Samsung is currently developing the Galaxy A57, succeeding the Galaxy A56, which was released in March. A recent Geekbench benchmark of a prototype A57 provides preliminary insights into the device’s processor configuration.

The benchmark results indicate the integration of the Exynos 1680 chipset, the successor to the Exynos 1580 found in the Galaxy A56. It is important to note that, as this is a prototype, the benchmark scores should be considered preliminary. The device achieved a single-core score of 1,311 and a multi-core score of 4,347 on Geekbench 6.5 for Android.
The tested Galaxy A57 prototype featured 12GB of RAM and operated on Android 16. This aligns with the top-tier configuration of the Galaxy A56. The expected launch with Android 16 in early 2026 is consistent with industry trends.
The CPU within the Exynos 1680 SoC is configured with a core architecture, including one Prime core clocked at up to 2.91GHz, four performance cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz, and three efficiency cores clocked at up to 1.95GHz.
A key distinction from the preceding Exynos 1580 appears to be an adjustment in core configuration. The Exynos 1680 incorporates one additional performance core and one fewer efficiency core. However, the clock speeds remain unchanged. Further refinement of these specifications is possible during the launch phase, as this is an engineering prototype. Further developments will require observation.
