The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to be Samsung's thinnest smartphone ever. It will reportedly launch sometime in late April 2025. While it was expected to use Qualcomm's trimmed-down 7-core CPU version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, that doesn't appear to be the case.

The Galaxy S25 Edge with model number SM-S937B was spotted (via Roland Quandt) in Geekbench's database, revealing its processor, RAM, operating system, and performance. The phone appears to be using the 8-core CPU variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It also features 12GB RAM and runs Android 15 (One UI 7.0).

The phone scored 2,806 points in Geekbench 6's single-core CPU performance test and 8,416 points in the multi-core CPU performance test.
