Samsung Device With Snapdragon 620 Chipset Benchmarked

While we are sure that Samsung has plenty of smartphones up for offer in the future, not much is known about them until the date of release draws nearer. What we do know, however, is the fact that an unknown device from Samsung has already made an appearance over at the GeekBench hardware information section, where the handset itself is known as the “samsung msm8976fhdlte-eur-open”. Could it very well be the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A9? Nobody knows for sure.

However, the revealed information from the benchmark points to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 620 chipset running everything from within. This happens to be an SoC which will boast of an octa-core CPU, where a quartet of high-performance Cortex-A72 cores are paired alongside an equal number of Cortex-A53 ones. There is also an Adreno 510 GPU for your graphical needs, too.

This is obviously a prototype, and it was capped at 1.4 GHz on GeekBench, so the results picked up are definitely far removed from what real world performance can deliver. It also suggests that the potential Samsung Galaxy A9 will arrive with 3GB of RAM and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop in tow. Ah well, as with all other good and decent rumors, we will simply need to wait it out for the truth to emerge.
