Yesterday, we got a peek at AnTuTu benchmarks for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, revealing a rather impressive score, considering they decided not to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processor to power the device.
Now, Samsung has tested it out using the GeekBench benchmarking tool and unsurprisingly the device is showing the same blistering fast performance. According to GeekBench the Galaxy S6 Edge which has a Exynos 7420 processor under the hood, scored a good 1,492 point in the single-core test and 5,077 in the mulit-core test.
That even beats the iPad Air 2‘s triple core and 2GB setup, as well as being more powerful than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which scored a maximum of 1,054 and 3,374 points in the single and multi-core tests. Qualcomm could very well be in trouble since Samsung’s Exynos chip is leaving the Snapdragon 810 in the dust.
From what we know about the phone so far is that the display is shown to be a 5.1″ (likely Super AMOLED) with a Quad HD resolution of 2560×1440. Strangely there’s no extra display width like the current Galaxy Note Edge that does 2560×1600. For imaging, it gets a 20MP main shooter and a front facing 5MP camera for selfies. As you would expect for a 2015 flagship, it runs on the newer Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box. There’s also rumours that Samsung might streamline it’s TouchWiz interface for it’s next flagship..
The design for the Galaxy S6 and Edge is still up to debate, but all will be known come MWC 2015 in Barcelona.
