Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 crush Samsung's latest flagships in leaked benchmarks

Last year we made a Galaxy Z Fold 4 vs Galaxy S22 Ultra comparison to check how Samsung's most high-end foldable phone would do against its most premium flagship. The results showed us that the foldable was better in terms of processing power but slightly lagging behind when it came to graphics performance.

That outcome was unsurprising, as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 came with the slightly newer Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that adorned the S22 series. However, recently leaked online benchmarks point at a different story this year.

According to these tests, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have the same Samsung-exclusive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that the company's latest flagship trio comes with. The benchmark also reveals there will be a Z Fold 5 with 12GB of RAM and a Z Flip 5 with 8GB.(via SamMobile)

This specific version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is dubbed "for Galaxy," and its main core has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the regular version — 3.36GHz vs 3.2GHz.

But let's digress. Logically, having the same chipset should also mean a similar performance, but according to this leaked benchmark, the new foldables somehow manage to beat even the Galaxy S23 Ultra (one of the best Android phones for 2023 so far) by no small margin.
