Samsung SM-G9600 and SM-G9650 spotted at Geekbench with possible Snapdragon 840 and 845 SoCs

In March this year, Samsung launched their new flagships Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus with infinity displays and other top-end specifications. The company is now gearing up for the launch of their new Galaxy Note series flagship Galaxy Note 8 but now, out of no where, two new Samsung devices has just been spotted listed at Geekbench benchmark database that reveals the possible Snapdragon 840 and 845 SoCs that are still not launched by Qualcomm. By looking into the specs at Geekbench, these device are expected to be the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus but it might be too early to say that. The Galaxy Note 8 is already rumored to launch with Snapdragon 835 processor but we might see the device launching with one of these new Snapdragon 840 or 845 SoCs. We have to wait for the confirmation of that though.
