14 DAY TRIAL // We're less than a month away from Samsung Galaxy S7's official unveiling, so every piece of information we get about the flagship raises the hype, even if just for a little bit.
Every time a new high-end smartphone is about to make its debut on the market, lots of details get leaked online.
The information may be leaked in a controlled manner by the company that releases the product and wants to know consumers' opinion before it releases the smartphone.
Many of you probably got used with leaks coming from various benchmark databases. Most of the time they confirm some specs but also provide insight into the phone's hardware performance.
Since benchmark results for Samsung's Galaxy S7 have already been leaked online, it's interesting to see how Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset fairs against Samsung's powerful Exynos 8890 CPU.
The folks over at GSMArena included these benchmark results in a graphic, which might give us an idea about how fast these two Galaxy S7 versions will be regarding processing power.
Huawei Mate 8 beats both versions
As expected, the octa-core Exynos 8890 processor scored much higher (5946 points) than Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 820 CPU (4979 points).
The Qualcomm-based Galaxy S7 will be officially introduced in China and the United States, possibly in a few other countries as well.
The international version of Samsung Galaxy S7 will be available with an Exynos 8890 chipset inside, and as the benchmarks prove, it will be much faster than the Snapdragon 820 variant.
What's interesting though is the fact that Huawei Mate 8 powered by a Kirin 950 chipset beats both versions of Samsung Galaxy S7. The smartphone scored 6088 points in Geekbench 3, which puts it slightly ahead of Exynos-based Galaxy S7.
Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to be unveiled on February 21 at MWC 2016 trade fair. The smartphone should go on sale a few weeks later.
