Samsung is reported to announce the Galaxy S21 series this month. But ahead of it, the company may launch a Galaxy M series device in India. In fact, this smartphone may go official as soon as next week. Even its teaser poster has been leaked but unfortunately, it does not say much about the phone.

The South Korean tech giant is expected to release a number of budget smartphones worldwide in the coming days. A bunch of them have already cleared necessary certifications and have been even spotted on benchmarking platforms like Geekbench.

One of these devices is the Galaxy M12, which is a strong contender to launch next week in India. But we could be wrong as the teaser poster shared by Mukul Sharma (@stufllistings) has the text #MAXUP. Also, he says that this handset will come with a ‘BIG’ screen.

Additionally, earlier this week, Tushar Mehta of XDA Developers also suggested that his phone will not be the Galaxy M12. Hence, the only thing that matches with #MAXUP and ‘BIG’ screen is the Samsung SM-M625F, which was reported last month to launch as the first Galaxy M series tablet – Galaxy Tab M62.

However, an older report on the same devices said it to be a smartphone – Galaxy M62. Also, the leaked teaser poster showcases a dew-drop notch. Hence, it could be a phablet like the Galaxy J Max instead of a tablet.

Anyway, we will know everything about this upcoming device if Samsung is indeed announcing it next week. Maybe, we will learn more about it before the official announcement itself.
