Samsung has another M-series phone in the pipeline, and the chip inside is the odd part. A device carrying the model number SM-M676K surfaced on Geekbench this week running the Exynos 2200, the same silicon that powered the Galaxy S22 in 2022 and got a second life in the S23 FE. Samsung’s numbering scheme points to this being the Galaxy M67.
The K suffix marks a South Korean test unit, and tipster Abhishek Yadav says Indian and global versions are expected under different suffixes. That would follow the usual pattern. Samsung only just put the Galaxy M47 5G on sale in India with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, so the M67 sitting above it makes sense.
The listing shows 8GB of RAM and Android 17, which means One UI 8.5 in all likelihood. The phone posted 1,589 in single-core and 3,923 in multi-core on Geekbench 6. An earlier sighting of the same model logged 1,435 and 3,744, lower numbers, though that’s normal for pre-release firmware getting tuned between runs.
Quick refresher on the chip itself. It’s a 4nm part with one Cortex-X2 prime core at 2.8GHz, three A710s at 2.52GHz and four A510 efficiency cores at 1.82GHz, paired with the Xclipse 920 GPU built on AMD’s RDNA 2. First phone GPU with hardware ray tracing, for whatever that was worth in 2022. Its reputation for running warm hasn’t faded either. Forum threads under the leak are already asking why Samsung reached for this instead of a newer mid-range Exynos.
M-series phones usually borrow their spec sheets from a Galaxy A twin. This one doesn’t seem to have an obvious counterpart, which is part of why it’s drawing attention. Samsung hasn’t confirmed the phone, there’s no launch window, and nothing yet on markets beyond the series’ usual footprint in India and other Asian regions. More certification sightings should fill in the gaps.
