Key Takeaways
1. The Galaxy A57 is rumored to be in development, following the Galaxy A56’s launch in early March 2023.
2. The Galaxy A57 will feature the Exynos 1680 processor, which has been spotted in a prototype on Geekbench.
3. The Exynos 1680 has 8 CPU cores arranged in three clusters, similar to its predecessor, the Exynos 1580.
4. The Exynos 1680 includes an Xclipse 550 GPU, which has 2 Compute Units, compared to the 4 in the previous model.
5. Performance of the Exynos 1680’s GPU is nearly comparable to the Xclipse 540, but there are no indications of an early release for the Galaxy A57.
The Galaxy A56 has been on the market for less than half a year, having launched in early March along with the more affordable Galaxy A36, which is currently priced at $374.99 on Amazon. However, rumors about a possible successor, the Galaxy A57, began to circulate this past spring.
New Information on the Galaxy A57
As reported by GalaxyClub in May, Samsung is planning to unveil the Galaxy A57, equipped with its own Exynos 1680 processor. Recently, a prototype featuring this chipset was spotted on Geekbench. For now, only a single OpenCL score has been made public, and we’ve included the evidence below.
Details on the Exynos 1680
The listing ‘Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Full Android on S5E8865 ERD’ directly connects to ‘S5E8865’, which is the codename for the Exynos 1680. From what we can derive from the listing, the Exynos 1680 consists of 8 CPU cores organized into three clusters, similar to the previous model. However, it’s best not to pay too much attention to the CPU clock speeds, as most of them are significantly lower compared to the Exynos 1580.
GPU Specifications and Performance
In addition, the same listing shows that the Exynos 1680 comes with an Xclipse 550 GPU, as reported by GalaxyClub. Currently, Geekbench indicates that this GPU has 2 Compute Units (CUs) compared to the four found in the earlier version. Still, the prototype’s performance is nearly on par with the Xclipse 540 when evaluating GPU capabilities in OpenCL. At this moment, Samsung’s usual release patterns imply that this could either be a prototype for the Galaxy A57 or a development board. There’s no sign yet that an earlier release is in the works.
