Samsung’s next mid-range phone may have just revealed more of itself. After the Galaxy A57 quietly appeared on Samsung’s internal test server earlier this month, the device has now surfaced on Geekbench with a new Exynos chip under the hood.
The listing confirms that the A57 is powered by the Exynos 1680, which succeeds last year’s Exynos 1580 used in the Galaxy A56. According to the benchmark entry, the smartphone achieves a single-core score of 1,311 and a multi-core score of 4,347 on Geekbench 6.5 for Android.
Here’s the Exynos 1680 equation
More interesting is what the benchmark listing suggests about Samsung’s CPU decisions. The Exynos 1680 appears to maintain the same clock speeds as its predecessor but with a rearranged core layout. It has:
- 1 Prime core @ up to 2.91GHz
- 4 Performance cores @ up to 2.6GHz
- 3 Efficiency cores @ up to 1.95GHz
That’s one more performance core and one fewer efficiency core compared to the Exynos 1580. On paper, this should deliver higher sustained performance rather than maximum power savings; however, we’ll have to see how that plays out in real-world use.
The tested Galaxy A57 unit also includes 12GB of RAM and was running Android 16.
The recent Geekbench run is a follow-up to one from August, which revealed only its OpenCL score. For those unaware, OpenCL is commonly used to benchmark graphics performance.
There are still many aspects we don’t know about, including design, cameras, battery, charging, and features. That said, it’s highly likely that Samsung will ship an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 5,000mAh battery.
The Galaxy A57, at the very least, is expected to launch in March.
