Samsung is working on the Galaxy F16 5G, as evidenced by a recent certification for sale in India by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Today the upcoming phone has been spotted in the Geekbench database since a prototype ran the benchmark.
As usual, this reveals some specs. The Galaxy F16 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, just like some versions of the Galaxy A16 5G which the F16 5G is very likely to be based upon, if we go by what happened in the past.
The chipset was paired with 8GB of RAM in the prototype that ran the benchmark, but do note that the A16 5G is also available with 4GB and 6GB, so those options could be offered for the F16 5G as well.
The final thing that the benchmark run has revealed is the fact that the F16 5G is likely to launch running Android 14 with One UI 6.x on top, which is quite disappointing seeing as how it’s not even official yet and Android 15 has been out for a few months already. Then again, Samsung is running behind its competitors this time around when it comes to update timeliness, so that may have played a factor here.
For what it’s worth, the tested prototype managed a single-core score of 678 and a multi-core score of 1,902 in Geekbench 6.3.0. If history repeats itself, then expect the only difference between the Galaxy A16 5G and the Galaxy F16 5G to be a beefier battery for the yet-unannounced model.
