A benchmark surfaced last week confirming that, like the North American model, the International variant of the wouldn’t bundle a Samsung-made Exynos CPU, and now we have even more evidence supporting that claim in the form of a reference to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 — the CPU on the North American version of the — in the handset’s firmware.
The folks at XDA-Developers conducted a thorough analysis of the combination firmware for the International model of the Galaxy Fold (SM-F900F) and uncovered a reference to SM8150 — the internal model name for the . Intrigued by the discovery, they then attempted to track down a slither of code pertaining to the Exynos 9820 but were unable to do so.
This claim is further corroborated by a revelation we made back in January, when that the Galaxy Fold will be available in two core models: one with LTE and one with 5G. To be clear, though, the information we received states that the 5G model will hit the shelves in South Korea — there’s no word on whether it will launch elsewhere, like the United Kingdom and the United States.
It’s slower than the Galaxy S10+ on paper
In a , the Galaxy Fold racked up a score of 3418 in the single- and 9703 in the multi-core test. The Snapdragon model of the , for comparison, came in with 4258 in the single- and 10,099 in the multi-core, meaning it’s a lot faster than the Fold — on paper, at least. But that could be because Samsung’s first foldable was running unoptimized pre-release firmware.
