Samsung just made the Galaxy M44 official for its home market in South Korea, though not under that name. It’s called the Galaxy Jump 3 there, but it’s supposed to be the same phone we’ll (hopefully) soon see internationally as the M44: the “M44” part of the SM-M446KZKAKTC model number identifies it as the M44 by another name.
The design is exactly what you’d expect from a mid-range Samsung in late 2023, with three circular camera islands on the back and a circular LED flash on the right between the top-most and center cameras. The screen has a V- or U-shaped notch (we can’t tell the difference yet) and a significantly thicker bottom bezel than the rest.
All normal, then. What is not at all normal to see in such a device is the chipset it is powered by: the Snapdragon 888. That SoC was introduced in 2020 and we can only assume that Samsung had some of them lying around gathering dust in a warehouse for some time. part. and I finally decided to put it to good use now.
Samsung Galaxy Salto 3 aka Galaxy M44
Those who aren’t fans of the Exynos 1xxx line will definitely breathe a sigh of relief, because even though the 888 is three years old, it was the highest-end chip of its time in the Android world, so performance should be higher than you’d normally expect from an M4x device.
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 screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50MP main rear camera flanked by two 2MP sensors, a 13MP selfie snapper and a 5,000mAh battery, it measures 167.7 x 78 x 9.1mm and weighs 216g.
