Having launched the Galaxy M34, Samsung is already preparing for the launch of its next M-series phone. A recent entry into mobile benchmark software GeekBench reveals the performance metric of the upcoming Samsung smartphone. So, let’s get right into all we know about the design, rumored specifications, and expected launch date of the Samsung Galaxy M44 5G.
Samsung Galaxy M44 5G Rumors Roundup:
The Geebench reveals the single and multi-core CPU score of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy M44 smartphone among other things. Korean variant of the M44 has the model number “SM-M446K” and is powered by the “lahaina” chipset. This is the moniker carried by Qualcomm’s 2020 flagship chipset: the Snapdragon 888. And comparing the core counts and performance numbers, we can be sure that Samsung Galaxy M44 5G will have the same under its hood.
Snapdragon 888
The Snapdragon 888 is an octa-core processor announced on December 1, 2020. Fabbed under the 5nm process, this SoC has a prime Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2.8 GHz, 3 performance Cortex-A78 cores at 2.4 GHz, and 4 efficiency Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8 GHz. Alongside the CPU cores, the chip features Adreno 660 GPU and an X60 5G modem baseband.
The screenshot also reveals 5.22 GB of available memory, so the M44 5G will likely come with 6GB of RAM and 128/256 GB of storage.

The GeekBench 6.1 entry shows a single-core CPU score of 1531 and a Multi-Core score of 3771. This is better performance than the current midrange phones with Snapdragon 778G, 870 or Dimensity 1300 chipsets. So, with the right pricing, the Galaxy M44 5G could be a killer deal with best-in-class performance.Final Thoughts: Samsung Galaxy M44 5G Launch Date
