Why the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Matters for Tech Enthusiasts in North East India
With the anticipated launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 range just around the corner, the tech world is abuzz with leaks and rumors. Among these, the Geekbench results for the Galaxy S26 Ultra have caught our attention, providing a sneak peek into the performance of Samsung's most powerful flagship.
Expected Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 Confirmed
It comes as no surprise that Samsung would equip its latest S-range phones with the newest model of Snapdragon processors. The US models of the Galaxy S26 Ultra are now confirmed to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 5, as shared by Samsung leaker Ice Universe via Phone Arena.
Strong Results, Yet Behind OnePlus 15
As expected, the Galaxy S26 Ultra's benchmark results show a significant upgrade over the S25 Ultra's performance. However, it falls slightly behind the OnePlus 15's benchmarks, a Chinese competitor known for pushing hardware to its limits. Despite this, the S26 Ultra still remains within striking distance.
Rumors Debunked: Exynos Chipset Unlikely to Surpass Snapdragon This Year
Previously, there was hope that this year might see Samsung's Exynos chipset surpass Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. Leaked benchmarks suggested that the Exynos 2600 could potentially achieve this.

As one of the leading smartphone manufacturers globally, Samsung's flagship models set a benchmark for the industry.
