Galaxy S26 Edge with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 spotted on Geekbench
While most of the recent Galaxy S26 Edge rumors are pondering over the phone's battery capacity, a new Geekbench listing seemingly has confirmed its chipset. Samsung's next thin and light device will be equipped with Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
The device appeared with the SM-S947U identifier – likely the U.S. variant of the phone and we now have our first benchmark for Qualcomm's next flagship chip. Keep in mind that this is a pre-production unit, so these scores will be higher on the final consumer version.

The upcoming flagship chipset will feature an eight-core CPU with 2x prime cores clocked @4.74 GHz and 6x performance cores running @3.63 GHz. These CPU frequencies are higher than the SD Elite's 4.32GHz and 3.53GHz. A report from last month suggested that Qualcomm is testing the SD Elite 2 with up to 4.6GHz CPU clock speed for the regular version and 4.74 GHz for the Galaxy version.
The S26 Edge achieved 3,393 single-core and 11,515 multi-core scores. These scores are slightly higher than the S25 Edge's 3,131 and 9,391 outings, representing 8% and 22% gains, respectively.
The Snapdragon Elite 2 is confirmed to launch next month.
Thanks for the tip, Zeljko!

Apple responds to Musk's lawsuit threat over the App Store
On Tuesday, we told you that Elon Musk was threatening to sue Apple over how the App Store seemingly ignores Musk's "X" and his Grok AI app. In a tweet sent to Apple, Musk asked the tech giant why "X" and Grok is never found in the App Store's list of Must-Have apps. Musk pointed out that his social media site is the number one news app in the App Store, and Grok is number five among all apps. It is also number 2 in productivity, trailing only ChatGPT. Currently, the Must-Have section contains apps like: TikTok (social media) Tinder (dating) Duolingo (language lessons) YouTube (video streaming) Bumble (dating) HBO Max (movies, television streamer) ChatGPT (AI) Hinge Dating (dating) Peacock (movies, television streamer) Audible (book and podcast streamer) Paramount+ (movies, television streamer) ESPN (sports) Snapchat (social media) Canva (AI photo, video editing) Crunchyroll (anime, music streamer) Amazon Prime Video (movies, television streamer) Twitch (live stream video games and more) YouTube Music (music streamer) LinkedIn (business networking) Dropbox (cloud-based storage) Amazon Music (music streamer) Yes, Musk feels slighted because neither "X" nor Brok is included among these 21 apps. Per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple responded to Musk's threat by saying. "The App Store is designed to be fair and free of bias. We feature thousands of apps through charts, algorithmic recommendations, and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria. Our goal is to offer safe discovery for users and valuable opportunities for developers, collaborating with many to increase app visibility in rapidly evolving categories." We should point out that neither "X" nor Grok is listed among the top 18 "Popular iPhone Apps." Nor are they among the 11 apps considered "Incredible iPhone apps," or the 31 apps under the "Editors' Choice Apps."

Musk's theory is that ever since Apple entered into a partnership with ChatGPT parent OpenAI in June 2024, Apple has favored ChatGPT over other AI apps. However, that argument has been shot down, ironically, by "X" members who pointed out that ChatGPT competitor DeepSeek topped the App Store at the start of this year. Perplexity did the same last month in India's App Store. Both of these events took place well after Apple agreed to partner with OpenAI.
