Samsung’s Galaxy A-Series refreshes every year in a fixed pattern. For example, the Galaxy A56 launched in 2025 is almost certain to get an upgrade in 2026 in the form of the Galaxy A57. But during this time, one series that has been missing for a long time is none other than the Galaxy A7x lineup.
Samsung last launched the Galaxy A73 in 2022. After that, the A74 and A75 never came at all. This made fans constantly question whether Samsung had permanently discontinued this premium mid-range series.
But today, a new leak has revealed the answer — Samsung may already be preparing for the return of this series. So in this article, let’s find out which new smartphone might be coming to the Galaxy A-Series and where this leak report came from.
A Mysterious Device Appears on Geekbench
A Samsung device has recently appeared on Geekbench with the model number SM-A776B. Looking at Samsung’s model number pattern, it’s not too difficult to guess that this could be the Galaxy A77, meaning the A7x series could return after 3 years.
Let me tell you, the A7x series has always been placed above the A5x series in the premium category, offering better cameras, more performance, and almost flagship-like capabilities. In such a case, the new A7x series may return soon.
New Exynos Chipset and flagship-level GPU
What makes this leak even more interesting is its hardware. This is because the Geekbench listing reveals that the SM-A776B is powered by a new Exynos processor, with a GPU directly taken from Samsung’s flagship Exynos 2400.
CPU Configuration:
- 3 high-performance cores @ 2.78GHz
- 3 mid-performance cores @ 2.30GHz
- 4 efficiency cores @ 1.82GHz
GPU:
- Xclipse 940 — the same GPU found in Samsung’s high-end Exynos 2400 chipset.
Apart from this, the tested model has 8GB RAM, and it is running Android 16. This means the device has been tested on Geekbench very recently.
Benchmark Scores: Surprisingly Strong for Mid-Range
On Geekbench 6, the Galaxy A77 (prototype) achieved the following scores:
- Single-core score: 1,673
- Multi-core score: 5,597
These scores are much higher than a typical A-series phone. This confirms that in terms of performance, the phone comes very close to the upper mid-range or entry-level flagship category. If this performance reflects in the actual model, the Galaxy A77 could become the most powerful A7x series phone ever.
Why Might Samsung bring back the A7x Series?
If we look at smartphone market trends, we can clearly see that demand for premium mid-range phones has increased in the past few years. People want phones with flagship-level performance but at a lower price.
Meanwhile, brands like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Vivo have already strengthened this segment. So for Samsung, reviving the A7x series could be a strategic move.
Possible advantages of this series:
- Better performance
- Flagship-like GPU
- Premium camera
- Strong build quality
- Long software support
- High-end features at an affordable price
Apart from this, we may see more new features in the A7x series. So, which feature would you like to see this time in the A7x series? Do share your opinion in the comments.
What to Expect Next
Samsung has not made any official announcement yet, but the Geekbench leak clearly indicates that work on this project is underway. If this device is indeed the Galaxy A77, then we may soon get more information, such as:
- New Exynos chip
- Xclipse 940 GPU
- Premium design
- Upgraded camera system
- A major entry in the 2026 A-Series
Final thoughts
The appearance of model SM-A776B on Geekbench strongly indicates that Samsung is preparing to bring back the A7x series. With a powerful Exynos chip and flagship-grade GPU, the upcoming Galaxy A77 could shake up the mid-range market.
This gives Samsung a chance to revive this series after a long time, which makes this news very exciting for fans.
