A new Samsung smartphone goes online on the Geekbench benchmarking site, hinting that the company is preparing the successor to the Galaxy A80 it launched globally two years ago. The Korean company introduced the Galaxy A80 worldwide, and this fresh listing, carrying model number SM-A826S, is widely believed to be the Samsung Galaxy A82 5G.
Samsung Smartphone Goes Online on Geekbench
According to the report, the upcoming device with model number SM-A826S appears on the Geekbench certification website. It is believed this phone will be the Samsung Galaxy A82 5G and will get the Snapdragon 855+ processor, a chip that was first introduced back in 2018. The benchmark suggests the handset can be supported by Android 11 and 6GB RAM. However, the company has not shared any information about the launch, price, or features of the Galaxy A82, so these benchmark details are the only specifications available for now.

Why the Geekbench Listing Matters
Benchmarking certifications like Geekbench are often the first place an unreleased handset surfaces, since manufacturers run performance tests on prototype hardware before launch. For the Galaxy A82 5G, the appearance of the SM-A826S model number alongside the Snapdragon 855+, Android 11, and 6GB RAM gives an early look at the chipset and software the phone may ship with, even though Samsung has not confirmed anything officially.
