The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has been spotted on Geekbench, giving us an early look at its expected performance and hardware upgrades. Dubbed the “SM-S938U,” it’s likely the phone that will be sold in the U.S.

First, let’s take a look at how the phone performed in comparative tests:

Single Core Performance Score: 3069 points
Multi-core performance score: 9080 points

For comparison, this is what it looks like Galaxy S24 Ultra performed:

Single Core Performance Score: 2143 points
Multi-core performance score: 6696 points

So there’s definitely a pretty solid bump in power. That’s despite the phone losing even more weight. Leaked renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra show that Samsung’s latest flagship will be even wider than its predecessor. However, it also shows that the S25 Ultra will return to rounded edges, losing the sharp look that the company’s Ultra phones have had for a few years now.

Aside from performance, the Geekbench listing also gives us a glimpse of a few other details. This model had 12GB of RAM, the same as last year’s Ultra. It’s worth mentioning that this doesn’t necessarily mean that all variants of the S25 Ultra will have that amount of RAM locked in.

The model we tested ran Android 15, which means the phone should support OS updates up to Android 22. Hopefully, developers will soon start rolling out 16KB page size support in Android 15 so that we all can fully enjoy the aforementioned performance parameters.

Finally, the model found on Geekbench is said to be using an octa-core Qualcomm processor with a maximum clock speed of 4.19GHz. It’s also an ARM V8, which means it won’t be using Qualcomm’s latest rumored processor — the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 — if the leaks are to be believed.

Samsung recently began planning to develop its own 1.4nm chips, which it hopes to begin using by 2027. However, performance issues have forced Samsung to pull staff from its plant in Taylor, Texas, and the future of the company’s chipmaking business remains uncertain.

For consumers, however, the S25 Ultra should easily be one of the best phones to buy in 2025.
