The post Samsung Galaxy M62 is launching on March 3, seems to be rebadged Galaxy F62 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is expected to launch a number of smartphones in the coming days. One of these phones is Galaxy M62. This device is in the news since November 2020. Before its official announcement, the handset’s support page has gone live on Samsung India’s website.

According to multiple certifications and leaks, the upcoming Galaxy M62 with model number SM-M625F is rumored to be a rebadged version of Galaxy F62 that has a model number SM-E625F.

The latter has been confirmed to launch in India next week on February 15. Hence, it is interesting to know that Galaxy M62 will also be debuting in India as its support page is now live in the country.

Further, it is worth noting that the first Galaxy F series smartphone, known as Galaxy F41 in India, is also sold as Galaxy M21s in Brazil. Both of them are basically the same device with no difference and hence, the latter did not launch in India.

On the other hand, since both Galaxy F62 and Galaxy M62 will be available in India, there’s a high chance that this duo could be similar to recent Redmi and POCO smartphones. Anyway, there’s no concrete proof for this theory yet, and therefore, consider this speculation with a pinch of salt.

As far as specs are concerned, the Galaxy M62 is expected to come with Exynos 9825 SoC, 6GB RAM, up to 256GB of internal storage, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C, Android 11, 7,000mAh battery, and 25W fast charging.

The post Upcoming Smartphones in February 2021: Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, Nokia, & a lot more! appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy M62 smartphone has received certification from the National Broadcasting Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) authority of Thailand (via. Pricebaba). With yet another certification under the belt, it seems that Samsung may soon launch the Galaxy M62 smartphone in different markets.

As usual, the NBTC certification only reveals that the SM-M625F/DS moniker is associated with the Galaxy M62 smartphone and has no information on its specs. The moniker and model number were last seen at the Bluetooth SIG certification. The handset has also received Wi-Fi Alliance approval in the recent past. These certifications show that the Galaxy M62 carries support for Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Android 11 OS.

It is believed that Samsung is also gearing up to launch a phone named Galaxy F62. It could be a rebranded version or its specs could be a lot like the Galaxy M62. The SM-E625F/DS model number that belongs to the Galaxy F62 and the SM-M625F model number were both found in FCC certification. It revealed a couple of more specs such as 4G LTE, NFC support, and a 7,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support.

The Galaxy F62 was spotted with an Exynos 9825 chipset and 6 GB of RAM at the Geekbench benchmarking platform. It is speculated that the device could be equipped with up to 256 GB of native storage. The Galaxy F62 has also bagged certification from the BIS authority of India and its support page is also live on Samsung India’s website.

The leaked shots of the Galaxy F62’s panel revealed that it could be sporting an AMOLED panel with an in-screen fingerprint reader. It could be equipped with a square-shaped camera module. The images revealed the presence of connectivity ports such as a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB-C. Apart from the Galaxy M62 / Galaxy F62 smartphone, the South Korean company is also expected to launch phones like Galaxy F12, Galaxy A72, and Galaxy A52 this month.

Samsung has a couple of new phones lined up for India. Recent reports have revealed that the company may announce new smartphones such as Galaxy M62/F62, Galaxy M12, and Galaxy M12 in India in the coming weeks. Fresh information reveals that the Galaxy M62/F62 has bagged approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority. The Bluetooth approval suggests that the device may break cover as early as next month.

The Bluetooth SIG agency has approved the SM-E625F_DS Samsung phone with the Galaxy F62 moniker. The Galaxy M62 is also listed on the certification platform with its SM-M625F_DS model number. The listings only confirm that these handsets carry support for Bluetooth 5.0. Both models have also received certification from Wi-Fi Alliance in the recent past. Speculations are rife that both phones may arrive with almost identical specs.

The support page of the Galaxy F62 was recently found listed on Samsung India’s website. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certifications of the Galaxy F62 as well as its appearance on the official website are a good hint that it may launch at some point in February.

Unfortunately, not much is known about the specifications of the Galaxy M62 / F62. Last month, the Galaxy F62 was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking platform with the Exynos 9825 chipset, which also fueled that the Galaxy Note 10 series that debuted back in 2019. The F62 was found to be equipped with 6 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS.

Other reports have revealed that the Galaxy F62 could be sporting an FHD+ AMOLED display and a quad-camera system. The handset is also expected to arrive with an in-screen fingerprint reader. The Galaxy F62 will be the second F-series phone from the brand to land in India after the Galaxy F41 handset that debuted in October last year.

The post Samsung Galaxy M62 and Galaxy F62 bag Bluetooth certifications, launching next month? appeared first on Gizmochina.

