This smartphone is said to be the first-ever 5G smartphone in the Galaxy M-lineup from Samsung. So far, nothing has been officially revealed about this upcoming device but given that the teaser has surfaced online, the launch should be days or weeks away.

As per the previous reports, the smartphone has a model number SM-M426B/DS and has already got the NFC certification. The device has already been spotted on Geekbench, the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, India’s BIS, and more.

It is said that the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset. The Geekbench leak and the source code revealed that the device in testing had Adreno 619 GPU which also corresponds to the SD750G.

We expect the smartphone to come with a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, quad-cameras with a 64MP primary camera, 32MP selfie camera, 6,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, One UI 3.1, and more.

Apart from bringing the Galaxy M42 5G, Samsung is also said to be working to bring a few more 5G smartphones in the market in the coming months, including the Galaxy M62 5G, and an ODM-made Galaxy A22 5G.

Samsung is seemingly launching a 5G smartphone under the Galaxy M lineup soon. Early reports indicate that the device could be called Galaxy M42 5G and it could take hints from the already available Galaxy A42 5G. Now, the former has appeared on Geekbench.

A Samsung smartphone with model number SM-M426B appears on Geekbench 5 benchmarking database. As per the benchmark listing, the device in testing features a 4GB RAM, Android 11 OS, and has a Qualcomm chipset running at a base frequency of 1.8GHz.

When looked upon the source code, the chipset has the Adreno GPU 619 GPU and this suggests that it is the Snapdragon 750G chipset. As for the device, its official support page has already gone live in India and it might launch as the Galaxy M42 5G as mentioned above.

Further, it has already gone through other certifications like the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, and others like India’s BIS. Of course, the naming isn’t confirmed yet, but looking at the model number, there is a possibility for it coming as Galaxy M42.

Samsung is said to bring a lot of other midrange 5G devices and the Galaxy M42 isn’t the only one. Apparently, it is said to be working on the Galaxy M62 5G, and an ODM-made Galaxy A22 5G device. Out of this, we don’t know which is going to launch first in India just yet.

As for specs, it could feature a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, quad-cameras with a 64MP primary camera, 32MP selfie camera, 6,000mAh battery, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, MicroSD, One UI 3.1, and more.

Let’s wait and see how long Samsung takes to make the device official in India.

Samsung Galaxy M42 5G Support Page Goes Live in India, launch imminent

Samsung hasn’t yet brought the 5G devices to India under the budget or mid-range segment for that matter. The closest example would be the Galaxy A52 4G which launched as a 5G device in certain markets outside India. That should change later in 2021 according to previous reports. Accordingly, a support page for the Galaxy M42 5G has gone live in India.

A new support page for an upcoming Samsung smartphone has gone live in India. This device has the model number SM-M426B/DS. Here, the DS generally notes that it’s the Dual SIM variant. If you recall, this device has already been certified at the Wi-Fi Alliance, China’s 3C authority, and others like India’s BIS.

This model number coincides with the Galaxy A42 5G(SM-A426B) that launched in European markets last year. Hence, the device, under Galaxy M42 5G moniker, could share some of the design, specs from the Galaxy A42 5G.

However, the Samsung Galaxy M42 5G should have certain tweaks like the 64MP primary camera instead of the 48MP shooter, 6,000mAh battery instead of 5,000mAh on the A42 5G, 32MP selfie camera, and more. Speaking of similarities, the Galaxy M42 5G could feature a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED HD+ Infinity-U display.

Under the hood, it can very well have the Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage options. We can expect other specs like Bluetooth 5.0, in-display fingerprint sensor, fast charging support up to 15W, MicroSD slot for expansion up to 1TB, run latest One UI 3.1, and more.

Let’s wait for the official confirmation regarding the device from Samsung which is expected to come out in the near future.

Samsung Galaxy M42 to launch as the company’s first M-series 5G smartphone

Jeet — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 08:26:08 +0000

Samsung launched the M-series smartphones in the Indian market and in the past few months, the lineup has been expanded to other regions as well. The company has seen success with this new series and continues to add more devices.

The South Korean giant is expected to launch a new Samsung Galaxy M42 smartphone which was recently reported to soon go official in the European market. Now, new information has surfaced online about the device.

As per the latest report, the Wi-Fi Alliance listing shows that the Galaxy M42, which has model number SM-M426B, will be the first device in the Galaxy M-series to come with support for 5G connectivity. It is also revealed that the phone will be running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box.

It has already been known that the smartphone will come with a 64-megapixel primary camera sensor on the back and on the front side, there will be a 32-megapixel for taking selfies and video calling.

The Samsung Galaxy M42 is expected to have an AMOLED display with support for a 90Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by a 6,000mAh battery with fast charging support. Currently, the exact launch date of the Galaxy M42 is not known.

Meanwhile, the South Korean giant is gearing up to launch the Galaxy A72 and Galaxy A52 smartphones. There’s also Samsung Galaxy A22 5G on the way. In related news, Samsung has today launched the Galaxy M12 powered by Exynos 850 SoC launched in India.

Two new Galaxy M Smartphones reportedly in development, may launch before 2020 ends

Looks like Samsung is not done with the Galaxy M series of smartphones just yet. A new report says that the company is working on two Galaxy M smartphones. And they might launch before the year 2020 ends.

Sammobile comes with exclusive news that the company is working on two new devices with model numbers SM-M425F, and SM-M127F. While the naming of the devices isn’t confirmed yet, the report says the devices might be named the Galaxy M42 and Galaxy M12s respectively. Previously, Samsung reportedly canceled the supposed successor of Galaxy M40, the Galaxy M41, and went ahead with M51.

But the new leak has model numbers hinting that a Galaxy M42 might be possible as well. This is because Samsung’s naming reflects the model numbers on many occasions. The keyword ‘M’ after the SM usually represents the M series while model numbers like SM-F415F turned out to be the new F series.

Possible naming and specifications

Also, the older entry-level Galaxy M10s has the model number SM-M107F. And its ‘non-s’ variant Galaxy M10 has SM-M105F. Likewise, the earlier launched Galaxy M40 had the model number SM-405F. All these suggest that the model numbers usually with the keyword ‘5F’ seem to be the normal variant of the device. And the ‘7F’ turns out to be the s variant.

Hence, there are chances that the devices could end up being called the same. Of course, these might not be true always, and as the report says, Samsung might change the name entirely at any point in time.

Moving on, the report adds that the SM-M425F will have a 64MP main camera and 128GB of internal storage. However, there is no info on SM-M127F. This suggests that the former should be a mid-ranger while the latter an entry-level smartphone. Besides, if reports are true the software development for M425F has already begun and it will likely launch before the end of the year.

Samsung is bombarding phones in markets like India at the moment. It recently launched the Galaxy M51, and before we take a breather it is back with the Galaxy F41. Regarding the new leak, it is very early stages and hence, we will have to wait and see how Samsung plays with this one.
