What's the story
Chinese tech giant Vivo is gearing up to launch the S6 5G smartphone in its home country on March 31.
In the latest update, the handset has been spotted on the benchmarking platform Geekbench, revealing key details about the hardware.

Details
First, a bit about Geekbench and its scores
Geekbench is a cross-platform processor benchmark platform which grades processors on their single-core and multi-core performances.
While calculating multi-core scores, Geekbench runs multiple streams of instructions simultaneously per core and reports an aggregate score. With single-core scores, the same process is applied but on a single core.
The quicker a CPU completes the instructions, the higher is its Geekbench score.
