Samsung’s next mid-range, the Galaxy A57, is entering he conversation with the discovery of its rumored Exynos 1680 processor. Spotted by GalaxyClub, this chip promises to elevate performance, hinting at exciting upgrades for the 2026 release.
Samsung’s Galaxy A-series continues its annual refresh, with the Galaxy A57 set to succeed the A56, which debuted in 2025 with the Exynos 1580. A new leak from GalaxyClub reveals the A57’s likely processor, the Exynos 1680 (model S5E8865), marking Samsung’s next step in mid-range chip development. The Exynos 1680 is expected to feature the brand’s in-house Xclipse 550 GPU, potentially based on AMD’s RDNA 3.5 architecture. For those unfamiliar, RDNA 3.5 is a part of the upcoming Exynos 2500, which is rumored to power the Galaxy S26 and the Z Flip 7 in most markets.
While performance specifics of the Exynos 1680 remain under wraps, it should build on the A56’s Exynos 1580, which scored an average of 906K on AnTuTu with a tri-cluster CPU (1x Cortex-A720 at 2.9GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 at 2.6GHz, 4x Cortex-A520 at 1.95GHz), per NanoReview. Speculation suggests a 15-25% performance boost, with AnTuTu scores potentially hitting 1.1-1.2M and a GPU score of 300-350K.
Nonetheless, none of this is official, and it’s best to wait for benchmark listings, which are likely to surface as we get closer to launch. The Exynos 1680 is expected to retain the 4nm process but may adopt a 1+4+3 core configuration.
To recall, the Galaxy A56 brought a 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED, 50MP triple cameras, 45W charging, and a 5,000mAh battery. For the A57, expectations include a telephoto camera with 2x or 3x optical zoom to compete with brands like Vivo, and 4K 60fps video recording. With a rumored price of ₹45,990 (~$550) in India, the A57 will launch sometime in the first half of 2026.
