What this hardware actually means
Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.
Platform & performance positioning
The samsung SM-G996B reports its platform as Exynos 2100. The CPU configuration is 8-core, Cortex-X1 Cortex-A78 Cortex-A55, running up to 400 - 2912 MHz. The GPU is ARM Mali-G78. Without a confirmed SoC tier mapping for this platform string, we treat the device as unverified. If you're using this entry to compare against a phone you're inspecting, focus on the raw fields below rather than tier-level conclusions.
Day-to-day workload
8 GB LPDDR5 of RAM is comfortable for modern apps and moderate multitasking. Display resolution is 2400x1080.
This record reflects Android API level 35 (15). Android 14 or newer — modern security baseline, supported by all current banking and payment apps.
Trust & buying notes
For a second-hand purchase, also verify the security patch date is no more than ~12 months old, the boot count is plausible for the claimed age, and battery health is above 85%.
