Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 shows off new chip power

Samsung is getting ready to launch its next foldable phones, likely on July 9 in New York City. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is grabbing attention because it will be the first Samsung foldable to use an Exynos 2500 chip instead of the usual Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Recent Geekbench tests give us a peek at its performance.

The international version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, model SM-F766B, scored 2,356 in single-core tests and 8,076 in multi-core tests. These numbers are better than an earlier US model test, which scored 2,012 and 7,563. The Exynos 2500 has a 10-core setup: one main core at 3.3GHz, two cores at 2.75GHz, five cores at 2.36GHz, and two energy-saving cores at 1.8GHz. This chip also supports satellite connectivity, a cool feature for staying connected without a cell signal.

Compared to last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which scored 2,247 and 6,857, the Exynos 2500 looks strong. However, real-world use, like how it handles heat and battery life in a foldable phone, will be key. The Z Flip 7 will run Android 16 with One UI 8 and have 12GB of RAM. With a 4-inch cover screen, this phone is shaping up to be a big deal when it launches.
