The Galaxy Z Flip7 from Samsung has appeared on Geekbench ahead of its expected launch in July, giving a glimpse of its performance. This marks the first time Samsung has used two platforms for the Z series, sparking concern over its power and efficiency.
Tipster @tarunvats33 spotted the Geekbench listing, which highlights details of the Exynos 2500 processor. The device scored 2,356 points in single-core and 8,076 in multi-core tests. For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in the Galaxy Z Flip6 scored 2,247 and 6,857 in the same tests.
The Exynos 2500 features a 10-core setup. It includes one Cortex-X925 core at 3.3GHz, two Cortex-A725 cores at 2.75GHz, five more A725 cores at 2.36GHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores at 1.8GHz. It works with 12GB of RAM and a new Xclipse 950 GPU.
This chip doesn’t match the top Snapdragon 8 Elite found in larger phones like the Galaxy Z Fold7. The Snapdragon scores around 3,200 in single-core and 10,000 in multi-core tests on the Galaxy S25.
The Z Flip7 is expected to have a 4-inch cover screen, run on One UI 8 based on Android 16, and support satellite connectivity. Still, how well the Exynos 2500 performs in real life will depend on heat management and battery life. Its compact size and foldable design make these factors especially important.
Samsung’s decision to use Exynos for the Z Flip7 is a bold move that could change expectations. Whether it can match the efficiency and cooling of the Snapdragon 8 Elite remains uncertain. But we won’t have to wait long to see how it performs in everyday use.
