Samsung is gearing up to release its next mid-range phone, the Galaxy A57, and the first signs of the device have already surfaced in the Geekbench database. The handset appeared under a codename, but the listing gave away a key detail: a new Exynos 1680 chipset set to replace the Exynos 1580 used in the Galaxy A56.
In early benchmarking, the Galaxy A57 prototype posted 1,311 points in single-core and 4,347 in multi-core tests. Those numbers shouldn’t be read as final—the device is still in the early testing phase. The unit in question carried 12 GB of RAM, the same ceiling as the top Galaxy A56 variant, and it ran Android 16, which tracks with a 2026 launch window.
According to Geekbench, the Exynos 1680 features one Prime core up to 2.91 GHz, four performance cores up to 2.6 GHz, and three efficiency cores up to 1.95 GHz. Versus the Exynos 1580, the newcomer adds one performance core and trims one efficiency core, with clock speeds seemingly unchanged. It looks like a subtle shift toward higher sustained performance rather than pure frugality, though this could still be an engineering sample and the final specifications may change.
There’s no official launch date for the Galaxy A57 yet, but leaks and early tests suggest Samsung is moving quickly and could introduce the model in the first half of 2026.
