A benchmark has appeared on Geekbench of what appears to be the Samsung Galaxy S25+. What is interesting about this is that it appears to be the European variant and it runs on an Exynos 2500. So a chipset from Samsung while previously it was still assumed that all versions were getting the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Samsung does not seem to have completely thrown overboard its intention to use the Exynos 2500. This benchmark of the Samsung SM-S936B proves just that. That, if all goes well, is the type number of the upcoming Galaxy S25+. The -B at the end indicates the European model.
The benchmark also shows which chipset the device uses; the S5E9955. And that must be the Exynos 2500 chipset developed by Samsung itself. It must be said that this data is easy to fake and it also does not yet say anything about what Samsung is actually planning. Suppose it is correct, Samsung can always just run a test.
No definitive answer yet
All in all, benchmarks are fun to brag about, but they don't say much. Even phones with relatively high scores can feel slow, such as when throttling or when animations don't look smooth. The other way around is also possible; a slow phone can feel fast by prioritizing animations. It's all in the perception.
Whether the Samsung Galaxy S25+ will come out in Europe with an Exynos 2500 or Snapdragon 8 Elite is also still undecided. Maybe at Samsung headquarters, but we don't know yet. There is little choice but to wait and see. The fact is that Samsung would love to use the Exynos 2500, but we just don't know yet if they can make enough of it.
