The Galaxy S25 Slim has appeared on Geekbench, and it is raising speculations that this smartphone might be presented at Samsung‘s Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled on January 22. Again, the South Korean tech giant has its lips sealed tight on this matter. Still, the benchmark listing gives some interesting cues about what it could bring to the table.
Galaxy S25 Slim scores nearly 7000 in Geekbench multi-core test
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim (model number SM-S937U) has surfaced on Geekbench and features some interesting hardware. The motherboard, which goes by the code name ‘sun,’ makes one suspect a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in this device. The other three models are already pretty much confirmed to use the same chip.
According to the listing, the chipset provides a six-core setup at a speed of 3.53 GHz and two performance cores at a crazy high speed of 4.47 GHz. Equipped with 12GB RAM, the device scores 3,005 points in single-core and 6,945 in multi-core tests respectively.
It is to be noted that the performance figures aren’t that impressive for the Snapdragon 8 Elite, possibly due to a conservative approach toward performance. To be fair, other Galaxy S25 models have already popped up several times on the benchmarking platform. The base Galaxy S25 hit 9,355 points in the multi-core test and a similar single-core score of 2,986 points. The Ultra model performed even better, with 3,148 points in the single-core and a whopping 10,236 points in the multi-core test.
As per the listing, the Galaxy S25 Slim will ship with Android 15 right out of the box, which will likely include the One UI 7 skin on top. While the Geekbench listing doesn’t tell much else, the specs seem to indicate that the Galaxy S25 Slim won’t skimp on performance despite its focus on being a thinner, sleeker alternative.
Will it launch alongside the other models?
For months, the Galaxy S25 Slim has been marred by rumors and leaks. The new Galaxy Unpacked event invite just added to the hype, with four corners showing on the image. Many now think that perhaps the S25 Slim will also make an unexpected debut along with the standard, Plus, and Ultra models.
Interestingly, earlier reports had indicated that the Galaxy S25 Slim would be launched in Q2 2025, so an announcement this month would be ahead of schedule. Samsung appears to be positioning the S25 Slim as a direct competitor to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air, which is also focused on delivering a slim and lightweight design.
