Samsung launched the Galaxy A56 in March, and the company is now working on its successor, the Galaxy A57. A prototype A57 ran Geekbench earlier today, and, as always, this has revealed the chipset that’s powering it.

It’s the Exynos 1680, the successor to the Exynos 1580 in the Galaxy A56. The new chip is clearly still in the testing phase, so don’t take the results too seriously. For what it’s worth, it managed a single-core score of 1,311 and a multi-core score of 4,347 in Geekbench 6.5 for Android.
The Galaxy A57 that ran the benchmark had 12GB of RAM, and ran Android 16. The A56’s top trim also came with that amount of memory, while launching with Android 16 in early 2026 is, of course, a given.
The CPU inside the Exynos 1680 SoC appears to have one Prime core clocked at up to 2.91GHz, four performance cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz, and three efficiency cores clocked at up to 1.95GHz.
The main difference versus its predecessor seems to be that the 1680 has one extra performance core and one less efficiency core, while the clocks haven’t changed. That is, of course, if this isn’t just an engineering prototype SoC that may get different specs when it launches. We’ll have to wait and see.
