Samsung Rumored to Launch Camera-Centric Galaxy F-Series in India Next Month
Sep. 15, 2020Samsung is reportedly prepping to launch a new camera-centric smartphone lineup in India. The Korean giant will make the devices available under a new‘Galaxy F’series moniker, according to a91mobilesreport citing industry sources.
The devices part of the Galaxy F series will bepriced between Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000. Moreover, the report mentions that the first phone in Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy F series will launch next month.
Samsung is planning to initially limit the Galaxy F series to the online segment, much like Xiaomi’s Poco or its own M-series. The South Korean smartphone giant, however, may bring the device to the offline smartphone market in the future.
A separateSammobilereport spotted what could be the first phone under the Galaxy F series, the Galaxy F41. We don’t where the initial 40 models went. The device bears the model number SM-F415F. While it was earlier suspected to be a foldable phone, a Wi-Fi Alliance listing reveals that the device could have almost the same specifications as theGalaxy M31.
In case you’re out of the loop, Samsung launched theGalaxy M31earlier this year with a 64MP quad-camera setup, 6.4-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED display, Exynos 9611 chipset, up to 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, and a 6,000mAh battery.
Going by these, Samsung will probably launch the Galaxy F41 by improving the camera setup present in the Galaxy M31. Galaxy M series is one of thekey revenue sourcesfor Samsung India. Hence, seeing the company expand on the same strategy doesn’t really come as a surprise but we will have to wait and see if the camera of the Galaxy F series comes close to Samsung flagships.
