Is Samsung finally bringing a successor to the Galaxy A73?

[phillynews215]

Samsung ended the Galaxy A7x series after the launch of the Galaxy A73, and it has been three years since. However, it appears that the company might have had a change of heart, as the first signs of the Galaxy A77 have appeared online. It could launch next year.



Galaxy A77 could succeed Galaxy A73, featuring a high-end Exynos chip



An unannounced Samsung phone with model number SM-A776B was spotted in Geekbench's database today. Based on the company's naming scheme, the phone would be called the Galaxy A77 if it is launched. Geekbench is one of the world's most popular CPU performance benchmarking tools for mobile devices and PCs, and it captures key details of devices during the benchmark.








As you can see in the screenshot above, the Galaxy A77 appears to be using an Exynos chip (S5E9865) designed by Samsung's System LSI division. It has a 10-core CPU, feautring six high-performance CPU cores and four power-efficient CPU cores. It also has the AMD RDNA-based Xclipse 940 GPU. The device has 8GB RAM and runs Android 16 (One UI 8.x).

• Prime CPU Cores: 3 Cores @ 2.78GHz
  
• Performance CPU Cores: 3 Cores @ 2.30GHz
  
• Efficient CPU Cores: 4 Cores @ 1.82GHz

The chip scored 1,673 points in the single-core CPU performance test and 5,597 points in the multi-core CPU performance test. These are likely not the final scores, so you shouldn't take them at face value. It looks like an underclocked Exynos 2400 chip used in the Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24 FE.



If this is not a faked Geekbench entry, the Galaxy A77 could launch in the first half of next year alongside the Galaxy A37 and the Galaxy A57. The Galaxy A57 was recently spotted in the Geekbench database using the Exynos 1680 processor and 8GB RAM, and it was running Android 16. It is also expected to feature Bluetooth 6.1 and 45W fast charging.
