Samsung has simply made the Galaxy M44 official for its residence market of South Korea, although not underneath that title. Over there it is known as Galaxy Bounce 3, but it surely needs to be the identical telephone that we’ll (hopefully) quickly see internationally because the M44 – the “M44” a part of the SM-M446KZKAKTC mannequin quantity offers it away as an M44 underneath one other title.
The design is precisely what you’d count on from a Samsung mid-ranger in late 2023, with three digital camera circle-islands on the again and a round LED flash to the fitting in between the topmost and the center cameras. The display has a V or U formed notch (we nonetheless cannot inform the distinction) and a considerably thicker backside bezel than the remainder.
All par for the course, then. What is not in any method normal 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 a number of mendacity round accumulating mud in a warehouse someplace and at last determined to place them to good use now.

Those that aren’t followers of the Exynos 1xxx line will certainly breathe a sigh of aid, as even when the 888 is three years previous, it was the highest-end chip of its time within the Android world, so efficiency needs to be greater than you’d usually count on from an M4x gadget.
The Galaxy M44 launched in South Korea pairs that chip with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, a 6.58″ 1080×2408 PLS LCD display with 120 Hz refresh charge, a 50 MP major rear digital camera flanked by two 2 MP sensors, a 13 MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000 mAh battery.
