Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Key Specs Revealed On Geekbench
A Samsung device with the model number SM-S948B has reportedly on Geekbench, as spotted by leaker Tarun Vats. This is expected to be the global variant of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to the listing, the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s global variant is confirmed to come powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor — a custom chip for the flagship Galaxy device. The S26 Ultra will also come equipped with 12GB of RAM as standard.
The listing shows the device running Android 16 (likely with Samsung’s One UI on top). It features an eight-core chipset with six performance cores capped at 3.63 GHz and two prime cores at 4.74 GHz. The reported Geekbench scores are 3,601 (single-core) and 10,686 (multi-core).
These figures represent a significant leap over the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which typically scored around 3,100-3,200 (single-core) and 9,700-10,000 (multi-core) on similar tests.
The S26 Ultra’s results are competitive with other Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 devices like the OnePlus 15 (around 3,600 single-core and about 11,000 multi-core). The final clocked units could score over 3,900 in single-core testing.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is built on a 2nm process, promising improvements in performance, efficiency, AI processing, and gaming compared to previous generations. This should deliver smoother multitasking, faster app launches, better thermal management, and enhanced AI features in the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
