There's not much left before the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S25. The company itself has already confirmed that on January 22 it will finally present its new high-end mobile phones, which will immediately become the new benchmark in the Android sector. But that's not the only thing to look forward to during the evening.
It seems increasingly clear that Samsung will preview its next revolutionary mobile phone, a device that can usher in a new era of quality cell phones: the Galaxy S25 Thin. Even if we will still have to wait for its arrival in stores, since the launch will probably not take place for a few months.
Expectations are very high with the Galaxy S25 Slim, to the point that it risks taking center stage compared to its “brothers” in the range. And no wonder, because it has the potential to be Samsung's most innovative mobile in many years, with a very reduced thickness without accepting sacrifices on key aspects such as cameras or performance; In fact, the latest leak concerns this last detail.
And someone was already able to run the GeekBench test on a Galaxy S25 Slim, revealing which processor it uses and its approximate performance. According to the application log, The Galaxy S25 Slim uses a Snapdragon 8 Elitethat is, the exact same chip that the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup will likely use. In this sense, there are few surprises; The unit tested pairs the processor with 12GB of RAM, although multiple memory configurations may be available. Finally, the phone ran Android 15 with One UI 7 customization layer.
Remember that Geekbench is a “benchmark” application, which executes tasks and measures the speed at which the processor accomplishes them. It should be noted that these “criteria” do not always represent the actual performance of the device in applications and games, even less if they are made in a prototype as was the case in this case.

We say this because the results published on GeekBench can be somewhat disappointingbut they need a lot of context. More precisely, the results are 3005 points in performance with a single core and 6945 points in multi-core. These are low numbers, considering that the Snapdragon 8 Elite is the most powerful processor available for Android and has proven capable of exceeding 9,000 points in multi-core.
However, there are many possible explanations for this poor performance. It is not known under what circumstances the test was carried out, whether the mobile phone is a prototype still in development or whether other tests were being carried out at the same time. Of course, we could be pessimistic and think that The reduced thickness of the mobile affects heat dissipationwhich forces the processor to reduce the frequency, which affects performance; but it is too early to draw these kinds of conclusions, especially with a single piece of evidence like this, of unknown provenance.
