Galaxy M67 could revive Samsung's Exynos 2200 flagship chip

Samsung is preparing the Galaxy M67 5G, and a fresh Geekbench leak points to an unusual processor choice. According to the test, the mid-range phone could use the Exynos 2200, Samsung's 2022 flagship chip previously found in the Galaxy S22 and later in the Galaxy S23 FE. That would be an uncommon move for the Galaxy M series, whose models are usually close to devices from the Galaxy A line.

The Exynos 2200 is built on a 4nm process and combines one Cortex-X2 core clocked at up to 2.8GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores at up to 2.5GHz and four efficient Cortex-A510 cores at up to 1.8GHz. Graphics are handled by the Xclipse 920 GPU based on AMD RDNA 2 architecture with hardware-accelerated ray tracing. In Geekbench 6, the Galaxy M67 5G scored 1,589 points in single-core and 3,923 points in multi-core.

Despite its flagship roots, the Exynos 2200 is no longer an automatic winner against modern mid-range chips. It can remain competitive in single-core workloads, while newer processors may pull ahead in multi-core tasks. Its advantage will therefore depend on the specific use case.

The tested Galaxy M67 5G configuration lists 8GB of RAM and Android 17. Other specifications remain unknown, including the display, cameras, battery, launch date and price. A benchmark appearance often suggests that development is nearing completion. If the leak is accurate, the Galaxy M67 could become an unusual mid-range option, although the Exynos 2200 should not be expected to match current flagship performance.
