Samsung’s A-series usually gets a predictable refresh every year. The 2025 Galaxy A56, for instance, will get a successor in 2026 in the form of the A57.

However, the company hasn’t touched its Galaxy A7x series in years. The last model in the series was Galaxy A73 from 2022, and Samsung never followed it with A74 or A75. Now, it looks like Samsung may finally be preparing a comeback.

A new Samsung device with the model number SM-A776B has surfaced on Geekbench, and the label strongly hints that this could be the long-awaited Galaxy A77. Samsung’s model numbers almost always follow a pattern, and this one fits perfectly into the A7x family.

What makes the listing more interesting is what’s inside the phone. The benchmark entry shows a new Exynos chipset with a GPU from its flagship Exynos 2400 chip. 

The SoC has three high-performance cores clocked at 2.78GHz, three mid cores at 2.30GHz, and four efficiency cores running at 1.82GHz. And for graphics, it uses the Xclipse 940. The tested unit also features 8GB of RAM and is running Android 16.

In terms of raw performance, the Galaxy A77 prototype achieves 1,673 points in single-core and 5,597 points in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6. Those are strong numbers for a mid-range device, putting it closer to upper-tier phones than typical A-series models.

It’s still too early to know when or if Samsung will officially revive the A7x lineup, but this leak suggests that the company hasn’t forgotten about the segment. And if the Galaxy A77 really ships with this new Exynos chip, Samsung might finally bring some flagship-level features back into its upper mid-range phones.
