Korean Galaxy S26 with Exynos 2600 also runs Geekbench | Infinium-tech

The US-bound Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra passed through Geekbench with the SM-S942U and SM-S948U, respectively, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets. Now the SM-S942N, which is the South Korean S26, also ran the benchmarks.

As rumors are suggesting, the Korean model was powered by Exynos 2600 (S59965). The phone had 12GB of RAM and ran Android 16 (likely with One UI 8.5 on top).

The Exynos 2600 is the world’s first 2nm chipset based on Samsung’s 2nm GAA node. It has a 10-core CPU using ARM C1-Ultra and C1-Pro cores. According to Samsung, the new CPU will be 39% faster than the Exynos 2500 CPU.

We don’t put too much stock in pre-release benchmarks, but we know you’re curious, so here’s the SM-S942N (the S26 with the Exynos 2600), the SM-S942U (the S26 with the Snapdragon 820), and last year’s S25 (which only included the Snapdragon 8 Elite).

Although it was not part of the test, Geekbench reports a Samsung Excilipse 960 GPU. Samsung claimed it had twice the compute power and 50% higher ray tracing performance than the Exynos 2500 GPU, but provided little detail about the architecture. Informally, the GPU is said to be based on RDNA 4 (up from RDNA 2 on previous generations).

We still don’t know for sure which regions the Exynos-based Galaxy S26 models will appear in – we’ve heard about Korea and Europe, but we haven’t seen the Euro S26 on Geekbench yet.
