Samsung Galaxy foldable phones could get a big performance upgrade

Leaked Geekbench scores show a very strong performance – and give us details of the processor and other specs

If you're looking for the best foldable phone on the market, chances are you'll find yourself looking at either the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 or the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. Whether you're looking for a clamshell-style flip phone or a book-style foldable, Samsung have you covered.

After a torrent of new models – and models tipped for release soon – they're far from your only option, though. In the flip phone stakes, models like the Oppo Find N2 Flip and the Motorola Razr have brought the cost of entry to a new low, while the impending announcements of the Google Pixel Fold and the Huawei Mate X3 should add to competition for larger handsets.

It's worth mentioning again here that Geekbench testing is not a perfect science. Tests can be manipulated and data can be adjusted, so take it with a pinch of salt. 

It's also no guarantee of a great phone. To use a motoring analogy, a good Geekbench score is like putting your car on a rolling road. It will tell you the raw horsepower available, but if you can't put that power to good use, it's not worth much.

With that being said, what we know about these handsets sounds like a recipe for something pretty special. On their usual release schedule, we'd expect to see them sometime around August, so there's still a few months to wait. Expect a lot more news and leaked information to come out before then, too.
