Geekbench results for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, powered by the Exynos 2500 chipset, reveal disappointing performance scores. The single-core score of 2012 and multi-core score of 7563 lag significantly behind competitors like the Snapdragon 8 Elite and even Apple's A14. This raises concerns about Samsung's reliance on Exynos, especially with the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, which is also slated to use Exynos. The underwhelming performance casts doubt on the future of Exynos and may lead to higher prices for Samsung phones due to potential Qualcomm price hikes.
