On the Geekbench listing, the phone scores 4472 points in single-core tests and 10387 points on multi-core tests.
Highlights:
- Samsung Galaxy S10+ with Exynos 9820 spotted on Geekbench
- It scores similar to what the S10+ with Snapdragon 855 scored on Geekbench
Last month, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 was spotted on Geekbench. It scored 3413 points in single-core tests and 10256 points on multi-core tests. Now, the phone has again been spotted on the benchmarking platform running on the company's own Exynos 9820 mobile platform. According to the latest listing, the scores are more-or-less same as we have seen in the previous one.
The phone with Exynos processor is seen scoring 4472 points in single-core tests and 10387 points on multi-core tests. The scores also suggest that the Samsung is catching up with Apple’s A12 Bionic chipset that currently powers its latest series of iPhones: the iPhones XS, the iPhones XS Max, and the iPhones XR. Samsung will unveil the phones at an ‘Unpacked’ event in San Francisco on February 20.
The three US variants of the phone have already got a certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Reports have suggested that Samsung will also be launching a 5G variant of the phone in select markets, including the US. There hasn’t been any concrete proof of the device, and since it is reported to launch at a later date this year, it is possible that Samsung will get the approval for the 5G variant in the coming months.
According to the documents published, the FCC has approved phones with model numbers SM-G970U, SM-G973U and SM-G975U. These model numbers correspond to the Galaxy S10e or S10 Lite, the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+ respectively. Samsung generally launches its flagship devices with different chipsets in the US. While in Asian countries it uses an indigenously developed Exynos processor, in the US Samsung’s flagships are powered by Qualcomm SoCs.
The FCC listing also mentioned that all or some variants of the phones may also support the reverse wireless charging feature that can wirelessly charge other compatible devices like handsets and watches that have wireless charging support. The filing has a document titled “Wireless Power Transfer”, which mentions that the Galaxy S10 can “receive or transmit an AC power signal through magnetic induction (MI) or magnetic resonance (MR).”
