Samsung Galaxy A24 4G won't pack an Exynos 7904 SoC, Geekbench listing confirms

After taking the wraps off the Galaxy A14 5G earlier this month, it looks like Samsung is gearing up to unveil a 4G variant of another A-series smartphone dubbed the Galaxy A24.

Ahead of the launch, the Samsung Galaxy A24 4G has passed through the Geekbench benchmarking website. Notably, the upcoming handset carries model number SM-A245F on the benchmark database.

As expected, the Geekbench 5 benchmark listing sheds some light on the Galaxy A24 smartphone's key specs as well. To recap, the handset's specifications were recently leaked (via The Pixel).

According to a past leak, the Galaxy A24 will pack an Exynos 7904 processor. However, the Geekbench listing has put this speculation to rest by confirming the presence of a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC.

Furthermore, the Geekbench 5 benchmark database reveals that the upcoming A-series phone scored 561 points in Geekbench's single-core round of benchmark tests.

Likewise, the listing shows that the Galaxy A24 4G scored 1943 points in the benchmarking website's multi-core round of tests. The listing confirms the handset will use an octa-core CPU that has a 2 + 6 core configuration.

The processor has 8 cores, with 2 cores clocking at 2.20GHz. This could be performance cores. The rest of the 6 cores click at 2.0GHz, which suggests they are efficiency cores.

This is a major sign that the Galaxy A24 4G will be the first Samsung smartphone to use a MediaTek Helio G99 processor. Under the hood, it will pack a Mali G57 GPU as well.

Samsung is more likely to use an Helio G99 processor to power up its upcoming A-series phone than rely on a 4-year-old Exynos 7904 chipset. According to the Geekbench listing, the Galaxy A24 will ship with 4GB of RAM.

Samsung could announce a 6GB RAM variant at the launch event. Lastly, it might run the latest Android 13 OS.
