The Galaxy M44 5G has an older, high-end Snapdragon chip from 2021. The unannounced Galaxy M55 5G will use Qualcomm’s mid-range solution from last year, according to a new benchmark finding.
The Galaxy M55, model number SM-M556B, has appeared in the online performance benchmark Geekbench 4 (via MySmartPrice). According to the listing, the phone has a “Taro” motherboard (ARM implementer 65 architecture 8, variant 2, part 3399, revision 0—to be specific). It indicates that it is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip.
Surprisingly, Samsung has never previously used the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip. The Samsung M55 could be the first to do so.

The benchmark also revealed 8GB of RAM and Android 14, implying that the Galaxy M55 will run One UI 6.
