The US models of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Z Flip5 have appeared on the benchmarking platform Geekbench. The benchmark tests confirm that the two new foldables will use customized Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipsets, just like the Galaxy S23, the S23+ and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Compared to the normal Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the CPU and GPU cores are slightly overclocked.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 with the model code SM-F946U achieved 2,030 points in the single-core test and 5,213 points in the multi-core benchmark. These values are slightly higher than those of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, which hover around the 1,500 and 4,900 point marks respectively. However, the values are Geekbench 5 tests, while the new benchmarks already ran on Geekbench 6. Therefore, the results are not really comparable. The Galaxy Z Fold5 from the test had 12GB RAM under the hood and booted Android 13.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, model code SM-F731U, used the same chipset as the successor to the Galaxy Z Fold4. It scored 2,030 single-core points and 5,213 points in the multi-core department. The vertically foldable smartphone appeared on Geekbench with 8 GB of RAM and also Android 13 as the operating system. The next generation of Samsung foldables should launch in August.
