Back in July, Samsung launched the Galaxy M34 5G smartphone in India. The device targeted the budget segment with a stacked spec sheet. Now, it looks like Samsung has already started working on its successor, the Galaxy M44, and the first image of the device has already leaked.

The leaked image comes from tipster Anthony(@TheGalox_), revealing that the M44 has the design language of the current Galaxy series smartphones. The back features three camera protrusions with an LED flash on the side. The back appears to be made out of plastic, and the sides could feature a flat design. Since the smartphone has only emerged on the NRRA certification, it looks like the device will launch in South Korea first, likely under the Samsung Galaxy Jump 3 name.

A previous benchmark listing has revealed that the smartphone will feature a Snapdragon 888 chip. Although it is an older chip compared to the Exynos 1280, it performs better than the Exynos in almost all aspects. It’ll be interesting to see if the global version of the smartphone will also be getting this chip.

The previous model, the Galaxy M34 5G, featured a smooth 120Hz AMOLED display and an impressive 50MP OIS-equipped main camera. In terms of performance, it packed an Exynos 1280 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, along with a hefty 6,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging. If Samsung opts to stick with this hardware for the upcoming model, it would still be a significant upgrade, especially with the inclusion of the SD888. However, in the event that the global versions do come with the SD888, we can anticipate a slight increase in price.
