So, the Geekbench listing shows a new Samsung phone with the model number SM-S942N, which is referred to as the Galaxy S26 with Exynos 2600 SoC. This is the Exynos-powered variant available in South Korea, paired with 12GB RAM and Android 16-powered One UI 8.5 out of the box.
The Geekbench listing reveals scores of 3,315 and 11,310 points on single-core and multi-core tests.
