Samsung is gearing up to bring back its Galaxy A7x series after a brief hiatus, with the Galaxy A77 making an early appearance on the Geekbench database. This signals the South Korean giant’s intention to revive the lineup following the Galaxy A73’s launch in 2022.
The Geekbench listing for the Galaxy A77 prototype reveals a device equipped with 8GB of RAM and running the latest Android 16. Most notably, the smartphone is powered by a previously unannounced chipset that appears to be a variant of Samsung's Exynos 2400 series. However, based on its CPU clock speeds, this SoC positions itself as a more modest, upper-midrange option compared to the flagship-level Exynos 2400 and 2400e models.
The processor design remains deca-core, mirroring the Exynos 2400 lineup, with a combination of three Prime cores running up to 2.78GHz, three performance cores at 2.3GHz, and four efficiency cores clocked at 1.82GHz. This CPU configuration suggests the Galaxy A77 will target users who want strong performance but without the premium price tag of flagship devices.
This strategy points to Samsung repurposing lower-binned Exynos 2400 chips for devices like the A77, maximizing their utility in the competitive upper-midrange segment. Beyond the chipset and memory, no further specifications of the Galaxy A77 have been officially disclosed so far.
If the Galaxy A77 is set to launch alongside the Galaxy A57—as hinted by the latter’s recent Geekbench appearance—the two models might debut around March. We can expect more details to emerge as the launch date approaches.
