S-series phones will use Qualcomm SoCs, while newer reports suggest that Exynos chips are still under consideration.
