Samsung is seemingly launching a 5G smartphone under the Galaxy M lineup soon. Early reports indicate that the device could be called Galaxy M42 5G and it could take hints from the already available Galaxy A42 5G. Now, the former has appeared on Geekbench.

A Samsung smartphone with model number SM-M426B appears on Geekbench 5 benchmarking database. As per the benchmark listing, the device in testing features a 4GB RAM, Android 11 OS, and has a Qualcomm chipset running at a base frequency of 1.8GHz.

When looked upon the source code, the chipset has the Adreno GPU 619 GPU and this suggests that it is the Snapdragon 750G chipset. As for the device, its official support page has already gone live in India and it might launch as the Galaxy M42 5G as mentioned above.

Further, it has already gone through other certifications like the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, and others like India’s BIS. Of course, the naming isn’t confirmed yet, but looking at the model number, there is a possibility for it coming as Galaxy M42.

Samsung is said to bring a lot of other midrange 5G devices and the Galaxy M42 isn’t the only one. Apparently, it is said to be working on the Galaxy M62 5G, and an ODM-made Galaxy A22 5G device. Out of this, we don’t know which is going to launch first in India just yet.

As for specs, it could feature a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, quad-cameras with a 64MP primary camera, 32MP selfie camera, 6,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, MicroSD, One UI 3.1, and more.

Let’s wait and see how long Samsung takes to make the device official in India.

Samsung hasn’t yet brought the 5G devices to India under the budget or mid-range segment for that matter. The closest example would be the Galaxy A52 4G which launched as a 5G device in certain markets outside India. That should change later in 2021 according to previous reports. Accordingly, a support page for the Galaxy M42 5G has gone live in India.

A new support page for an upcoming Samsung smartphone has gone live in India. This device has the model number SM-M426B/DS. Here, the DS generally notes that it’s the Dual SIM variant. If you recall, this device has already been certified at the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, and others like India’s BIS.

This model number coincides with the Galaxy A42 5G(SM-A426B) that launched in European markets last year. Hence, the device, under Galaxy M42 5G moniker, could share some of the design, specs from the Galaxy A42 5G.

However, the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G should have certain tweaks like the 64MP primary camera instead of the 48MP shooter, 6,000mAh battery instead of 5,000mAh on the A42 5G, 32MP selfie camera, and more. Speaking of similarities, the Galaxy M42 5G could feature a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED HD+ Infinity-U display.

Under the hood, it can very well have the Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage options. We can expect other specs like Bluetooth 5.0, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, MicroSD slot for expansion up to 1TB, run latest One UI 3.1, and more.

Let’s wait for the official confirmation regarding the device from Samsung which is expected to come out in the near future.
