Earlier this month, we learned that Samsung is developing a new M-series smartphone, the Galaxy M35, which will be a rebranded variant of the Galaxy A35, a phone that the company launched last week. However, there was no concrete information about the existence of the device. Well, that’s changing today.
A new smartphone from Samsung, bearing the model number SM-M356B, has been spotted on Geekbench. Going by the model number, this device seems to be the Galaxy M35, which means that we have our first proof that the phone exists. What’s even better is that the listing also reveals the phone’s specs.
According to the benchmarking platform, the Galaxy M35 has a motherboard with model number s5e8835, which is tied to the Exynos 1380 chipset. So, it is safe to assume that the Galaxy M35 will have the Exynos 1380 SoC, the same processor as the Galaxy A35. The listing also revealed that the phone has 6GB RAM, which could be one of the memory configurations of the device, and that it runs on Android 14 (One UI 6.0 or One UI 6.1).
At the moment, that’s all the solid information we have on the Galaxy M35. That being said, we expect the phone to come with the same features as the Galaxy A35 except for two: the M-series device could miss out on an IP rating for dust and water resistance and could come with a larger battery pack.
