It looks like we are close to witness the launch of the first Galaxy M 5G smartphone. The supposed Galaxy M42 5G has been appearing on several certifications, benchmarking websites and the latest one is from Near Field Communication (NFC). The India launch of the device has also been tipped.
As reported by 91Mobiles, a Samsung smartphone with model number SM-M426B/DS gets the NFC certification. If you recall, this model number is believed to be the upcoming Galaxy M42 5G and we have spotted it on Geekbench, the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, India’s BIS, and more.
In fact, Samsung India has already opened an official support page for the same. Speaking of which, Gadgetsdata(Debayan Roy) on Twitter says that Samsung will launch the Galaxy M42 5G in India by the end of April 2021.
Additionally, he says that the device will feature Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset. As mentioned above, the device appeared on Geekbench and the source code revealed that the device in testing had Adreno 619 GPU which corresponds to the 750G.
We don’t have any official renders or details regarding the features of the device just yet. However, looking at the model number, it could be similar to the Galaxy A42 5G(SM-A426B) selling in Europe. That said, reports say that the device won’t be a mere rebadged one and will have certain changes.
Accordingly, you can expect a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, quad-cameras with a 64MP primary camera, 32MP selfie camera, 6,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, MicroSD, One UI 3.1, and more.
Apart from bringing the Galaxy M42 5G, Samsung is also said to be working on bringing more 5G devices like Galaxy M62 5G, and an ODM-made Galaxy A22 5G device in the next few months.
