Samsung Galaxy S22 spotted with One UI 7
Samsung Galaxy S22 standard model with Android 15 and One UI 7 appeared on Geekbench. It received a single-core score of 1219 and a multi-core score of 2802. However, these benchmarking scores are based on early builds of the Galaxy S22 and do not necessarily show its final performance. Currently, we can expect a major One UI 6.1 update for the Galaxy S22 series.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE seemingly features an Exynos 2400e chip in the US. It’s expected to be an underclocked variant of the Galaxy S24’s Exynos 2400. Samsung is unlikely to follow its dual-chip strategy with the next FE this year.
Exynos 2400e in US variant of Samsung Galaxy S24 FE benchmarked on Geekbench. The handset scored 1996 points in single-core and 5678 points in multi-core tests. Its main Cortex-X4 core appears to be underclocked from 3.2 GHz down to 3.11 GHz.
Do remember these are not the final performance benchmarks. The company is still working on the device, and the chipset and OS will be optimized. We expect the performance to be improved from the current state before the official debut.
Galaxy S24 FE
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S24 FE in October this year. The smartphone is said to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1900nits peak brightness. Previous FE models pack 6.4-inch sAMOLED screens.
The camera specifications are also expected to be upgraded. The Galaxy S24 FE could have a 50-megapixel primary, an 8-megapixel Telephoto, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera as well as a 10-megapixel selfie (Infinity-O) snapper.
The handset would take on Google’s Pixel 9 and Apple’s upcoming iPhone SE 2025. We guess it has seven years of OS upgrades support similar to the S24 series. Meanwhile, it will boot Android 14-based One UI 6.1 out of the box.

It seems Samsung will bring an upgraded under-display camera to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim. The company has been working on a slimmer version of the Z Fold 6, which could go official well before the Galaxy S25 series unveiling.
GalaxyClub reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim could feature a 5MP under-display camera. It’s a minor upgrade over the current 4MP sensor. However, this slight shift could result in significant improvement in the picture quality.
With the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung debuted under-display camera technology. The camera cutout becomes kind of invisible when not in use. With each generation, the company refined the functionality such as hole area and camera resolution.
Since the Galaxy Z Fold 3, the Korean tech giant has been bringing a 4MP UDC sensor. This area would finally get an upgrade, tentatively with the Slim variant. However, the handset will exclusively be available in South Korea and China.
Apart from UDC specs, the remaining camera specs of the Fold 6 Slim are yet to be known. Meanwhile, the smartphone should not have any downgrade from the standard variant such as a 50-megapixel primary shooter.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim will be around 2mm slimmer than the Z Fold 6. It could feature larger screens than the regular variant with a cover screen of 6.5-inch and an inner screen of 8-inch is rumored over 6.3-inch and 7.6-inch of Fold 6.
