Samsung is expected to launch a phone running Android 11 out of the box soon. The phone, according to a leak, will launch under the Galaxy M series.
The source of the info is Android Police’ Max Weinbach and he revealed in a tweet that an unreleased M series phone for India will launch with Android 11. The phone which has the model number “SM-F127G” will be powered by the Snapdragon 460 Mobile Platform.

Yes, we know the phone’s model number points at it launching under the Galaxy F series but Max’s statement means the device will also launch under the Galaxy M series. The Galaxy F41 is practically the Galaxy M31 with one less camera and this upcoming Galaxy M phone may also only slightly differ from the Galaxy F variant.
Samsung shipping the phone with Android 11 is a big deal since most manufacturers are still shipping phones, including flagships, with Android 10. This phone should also be an alternative to the OnePlus Nord N100 which is also powered by the Snapdragon 460 but runs Android 10 and will get Android 11 as its only OS upgrade.
There is no info on when the phone will be announced but we expect more details to surface in the coming weeks.
