Samsung may bring back the best Galaxy A mid-ranger that it killed off years ago
After Samsung quietly retired its Galaxy A7x line following the 2022 release of the Galaxy A73, the tech world is buzzing again. A new mid-range device with the model number SM‑A776B appeared on Geekbench, and according to naming conventions, that’s likely the long-rumored Galaxy A77, signaling a revival of the A7x series. The benchmark listings show the phone running Android 16 with 8 GB of RAM, but the real head‑turner is the chipset: an unannounced Exynos processor with a deca-core CPU configuration (three cores at 2.78 GHz, three at 2.30 GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.82 GHz) paired with a Xclipse 940 GPU — the same GPU used in Samsung’s Exynos 2400/2400e flagships.
Performance-wise, the A77 prototype reportedly scored 1,673 points in single-core and 5,697 in multi-core on Geekbench 6, putting it ahead of the current Galaxy A56 and potentially challenging even the lower‑end “FE” flagships. Analysts suggest this phone may be Samsung’s answer to a growing gap between its upper‑mid-range A-series and entry-level S‑series, with the A77 positioned above the rumored Galaxy A57 but below a possible S25 FE. However, not everyone is sold — some reports claim the Geekbench listing is manipulated, alleging the test was run on a rooted Galaxy S24 FE made to appear as a new model, casting doubt on whether the A77 is real.
