A new Samsung phone with model number SM-A276B has shown up on Geekbench, and GSMA IMEI database details point to that device being the Samsung Galaxy A27. The benchmark entry gives an early look at the hardware Samsung may be preparing for its next A-series model.
According to the listing, the Samsung Galaxy A27 uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip together with an Adreno 710 GPU and 6GB RAM. The tested unit was also running Android 16, which suggests Samsung is already evaluating the phone on a newer software base ahead of launch.
On Geekbench 6.6.0, the device posted a single-core score of 777 and a multi-core score of 1802. As always, benchmark numbers from pre-release hardware don’t tell the whole story, but they do help confirm the basic platform Samsung is using for this model.
IT Home notes that the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is an entry-level 5G processor Qualcomm introduced in September 2024. It uses a 4nm process and features an eight-core design with four Cortex-A78 performance cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores running at 1.8GHz.
For comparison, the current Galaxy A26 uses Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chip, so this leak points to a possible platform change for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A27. If the benchmark entry is accurate, Samsung could be positioning the new phone as another affordable 5G model with a familiar midrange formula and an updated chipset.
