Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Pops up on Geekbench; Performance and System Specs Surface

Samsung has the next generation of foldable phones lined up for launch in August. And just as we enter the third quarter of 2021, the successor of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has been benchmarked. The scorecard is up on the popular cross-platform benchmark, Geekbench. It contains the system specifications and performance analytics for the upcoming folding flagship. 

You can find the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 on the Geekbench catalog under the model name ‘Samsung SM-F926U.’ It describes the American variant of the new Fold that adopts Qualcomm silicon. 

At its heart, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has the Snapdragon 888, built on a cutting-edge 5nm process. It works with 8GB of memory and the latest Android11-based OneUI. On its Geekbench 5 tests, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 hits 1124 points on single-core processes and maxes out at 3350 when engaging multiple cores.

From the leaked images published by the renowned phone leaker, @Onleaks, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has a slimmer, more polished design this year. The camera island of the new Samsung mobile phone 2021 has been trimmed into a pill-shaped housing. Samsung has also made the overall aesthetic softer and rounder. But the cover display retains its narrow aspect ratio.

It’s all powered by a 4400 mAh battery that can fast-charge at 25W over the wire, but also wirelessly. Galaxy Z Fold 3 is offered in 12GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB storage options. Other than the typical flagship features — IP rating, AKG-tuned stereo speakers, and NFC — the device also comes with support for the iconic S-pen. Lastly, the Z Fold 3 will be priced 20% cheaper than its predecessor.
