The post Samsung Galaxy A13, A21s and M02 receives September 2023 security update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung launched the Galaxy M02 in India in early February. Just a month later, the handset’s price was increased. Now, four months from that, the smartphone gets yet another price hike. Let’s take a look at how much the device now costs in the country.

The Samsung Galaxy M02 sold in India comes in two variants – 2GB + 32GB and 3GB + 32GB. They debuted at ₹6,999 and ₹7,499 respectively.

As mentioned earlier, the handset got its first price hike a little over a month from its announcement. The device price was increased by ₹500. Hence, it had been selling for ₹7,499 and ₹7,999 since then.

Now, once again, the Galaxy M02 receives a price hike of ₹500. As a result, the phone now retails at ₹7,999 and ₹8,499 for the 2GB + 32GB and 3GB 32GB storage configurations respectively.

Some of the highlights of the Galaxy M02 include a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen, MediaTek MT6739W SoC, 13MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) dual-camera setup, 5MP selfie camera, and 5,000mAh battery.

It is worth noting that Samsung is not the only company to increase the price of its smartphones as well as TVs in recent times. Almost all phone and TV brands have hiked the price of their certain products due to a shortage of supplies.

Unfortunately, it’s not clear when the situation will improve. Hopefully, it does sooner than later as it could affect the demand in India, which in return could further harm the country’s economy.

In early February, Samsung launched the Galaxy M02 entry-level smartphone in India. It is a rebranded Galaxy A02, which is available in markets like Thailand. A little over a month after its debut, the company has now hiked its price by ₹500.

Samsung released the Galaxy M02 in two storage configurations. The base variant with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage launched at ₹6,999. On the other hand, the higher version with 3GB RAM and 32B internal storage was introduced at ₹7,499.

But now, according to a retail source of 91Mobiles, the South Korean tech giant has hiked the price of this handset by ₹500 for the offline channels. We also found the device to be listed with the increased price tags on both Samsung online store and Amazon India.

Therefore, if you are planning to get this phone, then you will have to spend either ₹7,499 for the 2GB + 32GB model or ₹7,999 for the 3GB + 32GB variant. The new price is applicable to all four colors options, namely Black, Blue, Red, and Gray.

It is weird for Samsung to increase the price of its cheapest smartphone launched in 2021 to date. Last year, the company did the opposite by dropping the price of its most-affordable smartphone (Galaxy M01 Core) just two months after its release.

Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy M02 in India after teasing it for the past few days. The entry-level smartphone offers a large screen, a huge battery, and a dual-camera setup. Let us take a look at the entire specs, features, price, and availability of this handset.

Galaxy M02 Specifications and Features

The newly announced Galaxy M02 is nothing but a rebranded Galaxy A02 that went official last week in Thailand. It sports a 6.5-inch PLS TFT LCD panel with a resolution of  720 x 1600 pixels (HD+). The screen has a dewdrop notch at the top and hence, Samsung advertises it as an ‘Infinity-V Display’.

Under the hood, the device features a MediaTek MT6739W SoC paired with 2GB/3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Unfortunately, despite launching in the second month of 2021, the smartphone runs Android 10 (One UI Core 2.x) instead of the latest Android 11-based One UI Core 3.0.

As for optics, the phone comes with a 13MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) vertically aligned dual-camera setup on the back and a 5MP front-facing camera in the notch for selfies and video calls. It is interesting to see the company opting for a macro shooter, rather than the commonly used depth sensor.

Other features of this handset are dual-SIM, 4G, VoLTE, single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GNSS (GPS, GLONASS), grip sensor, accelerometer, proximity sensor, dedicated microSD card slot (up to 1TB), 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroUSB port, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Lastly, the phone’s body is made of polycarbonate with a grippy pattern and comes in four colors, namely Denim Black, Denim Blue, Denim Gray, and Denim Red. It measures 164.0 x 75.9 x 9.1mm in dimensions and weighs 206g.

Galaxy M02 Pricing and Availability

The Samsung Galaxy M02 will be retailing for the following price tags.

• 2GB + 32GB – ₹6,999 (Introductory Offer – ₹6,799)
• 3GB + 32GB – ₹7,499

It will go on sale starting February 9 and can be purchased from Samsung online store, Amazon India, and leading offline store across India.

The post Samsung Galaxy M02 launched in India as a rebranded Galaxy A02 appeared first on Gizmochina.

When the first work day of next week arrives, we will officially be in February. The year is flying by pretty fast because it feels like the 1st of January was just 2 weeks ago. Nevertheless, we still have 11 months to go this year, which means there are several products that are yet to launch, some of which will be arriving next week.

