Samsung Galaxy F62 is an upcoming device that will probably bridge the Gap between Smartphones and Tablets. It will likely share a lot of specs with another device coming as Galaxy M62 in certain markets. Accordingly, the Phablet-like device could feature a bigger FHD+ AMOLED panel. Now, we have new info suggesting that the device could debut under ₹25k in India.

The latest information comes from Mukul Sharma who says that Samsung will soon launch the Galaxy F series device. He says that the device will debut under ₹25,000 in India. To recall, the Galaxy M51 has the highest price(₹24,999) for a Samsung F/M series yet. Hence, the upcoming Galaxy F(probably the F62) won’t break this norm going by the leak.

Further, Mukul also shared a picture that has what looks like a leaked marketing teaser image having a ‘Flagship level’ tagline with Exynos and four blanks( _ _ _ _ ). A comparison against Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G chipset is also shown. If this is true, Samsung is clearly looking to target the performance and 5G capabilities here.

[Exclusive] Samsung is indeed launching a new F series smartphone. It's supposed to be a #FullOnSpeedy phone. The multi-core score (2401) will outperform the 765G processor. Price will be less than 25k
Hey @samsungindia, which one eh?
Any guesses #stufflistingsarmy? pic.twitter.com/x0dA80sXDz

— Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) February 3, 2021

A recent Geekbench listing shows that the Galaxy F62 will feature an Exynos 9825 flagship chipset. In case you don’t know, Exynos 9825 powers the Galaxy Note 10 Series from 2019.

Interestingly, this chipset (first Samsung SoC to be built on 7nm), although having 4G as default, also is 5G-ready when paired with an Exynos 5100 modem. Hence, it is possible that Samsung might surprise everyone by bringing the Galaxy F62 as a 5G device.

Samsung Galaxy F62 has been in the rumors for quite a while now. A listing on FCC with model number SM-E625F/DS, which is tipped to be the Galaxy F62, reveals features like NFC, 7,000mAh battery with 25W charging. Other expected specs include quad-cameras, storage up to 256GB, USB-C and 3.5mm audio jack ports, run Android 11, and more.

The post Samsung Galaxy F62 could debut under ₹25,000($343) in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is gearing up to launch a new Phablet device in the M-series branding. Several reports have already exposed the specs that the device is likely to feature. Now, it has got the Wi-Fi certification ahead of launch.

A Samsung device with model number SM-M625F/DS appears on Wi-Fi Alliance Certification. If you recall, a report last month said that the model number belongs to the upcoming Galaxy M62. Here, DS refers to the Dual-SIM variant. Anyway, the listing shows that the device will support Wi-Fi 2.4 & 5GHz.

This basically means you can tap into both the 802.11ac and backward compatible 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi network using the device. Also, since the ‘DS’ appears on the certification, we can expect the Phablet to arrive with SIM support.

You can also spot that the device runs Android 11 which means you can expect at least the One UI 3.0 to be present out of the box. While we decide on whether the device will be a Tablet/Phablet, leaked live images suggest that it could carry the Phablet Form factor. For the unware, a Phablet has an intermediate size between a Tablet and a Smartphone.

Although we don’t know the exact size/dimensions of display to confirm this, the device is expected to feature Exynos 9825 SoC, paired with at least 6GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. All this will likely be backed up by a 7,000mAh battery with support for up to 25W charging.

Besides, there is a possibility that a variant with SM-E62F/DS could also debut as F62/E62 in certain markets but let’s wait for official confirmation on the same.
