Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus: The iPhone Killer?

Performance test results for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus have leaked, showing that it's more powerful than the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The Galaxy S25: A Surprising Powerhouse

The upcoming flagship from Samsung, the Galaxy S25, is poised to be a powerful smartphone, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Recently leaked benchmarks suggest that this new series will deliver stellar performance.

Remarkable Performance Unveiled by a Leak

Benchmarks leaked by Jukanlosreve on platform X indicate that the Galaxy S25 Plus, the mid-range model, scored an impressive 3,160 in single-core and 9,941 in multi-core tests. The tested model appears to run on Android 15 with 10 GB of RAM at a frequency of 4.47 GHz.

A Significant Edge Over Competitors

These scores significantly exceed those of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, A18 Pro chipset, and even Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro Max. The Galaxy S25 Plus thus emerges as a formidable competitor, even outperforming the Galaxy S25 Ultra in single-core tests.

However, it’s important to note that these results are based on just one leak. Yet, benchmarks of the OnePlus 13 with Qualcomm’s latest chipset confirm this leap in power for the next generation of Android phones. We eagerly await further details on these significant enhancements.

An Imminent Announcement

We anticipate Samsung will announce the Galaxy S25 series in January, likely around the 23rd. Typically, Samsung allows about two weeks between the announcement and the official release. We are eager to test the Galaxy S25 Plus and see how it stacks up against the latest iPhones.

In the meantime, Samsung is reportedly working on a foldable portable gaming console, as hinted by a new patent. Additionally, recently leaked photos have unveiled the design and user interface of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. There has also been talk of the Galaxy S25 Slim. All the more reason to look forward to Samsung’s upcoming announcements.
