Samsung is revamping its smartphone lineup in the Indian market to grab back the market share it lost to the Chinese players. For this, the company launched the new Galaxy A-series phones and also introduced online-only Galaxy M-series.

The company has already launched a few devices in the Galaxy M lineup and is reportedly all set to launch yet another smartphone in the same series which will be the successor to Samsung Galaxy M40.

As per the report, the company could be launching the Samsung Galaxy M50 in the Indian market later this month. While the exact launch date is not confirmed, the device is expected to go official in the country on 15th November.

Interestingly, Samsung seems to be ready to sell the upcoming smartphone through both channels — online as well as offline, that too at the same time and at same pricing. While the Galaxy M-series was launched as online exclusive, the company later launched in offline market, but with a slightly higher pricing.

There’s nothing known about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy M50 smartphone but given that it will be the successor to Galaxy M40, we expect the device to have better specifications than the M40.

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy M40 is the top-end device in the lineup. It features a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ Infinity-O Display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 octa-core processor, paired with Adreno 612 GPU, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage.

For taking selfies and video calling, the smartphone has a 16-megapixel sensor at the front. The phone features a triple rear camera setup that comprises a 32-megapixel primary sensor with an AI scene optimizer and f/1.7 lens, a 5-megapixel secondary depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel tertiary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens.

Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/ A-GPS, and a USB Type-C port. The handset is running Android 9 Pie-based Samsung One UI out-of-the-box and is powered by a 3,500mAh battery with support for fast charging.

Samsung is reportedly working to launch an all-new M-series for budget and mid-range smartphones in the Indian market. As per the reports, the South Korean giant will launch two phones under its M-series, which could possibly be named Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20.

The company has reportedly started mass production of both the smartphones in India, suggesting that the official launch of the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 is imminent. Now, the latest report suggests that the smartphones will be priced aggressively to win the highly-competitive budget smartphone segment in India.

According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy M10 could be priced under Rs. 10,000 (approximately $142) while the Samsung Galaxy M20 could be priced around Rs. 15,000, which roughly converts to $213. Considering the aggressive pricing, it won’t be surprising if Samsung keeps the M-series as an online-only smartphone series.

With Chinese smartphone manufacturers dominating the Indian smartphone market in the budget and mid-range category, Samsung is feeling the pressure to price its smartphones more aggressively. Most of the Chinese phones are priced very aggressively and offers great value-for-money.

Earlier reports have suggested that the Galaxy M10 will be a budget offering that will be powered by the company’s in-house Exynos 7870 octa-core processor. It is expected to pack 3GB RAM and two options for internal storage — 16GB and 32GB. As for the software, the phone will be running Android Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s custom interface.

On the other hand, the Galaxy M20 variant is rumored to be powered by the Samsung’s own Exynos 7885 upper mid-range processor, coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. The device is said to feature a Full-HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels with an unknown screen size, and just like M10, this one too will run Android Oreo out-of-the-box.
