Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Benchmarks: Unveiling Performance Insights
The tech world is abuzz with the emergence of the first Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge benchmarks, shedding light on both promising and slightly worrisome aspects of Samsung’s upcoming ultra-slim smartphone. Identified as the global model ‘Samsung SM-S937B,’ this device has made its debut on the renowned Geekbench 6 benchmark tool.
The revelation of these benchmarks not only hints at an imminent release of the Galaxy S25 Edge, possibly as soon as April, but also confirms Samsung’s commitment to top-notch components. With the inclusion of the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a whopping 12GB of RAM, Samsung is gearing up to deliver a performance powerhouse within the Galaxy S25 family.
However, a closer look at the benchmark results unveils a cause for concern. The Galaxy S25 Edge achieves a single-core score of 2806 and a multi-core score of 8416, falling noticeably short of its counterparts in the Galaxy S25 range and other devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
For instance, the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra scored significantly higher in multi-core tests, highlighting a potential 12% performance gap for Samsung’s sleek new offering. While early hardware optimization could play a role, the slim dimensions of the Galaxy S25 Edge, rumored to be just 6.4mm thick, might be posing thermal challenges that affect performance.
The implications of a thinner thermal dissipation solution could lead to the chip being down-clocked, impacting sustained performance during intensive tasks like gaming. Despite likely delivering smooth day-to-day performance, the Galaxy S25 Edge could lag behind its siblings in demanding scenarios, raising concerns for a premium-priced device.
As Samsung navigates these performance challenges, the Galaxy S25 Edge’s ultimate performance and user experience remain to be seen. Stay tuned for further updates as Samsung fine-tunes its flagship offering to deliver a seamless and compelling mobile experience.
