When Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 888 processor earlier this week, Samsung mysteriously disappeared from the list of companies planning to use the new chipset. This led to rumors about the Galaxy S21, possibly only being launched with the Exynos 2100 processor. Now, the Galaxy S21 has once again appeared with a Snapdragon processor.
The new entry in GeekBench’s database reveals a variant of the Galaxy S21 (SM-G991U), which uses a chipset named ‘Lehina’, a codename used for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor. It seems to use an octa-core processor with a 1.8GHz base clock speed. The phone uses 8GB of RAM and seems to be running Android 11. The device scored 1,075 points in the single-core CPU test and 2,916 points in the multi-core CPU test.
