  • However, this launch might skipped to next month as well so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.
  • Reports reveal that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO U3 which means it could come with a Dimensity 800U chipset with 5G support. Let’s hope that Vivo doesn’t skip any further.

• Oppo A74 4G & 5G, A94 & A54 5G

  • However, anything can happen in between so let’s hope that Huawei turns tables to come back stronger.

The landing page of the Galaxy F12 at Flipkart has already revealed that it is powered by the Exynos 850. However, it does not tell the amount of RAM present inside it. The Geekbench listing states it has 4 GB of RAM. It is unclear whether it will come in a higher 6 GB RAM version. The phone is loaded with the latest Android 11 OS. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench 5, it scored 154 and 969 points, respectively.

It is mentioned on F12’s landing page at Flipkart that it is equipped with a 6.5-inch display that offers an Infinity-V notch design, an HD+ resolution, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The power button placed on the right edge of the phone is integrated with a fingerprint scanner.

It houses a 6,000mAh battery, which probably supports 15W fast charging. It is equipped with other features such as a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille.

Early renders from Onleaks revealed that Galaxy M12 will have a quad-camera setup and an LED flashlight. In fact, Steve had explicitly mentioned that the device would have up to 4 rear lenses.

We aren’t sure who would turn out right here so let’s wait for official confirmation. Anyway, the other rear lenses on the Galaxy M12, as per Nils, will likely be a 13MP ultra-wide(HI1336) and a 2MP Macro(GC02M1)sensors. Upfront, the device will have an 8MP (S5K4HA) sensor for selfies.

It’s worth noting that Nils isn’t completely sure about the ultra-wide just yet so take that with a pinch of salt. Apart from Camera sensors, the report also has leaked what could be the official wallpapers launching with the device. In case you are curious, you can download that here. For your reference, we have attached a few of them here.

On Feb. 2, Samsung will be launching the Galaxy M02 smartphone in India. It is likely that the South Korean company may announce as many as four other phones in different markets in February. The reason behind it is that the official support pages of the Galaxy F62, Galaxy F12, Galaxy A72, and Galaxy A52 5G are now live.

The support page of the Galaxy F12 had gone live on Samsung India’s website at the end of December 2020. Now, the support page of the Galaxy F62 (SM-E625F/DS) has also appeared on the same site. Last year, Samsung introduced the F-series by launching the Galaxy F41 smartphone. The handset was made available exclusively through Flipkart.

The Galaxy F12 and Galaxy F62 are also expected to be sold through Flipkart. The company may launch these phones in February in India. There is a possibility that an almost similar variant of the Galaxy F12 could be sold on Amazon India as Galaxy M12. Speaking of M-series, the Galaxy M02’s (SM-M022F/DS) support page has surfaced on Samsung Thailand’s website.

The Galaxy A72 4G’s (SM-A725F/DS) support page was spotted at Samsung Russia’s site earlier this week. Its support page with model number SM-A725M/DS has now appeared on Samsung Caribbean’s website. The Galaxy A52 5G’s (SM-A526B/DS) support page has emerged on the Austrian edition of Samsung’s site.

Earlier this month, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S21 series of flagship phones, which is now up for purchase in different markets. This Galaxy A32 5G’s support page surfaced in the first week of this month and it went official in the second week. Hence, it appears that the new F/M-series and A-series that have emerged on Samsung’s site may go official in February.

It was reported last month that Samsung started the mass production of the upcoming Galaxy M12 smartphone in India. The device may likely go official in February. Ahead of the launch, popular tipster Ishan Agarwal teamed up with 91mobiles to reveal the specifications of the Galaxy M12. The device has a model number SM-M127. Another device with model number SM-F127 has also been in the news. It is speculated that the F12 could just be a rebadged version of the M12. At the same time, both models have surfaced at the Google Play Console, which indicates that their launch may not be far away.

Samsung Galaxy M12 / F12 specifications (Rumored)

The Galaxy M12 / F12 is expected to house a 6.5-inch TFT LCD screen with an Infinity-V notch and HD+ resolution. It could be powered by the Exynos 850 chipset and 3 GB / 4GB / 6 GB of LPPDR4 RAM.

The device may come with 32 GB / 64 GB / 128 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. It has a microSD card slot for additional storage. It is expected to arrive with a 6,000mAh battery. The charging capabilities of the smartphone are under wraps. It will come with Android 11 OS.

The Galaxy M12 / F12 may sport a quad-camera setup on its back. It could be equipped with a 48-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro shooter. For selfies, it may possess an 8-megapixel front camera. It is unclear whether the phone features a side-mounted or a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. Shown above are the Google Play Console listings of the Galaxy M12 and F12 shared by @TTechnical on Twitter

Agarwal also revealed that the South Korean company is working on a handset named Galaxy A82. As the moniker suggests, it will be replacing the Galaxy A80 phone that launched back in 2019. The A82 may break cover in South Korea in the coming weeks.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy M12 and Galaxy F12 budget smartphones very soon. These devices have already leaked multiple times in the past few days. Now, they have also cleared India’s BIS certification. That means their launch could happen anytime now.

