Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra benchmarks leaked with underclocked speeds ahead of the February reveal. The manufacturer plans to drop three flagships in the Galaxy S26 family on February 25 during Galaxy Unpacked. Early Geekbench 6 stats for the Ultra model rocking the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 show solid power despite the handicap.
Its big cores ran at 4.20GHz, which sits below the usual 4.61GHz target. Ice Universe shared the grab, yet searching for model SM-S948U only brought up data from July. That unit packed 12GB of RAM, making fans nervous since a 16GB option remains absent from the database.
Tech heads know clock speeds drive Android scores heavily. While the six efficiency cores chilled at 3.63GHz, the two heavy lifters ran slowly. Even with the leash on, the beast managed a single-core hit of 3,466 and a multi-core total of 11,035.
Production units might crank those numbers up if the silicon hits stock frequencies later. Observers note that Geekbench only tests short bursts, which fail to show sustained heat handling. Benchmarks like 3DMark Wildlife Extreme handle that stress testing way better.
