Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has purportedly already been rated on popular benchmark tool, Geekbench.
The unannounced smartphone, which is tipped to launch early next year during the Mobile World Congress tradeshow, appears to have surfaced on the benchmark tool months before its release date.
The Geekbench listing refers to the handset as Samsung SM-G965F.
Alongside the all-important benchmark score (more on than later) the Geekbench listing also reveals some new details about the handset.
According to Geekbench, the Galaxy S9 will ship with Android 8.0 Oreo and a “universal9810” motherboard, which suggests the Exynos 9810 chipset.
Samsung quietly unveils its new chipset earlier this month, which is widely-tipped to power the latest additions to the Galaxy S range.
Confusingly, Geekbench also lists the unannounced handset as being equipped with 4GB of RAM – the same as the Galaxy S8.
That seems a little low, especially given that Samsung shipped its Galaxy Note 8 with 6GB of RAM earlier this summer.
As a result, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus doesn’t fare too well in its benchmark tests.
According to Geekbench, the Galaxy S9 will sport a single-core score of 1,191 and multi-core score of 3,835.
Bafflingly, that score is worse than the Galaxy S8, which racked-up a single-core score of 1,958 and a multi-core score of 6,436.
As TechRadar points out, Geekbench has been tricked by modified handsets in the past – so it’s possible the information listed on the site may not be completely accurate.
Alongside the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, Samsung is widely-tipped to launch an all-new smartphone, Galaxy X.
This new flagship will reportedly boast a foldable OLED display.
Dubbed “Project Valley” within the South Korean company, the so-called Galaxy X is expected to ship with a foldable design, akin to the flip-phones of the mid-00s.
Galaxy X will purportedly be comprised of two separate OLED displays, of which one is flexible.
Samsung Galaxy X is expected to be in extremely limited supply.
Some rumours suggest the South Korean company will only release the smartphone in its native market, before rolling-out worldwide later in 2018.
