Leaked benchmarks have emerged for Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.'s SSNLF upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S24, potentially positioning it as a strong competitor to Apple Inc.'s AAPL iPhone 15 Pro.
What Happened: Leaked benchmark scores for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra suggest that it could be a formidable challenger to Apple's iPhone 15 Pro powered by the A17 Pro chip.

The Korean variants of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and its base model have recorded impressive scores on Geekbench listings, reported SamMobile.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset from Qualcomm Inc. QCOM.
It has notched up a score of 2,214 in single-core and 6,744 in multi-core tests. In contrast, Apple‘s flagship iPhone 15 Pro Max has scored 2,935 and 7,207, respectively, displaying only a minor numerical advantage.
Despite this, the anticipated real-world performance difference between the two devices might be negligible. The Galaxy S24 also demonstrates significant improvements from its predecessor, with scores of 2,051 in single-core and 6,204 in multi-core tests.
While the Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to utilize the same chipset globally, there is speculation that some Galaxy S23 models in Europe could be equipped with Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chips, which are perceived as less powerful than their Qualcomm counterparts.
Why It Matters: Samsung is targeting a significant milestone with the Galaxy S24 series, aiming to ship 35 million units in 2024, a 10% increase from the Galaxy S23’s 31 million units.
This goal is underscored by the company’s commitment to incorporating AI technology, which could include generative AI features similar to ChatGPT.
An early launch for the Galaxy S24 series is planned for Jan. 17 in the US, signaling Samsung’s eagerness to compete with Apple’s iPhone 15 series directly.
The integration of AI, potentially increased shipment numbers, and the move to high-quality materials such as titanium frames all point to Samsung’s aggressive strategy to capture a larger market share.
