Samsung Galaxy M35 5G spotted on GeekBench with familiar specs
Now that the Galaxy A35 5G is officially a thing, it is frankly not particularly surprising that Samsung has an M35 5G in the works as well. The latter allegedly appeared in the GeekBench database under the SM-M356B moniker.
Just like the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A54, this new device seems to be using the Exynos 1380 chipset. It is a 5nm Samsung in-house chip with a CPU configuration consisting of four Cortex-A78 cores, clocked at up to 2.4 GHz and another four Cortex-A55 ones working at 2.0 GHz. The onboard GPU is a Mali G68. The Exynos 1380 offers support for UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR4X and LPDDR5 RAM. However, we are still unsure what type of chips are inside the Galaxy M35 5G. We do know that the unit tested on GeekBench rocked 6GB of RAM and ran Android 14. Neither of which is surprising.
Unfortunately, nothing is really confirmed specs-wise beyond this. Going off of previous M-series devices that have generally been based on their Galaxy A counterparts, we expect a very similar-size or even identical 6.6-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Probably a similar flatter middle frame design. Also, it is quite likely that a larger 6,000 mAh battery would be featured since that has become a signature feature of the M-series. Probably expandable storage, too and likely at least an 8GB RAM variant somewhere in there. There surely will be some downgrades compared to the Galaxy A35 5G as well, probably in ingress protection, cameras and potentially the speaker setup. Most of these points are merely educated guesses on our part at this point. We will keep you posted if any new information comes out.
