Samsung Galaxy S6 Specs Show Up Once Again In Antutu Benchmark

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is definitely going to be one of the most popular Android smartphones of 2015, just like all the previous Samsung Galaxy flagships before it. The smartphone isn’t expected to arrive until around MWC next year, but rumors about the device started showing up since over a month now. Just last week we saw its spec-sheet laid bare in an Antutu benchmark screenshot, and today yet another Antutu benchmark screenshot has surfaced that shows off the specs of next year’s Samsung hero device. This time it looks like the screenshot has been taken from a Galaxy S6 prototype by someone who had access to the device.

The Antutu benchmark was reportedly ran on a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G925F variant running Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, the same model that leaked on Antutu last week. The CPU is reported as an 8-core ARMV8 processor with support for VFPv4 and NEON instruction set. The GPU is listed as the Mali-T760. This basically confirms the use of Exynos 7420 64-bit chipset that we had seen in the earlier Antutu leak and also mentioned in the early rumors about the Galaxy S6 by SamMobile. The display resolution is 1440 x 2560 (Quad-HD) which seems all but confirmed right now. The amount of RAM isn’t mentioned in the screenshot, but we expect it to be 3GB as we had seen in the earlier leak. The only major difference from the previous leak seems to be the rear camera. While on last week’s Antutu leak the camera was listed to be a 20MP unit, this time the screenshot reveals a 16MP unit with a maximum still resolution of 5312 x 2988. That is actually the same resolution as the Galaxy S5 camera, so at least this prototype could be using the same Samsung ISOCELL camera sensor as the Galaxy S5.

The previous Antutu leak was a little more exhaustive in terms of the amount of information revealed though. Apart from the information above, it also listed the clock speed of the Exynos 7420 chipset. Samsung will apparently be clocking the Exynos 7420 chipset between 400 and 1800MHz on the Galaxy S6. It also revealed the display size to be 5.5-inches, something that SamMobile had already mentioned in the first Galaxy S6 ‘Project Zero’ leak a few weeks back.

As with recent Samsung Galaxy flagship models, we are expecting the Galaxy S6 to be available in multiple variants as well. Some with the Exynos 7420 chipset leaked here and some with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. It is not clear which exact chipset Samsung will use, as there have been reports recently that the Snapdragon 810 chipset may see some delays. Qualcomm did make a statement a few days back saying that the rumors were inaccurate, but we still can’t be completely sure. The main highlight with the Snapdragon variants of Galaxy flagships has been the better LTE connectivity on board. But according to a recent report, the next Exynos chipset may come with LTE Cat.10 support. If that does turn out to be the case, we wonder if Samsung will sell the Exynos variants in the US market instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon variants it has traditionally been selling in the US and most European markets. What is also interesting is that the leaked model number ends with 5 instead of 0, as is usually the case with Exynos variants. Samsung usually has used model numbers ending with 5 for the Snapdragon variants so far.
