The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge has appeared in the Geekbench database, revealing its use of Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset. The device posted notable results — 3,393 points in single-core and 11,515 in multi-core tests. It runs on Android 16, features 12 GB of RAM, and is equipped with Adreno 840 graphics.
The processor follows a «2+6» core configuration, combining high-performance cores clocked at up to 4.74 GHz with efficiency cores reaching 3.63 GHz. These speeds are made possible by TSMC’s 3 nm N3P process, which improves power efficiency. However, insiders report that in testing, the Galaxy S26 Edge’s performance cores were running at 4.0 GHz, which may have slightly impacted the benchmark scores.
On AnTuTu, this chip has already reached around 3.8 million points — a 40.7% increase over the previous Snapdragon 8 Elite leader. Still, Geekbench scores don’t capture sustained performance under prolonged load, meaning real-world results in gaming or demanding tasks will depend on thermal management and throttling.
The Galaxy S26 Edge is expected to feature a 6.7-inch display in a slim body. Higher benchmark results may follow in future tests, especially from the flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra. Qualcomm is set to officially unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 at the Snapdragon Summit on September 23.
