In late July, Samsung launched its cheapest 2020 smartphone in the form of Galaxy M01 Core in India. This device is also known as Galaxy A01 Core in certain markets. A few days ahead of its announcement, the company also launched one of its bizarre handsets of 2020 called Galaxy M01s. Now, within two months from their debut, both these devices have received a permanent price cut of ₹500 ($7).

Samsung released the Galaxy M01 Core as its cheapest smartphone of 2020 in India for ₹5,499 ($75). This price was for the base variant with 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. Whereas, the higher 2GB + 32GB storage version debuted for 6,499 ($88).

Now with the latest ₹500 ($7) price cut, this handset is even more affordable at ₹4,999 ($68) and ₹5,999 ($81) respectively. The highlight of this device is Android 10 Go Edition with One UI.

Similarly, the South Korean tech giant has also slashed the price of Galaxy M01s by the same amount and therefore, it now retails for ₹9,499 instead of ₹9,999. It comes in a single 3GB + 32GB version.

We mentioned this phone as bizarre in the introduction because despite being a Galaxy M series smartphone, the features offered by this handset pale in comparison to products from other brands as well as its own siblings.
