Samsung Galaxy M67 Packs a Four-Year-Old Flagship Chip

The Samsung Galaxy M67 surfaced on the Geekbench database this week running a chipset Samsung has not placed in a midrange device since 2022. The handset, listed under model number SM-M676K, appears in two separate benchmark entries that score it between 1,435 and 1,589 points on the single-core test and between 3,744 and 3,923 on the multi-core run. Both entries name the chip as the Exynos 2200, the same silicon Samsung built into the Galaxy S22 family in January 2022.

The pick breaks with Samsung’s midrange playbook. YugaTech frames the M67 as the new top of the M family, a tier that has historically drawn most of its components from the cheaper A-series rather than older flagship silicon. Samsung’s current M-line flagship, the just-launched Galaxy M47 5G, runs the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, per Gizmochina. Putting the Exynos 2200 inside an M-series phone is a different choice, and the consequences show up in both raw power and battery behavior.

What the Geekbench Listings Show

Two independent entries point to the same model number, SM-M676K, and to the same Exynos 2200 silicon inside it. MyMobileIndia captured the first run on Android 16, posting 1,435 on the single-core test and 3,744 on multi-core. A second run, picked up by the M67’s full Geekbench spec sheet and M-series context, lists Android 17 and pushes the single-core figure to 1,589 and the multi-core result to 3,923.

Both runs name the GPU as Samsung’s Xclipse 920 and confirm 8GB of RAM. Pre-release Geekbench figures can drift by the time retail firmware lands, and Samsung has not confirmed either score publicly. Still, the chipset choice is identical across the two listings, and the hardware spec block below matches in every line that both runs report.

The hardware config is identical across both entries. The “K” suffix on the model points to the South Korean variant, and tipster Abhishek Yadav told the leaked Exynos 2200 scores and CPU breakdown that Indian and global variants are also in development.

By the numbers: launched January 2022 · 4nm EUV process · peak prime-core clock 2.80GHz · Xclipse 920 GPU with hardware ray tracing · 8GB RAM · top multi-core score on the M67 listing: 3,923.

Samsung Puts a 2022 Flagship Chip in Its M-Series

The Exynos 2200 has spent the last two years inside Samsung’s flagship phones. SammMobile’s spec sheet dates the chip to January 2022 and lists its launch vehicles as the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. The same chip resurfaced a year later in the Galaxy S23 FE. Samsung has not placed the Exynos 2200 in an A-series or M-series device on its public spec sheet, and YugaTech treats the M67 as the first such detour.

Samsung’s midrange roadmap and the rumored flagship M67 argues the chip still beats most 2026 midrange rivals on raw performance, even judged by the standards of the current chip cycle. YugaTech describes the device as the pinnacle of the M family, and Samsung’s current M-series flagship, the Galaxy M47 5G, ships with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. The M67 swaps a 2026 midrange chip for a four-year-old flagship one.

The M67 prioritizes raw CPU and GPU power, and that carries cost in efficiency. M-series phones have historically sold through Amazon India and similar retail channels in India and select Asian markets. GSMArena’s M67 write-up names only South Korean, Indian, and global variants as in development. A budget-tier price tag would turn the Exynos 2200 into the marketing story.

What the Exynos 2200 Still Delivers

The 4nm Exynos 2200 has a tri-cluster CPU with a top speed of 2.80GHz on the Cortex-X2 prime core, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.52GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores at 1.82GHz. SammMobile’s spec sheet, accessed at the Exynos 2200 chipset specs and launch timeline, also lists 200-megapixel single-camera support, 8K video recording at 30fps, 4K capture at 120fps, LPDDR5 memory, and UFS 3.1 storage. The Xclipse 920 GPU, built on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture, was the first mobile GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing when Samsung shipped it in 2022.

• Hardware ray tracing, the first-of-its-kind mobile GPU feature at launch.
• Variable Rate Shading on the Xclipse 920.
• 8K video capture at 30fps and 4K at 120fps, per the spec sheet.
• Up to 200-megapixel single-camera support.
• Dual-core NPU for on-device AI workloads.

Those capabilities go past what Samsung has typically shipped in M-series phones, which have carried Snapdragon 6-class silicon and lower-spec camera stacks. The M67 inherits flagship-era camera ceilings and a GPU that supports ray tracing, both of which sit above the bar Samsung has set for the category.

Where 2026 Midrange Silicon Has Moved

The M67 enters a midrange field that has not stood still. Samsung’s own current M-line option, the Galaxy M47 5G, ships with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, per Gizmochina’s coverage of the M67 leak. That is the chip tier Samsung usually fills this category with.

One spec the rivals do not match: a mobile GPU with hardware ray tracing. SammMobile’s Exynos 2200 page still lists that feature as the chip’s standout, four years on. Samsung has not said whether Android game developers have shipped titles that actually target the feature, and the answer to that question shapes how much the GPU matters in a midrange phone.

For context on what Samsung’s flagship silicon looks like in the same window, see what Samsung’s 2027 flagship lineup will ship in silicon: the Galaxy S27 Ultra leaks point to a 2nm Snapdragon Pro and LPDDR6 memory, a sharp step up from the recycled Exynos 2200 inside the M67.

The Efficiency Trade-Off

Every benchmark write-up on the chip flags the same asterisk. YugaTech says its only uncertainty is efficiency given the older 4nm architecture, and SammMobile’s spec sheet describes the Exynos 2200 as a 4nm EUV part with no efficiency claim over newer midrange silicon. The 4nm node was cutting edge when the chip launched in early 2022; four years later, the energy profile per task is not in the chip’s favor.

The M67’s exact battery size and charging speeds have not surfaced. In a midrange phone with a smaller cell than the S22 Ultra, the gap would surface in day-to-day endurance, the kind of metric that does not show up on a Geekbench chart. Samsung has not addressed that trade-off in any of the leaks so far, and the gap between a 2022 flagship and a 2026 midrange chip lands squarely on battery life.

What Samsung Hasn’t Confirmed

YugaTech, GSMArena, and MyMobileIndia each describe the device with hedge words: “rumors,” “speculated,” “allegedly.” Samsung has not officially named the phone, set a launch date, or shared a price. Only the model number SM-M676K, the chipset, the 8GB of RAM, and the OS version (Android 16 or 17, depending on the listing) sit on the record from the Geekbench entries themselves.

The next datapoints come from regulatory filings for India, the US, and global variants. The bigger item on Samsung’s calendar this month is Galaxy Unpacked on July 22 in London, focused on the Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra foldables, per Mashable. The M67 is expected to surface separately, through a launch that lands in India first.

India’s M-series buyers will see the device before anyone else. Buyers in markets Samsung has not historically served with M-series phones will have to wait for whatever global announcement follows once the BIS, FCC, and other filings land.
