Samsung Galaxy S20+ Snapdragon Variant Purportedly Surfaces on Geekbench, Key Specifications Tipped

Samsung Galaxy S20+ Snapdragon variant has purportedly reached benchmark portal Geekbench just weeks ahead of its official launch. The online listing of the Samsung flagship suggests some of its key specifications, including the presence of Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. The Galaxy S20+, which was previously rumoured as the Galaxy S11+ and would debut as the successor to the Galaxy S10, is speculated to sit in the middle of the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Ultra. All three smartphones are expected to debut at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event in San Francisco, California on February 11.

The Geekbench listing features the specifications of the Samsung phone carrying model number SM-G986U. This is believed to debut as the Galaxy S20+ Snapdragon variant for markets such as the US, Canada, and China. The spotted model number appears to have a relation with the device carrying model number SM-G986B that was spotted on Geekbench in November and is believed to be the Exynos version of the Galaxy S20+ 5G.
