Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy F41 smartphone in India. The device packs in a 64MP rear camera sensor, 6,000mAh battery, and more. It goes on sale starting October 16 as a part of Flipkart’s Big Billion Day Sales and will be available at an exciting introductory price.
Design, Colors, ports
After teasing the device a while back, Samsung unveiled a new entrant of the F series of smartphones today. Design-wise, the first entrant of the F series, Galaxy F41, looks similar to the Galaxy M31. Weighing in at just 191g, the device has 8.9mm thickness. It has a water-drop style notch display on the front, and triple-rear cameras, a fingerprint sensor at the back.

The Galaxy F41 features a 6.4-inch FHD+ sAMOLED Infinity-U display. The display has a peak brightness of up to 420 nits, 110% NTSC color gamut, and 78960:1 contrast ratio. Under the hood, it is powered by the ever-existing Exynos 9611 SoC paired with a single 6GB LPDDR4x RAM. However, the storage variants are either 64/128GB.
If we turn the device back, we have the squircle layout housing three camera sensors and a flashlight. The primary sensor is a 64MP, while the other two are an 8MP ultra-wide with 123° FOV, and a 5MP sensor for live focus(depth). The selfie shooter at the front also supports live focus, smart beauty features and has a 32MP sensor.

That said, the camera features include Single take(burst mode), bokeh, filters, smart crop, and best moments for rear photo. Video mode has options like 4k(rear), Original video, hyperlapse, and boomerang. Further, connectivity options include 4G LTE with 2 SIM slots and a MicroSD slot for expansion up to 512GB. The device also has Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS for navigation.
All this is backed up by a huge 6,000mAh battery with support for 15W charging. The device runs Android 10-based One UI out of the box and sadly doesn’t come with Android 11 pre-installed. Also, Samsung’s website says the device will come with One UI 2.1 and the current stable 2.5 version. That said, we can expect One UI 3 based on the Android 11 update definitely in the future.
