New Geekbench results have confirmed the processor that will power Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A35 smartphone. The benchmark shows the A35 utilizing the Exynos 1380 chipset.
Key Details
- Galaxy A35 (SM-A356E model) spotted on Geekbench
- Powered by Exynos 1380 processor
- 8GB RAM
- Running Android 14 and One UI 6.x
Exynos 1380 Specs
The Exynos 1380 utilizes Samsung’s 5nm EUV fabrication process. It features:
- 4x Cortex-A78 cores at 2.4GHz
- 4x Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz
- Mali-G68 GPU
This provides a multi-core performance uplift over the previous Exynos 1280 chip. The 1380 also brings minor improvements to single-core speed.

Contrast With Galaxy A55
Interestingly, the upcoming Galaxy A55 is expected to use the newer Exynos 1480 processor. This will give the A55 an edge over the A35 in graphics performance thanks to the 1480’s AMD Xclipse 530 GPU versus the 1380’s Mali-G68.
The Exynos 1380 delivers solid mid-range performance and power efficiency. But enthusiasts looking for the latest silicon may want to hold out for the A55 instead.
What to Expect
With the processor now confirmed, the Galaxy A35 will likely offer a very similar experience to the previous A34 model. Given an imminent launch, full details and specs should surface soon.
The A35 and A55 will continue Samsung’s trend of bringing premium features like smooth displays, versatile cameras, and long battery life to affordable price points.
