Samsung’s next-gen foldable powerhouse, the Galaxy Z Fold7, just surfaced on Geekbench 6, revealing flagship-tier specs ahead of its expected July launch. The listing (spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav) confirms two critical details: 12GB of RAM and the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 "Elite for Galaxy" chipset.
According to the Geekbench 6 test run, the device (codenamed SM-F965U) scored a blistering 2,820 in single-core and 10,420 in multi-core tests. These figures align with earlier leaks suggesting Samsung’s "Elite" variant of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will feature higher clock speeds than the standard chip.
Key Takeaways:
- Exclusive Chipset: The "Elite for Galaxy" branding confirms Samsung’s custom optimization, likely pushing CPU frequencies beyond 4.0GHz.
- Memory Advantage: 12GB RAM matches the Fold6, dispelling rumors of a 16GB upgrade.
- Regional Split: While the Fold7 uses Snapdragon globally, leaks suggest the Galaxy Z Flip7 may debut Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chip in some markets.
Contextual Wins
The Fold7’s performance isn’t just theoretical. Earlier benchmarks hinted it could outperform rivals like the Oppo Find N4 by ~15% in multi-core workloads. This aligns with Qualcomm’s claims of Gen 4’s 40% CPU gains over Gen 3.
What’s Next?
With Samsung’s July Unpacked event looming, all eyes are on thermal optimization — a critical factor for foldables. If early numbers hold, the Fold7 could set new standards for multitasking and gaming in flexible form factors.
