The Samsung Galaxy S21 series is reportedly the worst-selling Galaxy S lineup in recent years. Hence, Samsung is said to bring huge improvements with the Galaxy S22 series to lure in buyers. But unfortunately, the initial reports about these upcoming phones say otherwise.

Just like the previous models, the Galaxy S22 series will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon and Samsung Exynos chipsets. The tentative names of these SoCs are Snapdragon 895 and Exynos 2200.

Usually, the Snapdragon version is more powerful than the Exynos variant. But a preliminary Geekbech listing of the vanilla Galaxy S22 with a Snapdragon 895 suggests a different story.

As per the listing, the Qualcomm variant of the Galaxy S22 (SM-S901) with 8GB RAM and Android 12 scores only 475 points and 1393 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively. For those unaware, these scores are way too low for the next-gen Snapdragon 800 series silicon. This year’s Snapdragon 888 itself can easily attain over 900 points in the single-core test and above 3000 points in the multi-core test.

As SamMobile points out, this particular listing could be either fake or the unit used was still not optimized. There’s also a chance that the device used for benchmark had ‘Power saving mode’ turned on.

We also have a similar feeling towards these benchmark scores. Anyway, we are still months away from the launch of this handset, which might take place in January. Hence, we expect to come across even more benchmark listings and whatnot in the coming days.

Having said that, what’s your take on this Geekbench listing of Galaxy S22? Also, what are your expectations of Exynos 2200, which is said to arrive with AMD mRDNA GPU? Do let us know in the comment section below.