As usual, the BIS listing of these handsets does not reveal anything about them, except for their model numbers. The Galaxy M12 will bear the model number SM-M127G/DS, whereas the Galaxy F12 will come with SM-F127G.

Anyway, we were already aware of this, thanks to previous leaks. Also, we know that these phones are one and the same just like Galaxy M21s and Galaxy F41.

For those unaware, the Samsung Galaxy M series of smartphones are exclusive to Amazon and Samsung online store in India. On the other hand, the newly introduced Galaxy F series is exclusive to Flipkart and Samsung online store. These handsets can also be bought from select offline retailers.

So far, the South Korean tech giant has only released a single Galaxy F series phone and it happens to be a rebadged Galaxy M series phone. Hence, some of the upcoming Galaxy M devices have been also certified as a Galaxy F smartphone like the forthcoming Galaxy M12/Galaxy F12.

Having said that, according to previous leaks, these handsets are expected to feature a 6.7-inch punch-hole display, a massive 7,000mAh battery like Galaxy M51, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Samsung recently announced its budget F41 smartphone which is a first one of a possible F-series of devices. Just more than a month, and we have already been hearing news about more devices like the Galaxy F12/M12. Now, live images of what could be a prototype of Galaxy M12’s rear panel has leaked. This hints that the F12, M12 could be two distinct devices. And it certainly looks different from the design that leaked earlier.

1 of 2

91Mobiles, through their sources, shows us a pair of images that show the rear-panel view of the alleged Galaxy M12. Interestingly, the device has a two-tone finish, unlike the previous leak. The majority of the rear panel looks like a brushed textured finish. And a part of the rear fuselage below has a glossy paint job. Simply put, the two-tone looks something like the first Google Pixel but in reverse.

However, the camera layout is similar to a squircle design with a cut-out for four sensors inside the housing. There is also a small cut-out below probably for the LED flash. Another image, which is basically a flip-over of the rear panel, shows the model number inside. Looking at it closely, we see SM-M127F written on it. All this not only strengthens the existence of the Galaxy M12 but also reveals a unique rear-design compared to its predecessor, Galaxy M11. Anyway, let’s wait for more leaks to ascertain this claim.

Galaxy M12 Specifications(Expected)

Although it’s very early to talk about the specs of Galaxy M12, we might have a few guesses here. According to the early reports, the device might have a 6.7-inch display with a punch-hole for selfies. Additionally, it might feature a whopping 7,000mAh battery which currently exists only on the Galaxy M51 in the M series.

Also, if we look at the live shots of the prototype, there is no fingerprint sensor at the back. Considering its a budget device, we speculate that Samsung might place it at the side onto the power button. That said, Sadly, we might have to wait for a bit to know more about the specifications.

Samsung announced the Galaxy F41 as its first F-series phone last month. A recent report revealed the existence of another F-series that has a model number of SM-F127G. This handset is expected to debut as the Galaxy F12. 91mobiles has shared live images of the back panel of the Galaxy F12. The report has also revealed the key specifications of the device. The SM-M127F model number mentioned along with SM-F127G in the live shots suggests it could be also rebadged as an M-series with Galaxy M12 or Galaxy M05 moniker.

The live shots have revealed that the Galaxy F12/M12’s back panel has a textured finish with a Samsung branding towards the bottom. There is a square-shaped camera module for its quad cameras. Below the camera housing, there is a cutout for LED flash.

The device does not feature a rear-positioned fingerprint sensor. The biometric recognition feature seems to be embedded under the power button on the right edge. The volume buttons are also available on the right spine. The bottom edge of the back panel has cutouts for a 3.5mm audio jack, a microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. A microphone hole is also available on the top edge. A cutout for the SIM tray seems to be placed on the left edge.

The front design of the Galaxy F12/M12 is still a mystery. The publication claims that it has learned through its source that it has a 6.7-inch punch-hole screen with a tall aspect ratio. It has also revealed that the phone is backed by a gargantuan battery with a 7,000mAh capacity. The other details of the phone are under wraps.

In early 2019, Samsung introduced Galaxy M series as an online-exclusive lineup of smartphones in India. The devices in this series were initially exclusive to Amazon India and Samsung online store. Later, they were made available in select offline stores and other countries. 

Earlier this month, the South Korean tech giant unveiled another new series called Galaxy F. This one is exclusive to India’s largest online retailer Flipkart. The first phone in this series is Galaxy F41. Now, the company is readying to launch the second smartphone in the series.

The information about Samsung’s next Galaxy F series device comes from SamMobile. According to the publication, it will bear the model number SM-F127G.

That publication suggests that this device could go official as Galaxy F12. That means we can expect it to feature similar specs as the upcoming Galaxy M12. Because the Galaxy F41 is literally a Galaxy M31 without the fourth camera sensor.

That said, it is good to have options at every price range. However, the Galaxy M and Galaxy F series may collide with each other as they feature identical design, specs, and price (at least the first model) in the long run. The only difference between the two is their availability.

We hope Samsung will work on to differentiate between these two online-exclusive series so that customers don’t get confused with the launch of new models.
