upcoming Galaxy S6 Edge has been caught making
a pass through the AnTuTu benchmarking suite,
leaving all kinds of meaty intel for us to digest,
not to mention a performance record.
To start off, the specific model of the Galaxy S6
Edge that was spotted was the SM-G925W8, a
mashup of numerals and letters that we're well
acquainted with, and have pretty good reasons to
believe refer to no other than Samsung's next
flagship. More importantly, however, the device
is powered by the octa-core Exynos 7420 – a
Samsung-made chip built on a 14 nm node
(compared to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810, which
is built on a 20 nm one), complemented by an ARM
Mali-T760 GPU.
As for the rest of the specs, we're looking at a
5.1-inch display (Super AMOLED, most likely) with
a super high resolution of 1440 x 2560 (576 ppi),
3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a 20-
megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front-
facing selfie snapper. In other words, most of
what we thought we knew based on rumors is
shaping up to be the real deal.
Lastly, and as mentioned, the Galaxy S6 Edge set
a record high, 60,978 score – by far the highest
we've seen. Since AnTuTu is a multi-stage test,
the break-down of the score actually allows us to
spot where the Exynos 7420 improved the most
compared to the older Exynos 5433 – 3D objects
visualization. That's always welcome news,
especially when talking about phones with as
pixel-dense displays (these put an enormous
strain on the processor and GPU).
With Samsung's Unpacked event (set for March
1st) now just a few short weeks away, we expect
to get more and more concrete information on
the Galaxy S6 Edge before it's even made public,
so do stay tuned for more.
UPDATE: This piece previously referred to the SM-
G925W8 as the Galaxy S6, but based on recent,
seemingly credible leaks, we have reason to
believe that it's actually the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Story has been edited to reflect that.
