Samsung has simply made the Galaxy M44 official for its residence market of South Korea, although not below that title. Over there it is referred to as Galaxy Bounce 3, however it ought to be the identical cellphone that we’ll (hopefully) quickly see internationally because the M44 – the “M44” a part of the SM-M446KZKAKTC mannequin quantity provides it away as an M44 below one other title.
The design is strictly what you’d count on from a Samsung mid-ranger in late 2023, with three digicam circle-islands on the again and a round LED flash to the proper in between the topmost and the center cameras. The display screen has a V or U formed notch (we nonetheless cannot inform the distinction) and a considerably thicker backside bezel than the remaining.
All par for the course, then. What is not in any approach standard to see in such a tool is the chipset it is powered by – the Snapdragon 888. That SoC was launched in 2020, and we will solely assume that Samsung had just a few mendacity round gathering mud in a warehouse someplace and eventually determined to place them to good use now.
