Both the upcoming Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra recently appeared on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Now, Samsung’s mid-tier flagship, the Galaxy S26 Plus, has also made a benchmark run, but with a different chip this time around.
Spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, the listing is believed to correspond to the South Korean variant of the Galaxy S26 Plus. As a result, unlike the standard S26 and S26 Ultra seen earlier, this model is powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600.
Exynos 2600 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
The Exynos 2600, as we know, uses a 10-core CPU setup and is built on a 2nm GAA process. It includes one C1 Ultra core clocked at 3.80 GHz with a 3 MB L2 cache, three C1 Pro cores running at 3.26 GHz, and six more C1 Pro cores at 2.76 GHz.
On the graphics side, the chip is paired with the Xclipse 960 GPU. The Geekbench entry also confirms that the Galaxy S26 Plus is running Android 16 and comes with 12GB of RAM.
One important thing to note is that this particular Geekbench run is an OpenCL test, which measures GPU performance. The Exynos 2600 scored 24,964 points in this test.
The Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra listings focused on CPU single-core and multi-core results instead, making direct comparisons difficult for now.
Separately, the Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 models are rumored to be exclusive to South Korea. The rest of the world will get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered devices.
Meanwhile, a recent leak has reportedly revealed the full specifications of both the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus. We’ve covered those details separately if you want a deeper look at what Samsung’s next flagships may offer.