The existence of a Samsung smartphone called Galaxy M62 was first reported in November 2020. The handset was later said to be a tablet instead. Then, its alleged images appeared on the internet last week. They suggested it to be a giant phone aka phablet. Now, the device’s FCC certification also confirms the same.

The upcoming Galaxy M62 has been spotted on FCC with ID A3LSMM625F. The listing confirms the phone’s two model numbers – SM-M625F/DS and SM-E62F/DS (DS stands for dual-SIM). 

A device with the latter model number leaked in live images in December as Galaxy E62. But now, we can confirm that it will be not the case, however, there’s still a chance of Samsung releasing the Galaxy M62 as Galaxy E62 in some markets.

Further, the listing reveals this device to come with 4G LTE, dual-band WiFi, NFC, and a 7,000mAh battery. As far as other specs are concerned, it is expected to feature Exynos 9825 SoC, at least 6GB RAM and, Android 11 (One UI 3.0) operating system, as per a Geekbnech listing.

For those unaware, this is the same chipset that powers the older Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+ flagship smartphones. Lastly, according to the first-ever report of this phone, it will come with 256GB internal storage but there could be a lower storage option as well.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the display and camera of the upcoming Galaxy M62 phablet. But we do expect to learn about them before the product’s official launch in the coming days.

UP NEXT: Samsung may eventually stop shipping chargers with its smartphones

The post Galaxy M62’s FCC listing confirms the device to be a phablet appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

UP NEXT: The Exynos Galaxy S21 may offer 25-35% better battery life than its predecessor

The post Samsung may launch Galaxy M12 or Galaxy M62 next week in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier in November, a report exposed that Samsung is working on Galaxy M62. Going by its name, the device was thought to be a mid-range smartphone back then. But now, another report reveals it to be a tablet instead.

The Galaxy M series is Samsung’s online-exclusive device lineup with limited offline availability. So far, all the devices in this series have been entry-level, budget, and mid-range smartphones. Hence, the Galaxy M62 with model number SM-M625F was also expected to be a handset.

But it turns out that it will be the first-ever tablet in the Galaxy M series. According to the source of 91Mobiles, this device will go official as Galaxy Tab M62. But unfortunately, nothing else is known about this product except for the fact that it will be compact in size and will be available in a 256GB storage variant.

Currently, Samsung has two series of tablets. The premium and mid-tier models release with Galaxy Tab S branding. On the other hand, the budget models come with Galaxy Tab A branding.

Since the Galax M series’ placement is similar to the Galaxy A series, we can expect the Galaxy Tab M62 to be a budget tablet. Therefore, we think it could be the spiritual successor to the Galaxy J Max, the only tablet in the Galaxy J series that was launched in 2016.

But a benchmark listing says otherwise. Last week, a device going by the name of Galaxy F62 was spotted on Geekbench with Exynos 9825 and Android 11. For those unware, this is the same chipset that powers the last year’s Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+.

Further, since Galaxy M and Galaxy F series are idenntical except for their retailer exclusivity. Hence. this Galaxy F62 could be the Galaxy M62. If that is the case, then this device will be a mid-range tablet.

The Galaxy M series smartphones have been Samsung’s best-sellers in India ever since the company debuted them. Back in September, the South Korean tech giant launched the Galaxy M51 as the most-expensive Galaxy M series phone ever. Now, according to a new report, the company may introduce Galaxy M62 with even beefier specs and a higher price tag.

In 2019, the Galaxy M40 was the costliest Galaxy M series smartphone. Unlike other cheaper handsets in the series, it featured a punch-hole LCD panel and a Qualcomm chipset, Snapdragon 675 to be exact. This very same phone even launched as Galaxy A60 in select markets.

Then, in 2020, the Galaxy M51 has now become the expensive Galaxy M series phone. This handset features a monstrous 7,000mAh battery, the largest in a Samsung smartphone. Also once again, this device is powered by a Qualcomm chip – Snapdragon 730G. However, it comes with an AMOLED display compared to an LCD panel on the Galaxy M40.

Now, according to the sources of SamMobile, Samsung is developing a new handset with model number SM-M625F and 256GB storage. Going by its model number, the publication and its sources suggest this device to launch as Galaxy M62. 

This means it may take on the mantle of the expensive Galaxy M series smartphone whenever it launches. Also, it will be the first Galaxy M series phone with 256GB internal storage but it may be available in a lower storage option as well.

Having said that the so-called Galaxy M62 will most probably debut next year and share some specs with the upcoming Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72. Perhaps, it may also come with a Qualcomm chipset, AMOLED display, and 7,000mAh battery.
