Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus benchmarks with upcoming Snapdragon 875 and Android 11
Samsung is all set to launch the upcoming Galaxy S21 series with three smartphones including the Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra. Just recently, we’ve reported about the leaked specs of the entire Galaxy S21 series and now one of the phones of this series spotted on a benchmark site.
According to the latest information, a device of Samsung carrying model number SM-G996U was entered Geekbench that is powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 875 chipset with 8GB of RAM. On the basis of the naming habit of the company, the phone could be named Galaxy S21 Plus.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875 has not been officially announced yet but the benchmark result shows that the CPU cores are running together with an Adreno 660 GPU. The upcoming SoC is rumored to feature a tri-cluster CPU setup with a single X1 high-performance core, three Cortex-A78 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores.

The results exposed one more thing that could irritate Samsung because the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S21+ (SM-G996U) got better results than the previously tested Exynos variant.
Geekbench result reveals that the Galaxy S21+ got 1120 points in the single-core performance and 3319 points in multi-core tests. While the previously tested Exynos powered device obtained 1038 points in the single-core performance and 3060 points in multi-core tests.
However, the Exynos benchmark scores are two months older than the latest Snapdragon variant so keep in mind that the final performance results will be changed in the future after the successful optimizations of Samsung’s Exynos SoC.
The benchmark listing also reveals that the upcoming Galaxy S21 series smartphones will come pre-packed Android 11 based One UI 3.1. So it is clear that these devices will receive Android OS support up to Android 14 based One UI 6.

Yesterday, we saw the Samsung Galaxy S24 series renders that revealed the phones’ design. While the Galaxy S24 and S24+ feature flat frame design, the S24 Ultra apparently brings the narrowest bezel in history. The same source now posted cropped images so you can better understand the design changes.
Samsung has slightly changed the aspect ratio of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This results in changes in the middle frame, and ditches the curved edges, indicating a flat display design. In the video below, you can see the transformation of the S23 Ultra into the upcoming S24 Ultra device.

As you can see in the comparison renders, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has an almost flat design as compared to its predecessor. The company has already reduced the curvature with the S23 Ultra this year, and it’s going to be flat, starting with the S24 Ultra next year.
And yeah, #GalaxyS24Ultra display is definitely less curved compared to #GalaxyS23Ultra display… pic.twitter.com/0kBqBMxaRe
