Geekbench: Upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip fails to beat OnePlus 7 Pro performance

As is the case with soon-to-be-released smartphones, the Geekbench scores of Samsung’s first clamshell foldable smartphone dubbed Galaxy Z Flip have surfaced online.

According to leaked Geekbench scores of Samsung SM-F700N, which is the model number of Galaxy Z Flip, the smartphone lags behind last year’s one of the most well-received smartphones OnePlus 7 Pro, which is powered by Snapdragon 855 as opposed to Snapdragon 855 Plus, which powers the Galaxy Z Flip.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip manages a single-core score of 725 and a multi-core score of 2,610 on Geekbench 5. For the sake of comparison, OnePlus 7 Pro managed a single-core score of 729 and a multi-core score of 2,679 on Geekbench 5. While the difference is not that much, it’s worth noting that the 7 Pro runs on Snapdragon 855 and Z Flip is based on last year’s most powerful Qualcomm processor, Snapdragon 855 Plus.

The Geekbench data also confirmed the 8GB RAM and Android 10 OS alongside Snapdragon 855 Plus processor.
