The Samsung Galaxy A7x series, which has been missing in action since the Galaxy A73 in 2022, appears poised for a revival. Recent Geekbench findings reveal a new Samsung device, likely the Galaxy A77, sporting a model number that suggests the A7x line is making a comeback.
The device, listed with the model number SM-A776B, follows Samsung's predictable naming scheme for its mid-range and entry-level "Galaxy A" devices. Samsung labels the Galaxy A56 5G as SM-A566x, for example, so everything seems fairly straightforward.
A surprising Samsung Galaxy A77 appears in the Geekbench benchmark
The alleged Galaxy A77 was tested running on a new, unannounced Samsung Exynos SoC. This chip features a deca-core CPU in a configuration with 3 cores at 2.78GHz, 3 at 2.30GHz, and 3 at 1.82GHz.
Another notable detail is the GPU: the Xclipse 940. This GPU is the same as the one in Samsung's previous flagship Exynos 2400/2400e chips. Therefore, the A77 could boast powerful graphics processing capabilities in the mid-range category.
More powerful than Samsung's mid-range
The device tested on Geekbench ran Android 16 and included 8 GB of RAM. This clearly indicates its mid-range nature. The hardware combination achieved a single-core score of 1,673 and a multi-core score of 5,697 in the Geekbench 6 tests.
This multi-core score represents almost a 45% jump over the Exynos 1580 found in the current Galaxy , pushing the new chip's performance very close to that of the Exynos 2400/Exynos 2400e. Although the results are comparable to the Exynos 2400, the motherboard model does not match (s5e9865 vs. s5e9945).
In any case, the Galaxy A77 appears to be targeting a segment of high-performance devices at a lower price point than the Galaxy S FE phones. The latest Galaxy S25 FE is powered by the Exynos 2400 chip, for reference.
While this initial appearance confirms a very capable hardware configuration for its segment, details regarding the official release date remain unknown. Hopefully, more information will emerge in the coming weeks.
Samsung Galaxy A57 Geekbench Listing Reveals Key Details
In related news, the upcoming Galaxy A57 was also listed on Geekbench, revealing some interesting details about its specifications, including another new Exynos chip.
The listing shows that the handset will be powered by the Samsung Exynos 1680 processor, which will be the successor to the Exynos 1580 found in the Galaxy A56 smartphone. The Exynos 1680 chipset features one prime core clocked at up to 2.91GHz, four performance cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz, and three efficiency cores clocked at up to 1.95GHz.
