Samsung Galaxy M36 Surfaces on Geekbench Featuring Exynos 1380 SoC and 6GB RAM
The Samsung Galaxy M36 has recently surfaced on Geekbench, revealing some key details about its internals, including its chipset, RAM configuration, and the version of Android it will run. Although Samsung has not officially confirmed the device yet, the Galaxy M36 is expected to be the successor to the Galaxy M35 5G, which launched in India in July 2024. It is anticipated to feature an Exynos 1380 chipset and offer up to 8GB of RAM, building on the specifications of its predecessor. The Galaxy M35 launched with Android 14-based One UI 6, and it is likely that the M36 will debut with a similar Exynos chipset.
As per the Geekbench listing, the Galaxy M36 carries the model number SM-M366B, which suggests that it will be the global variant of the device. The benchmark shows an octa-core processor with four high-performance cores running at 2.40GHz and four efficiency cores at 2.0GHz, indicating that the Exynos 1380 will be the processor powering this handset. This is the same chip that powered the Galaxy M35, ensuring continuity in performance between the two models.
The Geekbench data also confirms that the Galaxy M36 will come with at least 6GB of RAM and will run Android 15 with One UI 7 on top. When tested, the phone scored 1,004 in the single-core and 2,886 in the multi-core tests, reflecting solid performance levels. These scores are comparable to what we’ve seen in the Galaxy M35, indicating that the new M36 might feature similar capabilities to its predecessor. Given that the Galaxy M35 shared specifications with the Galaxy A35 5G, there is a possibility that the Galaxy M36 might also share some similarities with the Galaxy A36 5G, which launched in India earlier this year.
The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G, which offers a 6.7-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Victus+ Glass protection, could serve as a benchmark for the M36’s display and design. The A36 5G also includes a robust camera setup, featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 5-megapixel macro camera, in addition to a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. With an IP67-rated water and dust resistance and a powerful 5,000mAh battery supporting 45W fast charging, the M36 could follow a similar feature set.
