As for the benchmark result itself, the Galaxy A15 5G achieved scores of 514 and 1464 on single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. It came with 6GB of RAM, but higher memory options will likely be available when the phone officially launches.
Other key specifications are currently undisclosed. To recap, the Galaxy A15 5G featured a 6.5-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate; up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage; and triple rear cameras including a 50MP main, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens.