Itel A47

Transsion is the biggest phone company in Africa but it also sells phones under its Infinix, Itel, and Tecno brands in Asia. On Monday, the 1st of February, it will launch the Itel A47 in India. This is an entry-level phone with modest specs and Android Go, so it should be great for those on a very slim budget or those who are grabbing their first smartphone.

POCO M3 heading to India

The POCO M3 was announced in Europe last November and became popular instantly thanks to its design, specifications, and low price tag. Now, two months after, POCO has announced it will launch it in India on February 2. We expect the phone to sell out pretty fast when it goes on sale.

Samsung Galaxy M02

On the same day that POCO takes the wrap off the POCO M3 in India, Samsung will announce the Galaxy M02 too. The phone which has been reported will be priced under $100 is expected to have a 6.5-inch screen, a Snapdragon 450 processor, and a 5000mAh battery.

Realme X7 series

Realme will announce the Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro on the 4th of February, also in India, Both phones have 5G support and are powered by the Dimensity 800U and Dimensity 1000+ respectively. They also have AMOLED screens and support for 65W fast charging.

All of the new week’s product launches are happening in India but there is a chance we may see other products get announced in other regions during the week.

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.

Two more devices in the form of Galaxy M02 and Galaxy A02 with similar specs and price tag are expected to join it in the coming days. These handsets have been in the news lately, thanks to certifications and benchmarks. Now, they have been cleared Bluetooth certification as well.

According to the Bluetooth SIG website, the upcoming Galaxy M02 will come with three model numbers, whereas the Galaxy A02 will arrive with five  model numbers, intended for multiple markets. All three variants of the former device will have dual-SIM support, however, two variants of the latter handset will come with a single-SIM card slot.

Samsung is already working on the next budget M series of devices. Dubbed the M12, a device has already appeared on several certifications. Today, a report by Gadgets360 says another Galaxy-M series device is in the works. And it could be a rebrand of a Galaxy-A smartphone.

According to the report, a Samsung device with model number SM-M025F appears on Google Play Supported devices list. Accordingly, it’s marketing name is shown as Galaxy M02s. Besides, the device also has a codename ‘a02q’. This not only matches with the Galaxy A02s in the listing but also suggests that the device could be a rebrand of the latter.

That said, a few weeks back, a Samsung device with model number SM-M025F/DS was spotted on the company’s official support page. While the device is speculated to be the Galaxy M02 and a rebrand of the Galaxy A02, it could just be a variant of the Galaxy M02s.

Anyway, the Galaxy A02s which launched back in November, is yet to go on sale in Europe. Priced at €150, the device has quite the specifications to perfectly fit as a successor to the Galaxy M01s smartphone. It has better specs like a bigger display, powerful processor, triple cameras etc.

Galaxy M02s Specifications( Expected from A02s)

Either way, if Galaxy M02s turns out as the rebrand of Galaxy A02s from Europe, it will feature a bigger 6.5-inch HD+ display instead of the 6.2-inch on the M01s. Additionally, it will also have a better Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC under the hood.

If you look at the rear of the Galaxy A02s, it has a vertically striped triple-camera array. This is a sensor plus from the dual camera of the Galaxy M01s. Anyway, the M02s will likely have a 13MP main, and two 2MP sensors.

Other expected specifications are a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, MicroSD expansion up to 1TB, and more. Let’s wait for the official details to ascertain the above claims.

The list has names from biggies like Huawei, Lenovo, Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, and more. As always we have included few devices that are speculated to arrive this month at the end.

OPPO Reno5 series

Perhaps, the next big launch in China would be the Reno5 series of smartphones. It is rumored to launch on December 10 in China. Anyway, the lineup will likely have three devices- Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, Reno5 Pro+ 5G. The entire specs of the device have been leaked ahead of launch.

Reno5 Pro will have similar specs as the Reno5 but a bigger 6.55-inch display, Dimensity 1000+ SoC, and a slightly larger 4,350mAh battery. And as per leaks, the difference between Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ is a bigger 4,500mAh battery, Snapdragon 865 SoC, and rear cameras. Accordingly, it will most likely include a mysterious Sony IMX7xx 50MP lens, 16MP ultra-wide, 12MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and a 2MP macro sensor.

After confirming the arrival of Lemon brand smartphones, Lenovo has confirmed that the Lemon K12 series of smartphones will launch on December 9 in China.

The Honor V40 series was expected to launch last month. However, a lot happened in December and now Honor is no longer a sub-brand of Huawei. Hence, the V40 series could be the first Honor Smartphones after the split. Although it is rumored to launch in December along with the Nova8 series, some reports say that it might get skipped to Jan 2021. The series will have V40 Pro, V40 Pro+.
