Over there it is referred to as Galaxy Leap 3, nevertheless it needs 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 offers it away as an M44 beneath one other identify.
The design is strictly 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 precise 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 remainder.
All par for the course, then. What is not in any approach typical to see in such a tool is the chipset it is powered by – the Snapdragon 888. That SoC was launched in 2020, and we are able to solely assume that Samsung had a couple of mendacity round gathering mud in a warehouse someplace and eventually determined to place them to good use now.
