- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has been benchmarked prior to release
- The results are very low for an advanced phone
- Ureters are also surprisingly low
If you expected flagship performance from Samsung’s next folding flip phone, you might be in a shock as an early Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7-Benchmark suggests that this will not worry the Samsung Galaxy S25 series or other advanced phones.
Shared by Leaker Abhishek Yadav on X (via Gsmarena) shows the reported benchmark Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 using an Exynos 2500 chipset and with 12 GB of RAM.
There has been some disagreement that the chipset Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 would use -while most sources pointed to this exynos option some others had suggested that a Snapdragon 8 -elite could possibly be used instead.
So this benchmark is more proof that we get exynos, and since the model number here is for an American version of the phone, we will probably see Exynos 2500 chips used globally (as Samsung uses different chipset in different regions, the US typically gets Snapdragon).

This year’s phone with last year’s score
In any case, it can be bad news because the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7S single-core score of 2,012 and multi-core result of 7,563 is basically a generation behind what we see from Snapdragon 8 Elite-as is the chipset used by most high-end Android phones this year.
Interestingly, as Gsmarena notes, the kernels here have much lower watches than rival chipset, which is probably a factor in the poor performance. It is not clear whether these speeds are the standard of this chipset-which has not yet appeared in any available phones or whether Samsung has reduced the speeds of Z Flip 7 to avoid heating.
Since this is an early benchmark, it is also possible that the released model will have higher watch speeds and although it does not, further optimizations prior to release can lead to improved results. But right now, by going past this one benchmark anyway, it doesn’t look like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will impress when it comes to power.
We had to find out for sure in July, as it is when Samsung probably reveals this phone – probably with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is fortunately expected to launch with the Snapdragon 8 elite instead.
