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.

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.
