For the longest time, flagship chipsets like the Snapdragon 888 and the ones before it were reserved only for the premium smartphones and those that commanded a competitive pricing while retaining other high-end features, like the Galaxy S20 FE. Samsung could change that with the launch of the upcoming Galaxy M52 5G, which could be the Korean giant’s first mid-ranger to tout a flagship SoC.

An upcoming Galaxy smartphone with the model code SM-M526BR was spotted by GalaxyClub in Geekbench. What is significantly out of the ordinary is how the specification details of the smartphone mention the Qualcomm ‘lahaina’ processor, which is the codename for the Snapdragon 888. The model code SM-M526BR is the upcoming Galaxy M52 5G that Samsung aims to release in Europe, but it is a mid-ranger, not a flagship, so why is a Snapdragon 888 mentioned in the benchmark?
