Samsung launches the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 for India, starting at $112

In its latest effort to claim the India market dominance from the likes of Xiaomi and OnePlus,  Samsung mobile earlier today introduced a new Galaxy M series of smartphone which will step in in the toes of its Galaxy J series. Today’s arrival of the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 puts an end to over one month of leaks and rumors.

In line with leaks and rumors, both devices are budget offerings targeted at  “young millennials”. Although both devices sport the Infinity V displays with waterdrop notch, the Galaxy M20 without doubts is the most advanced of the duo, parading a dual-rear camera with a 13MP F1.9 main lens, a 5MP ultra-wide lens, a 6.3-inch FHD+ display, and notably, a 5,000mAh battery. Under the hood, the Galaxy M20 gets an Exynos 7904 octa-core processor with two different configurations: a 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage combo, and a 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage combo.

Notably, the Galaxy M2O comes with a 15W wired charging support (charger included in the box), a rear fingerprint sensor, a Face Unlock while it sadly boots Android 8.1 Oreo with Samsung Experience 9.5 out of the box.

The Galaxy M10, on the other hand, gets a smaller 6.2-inch LCD display with a lower 1520x720px resolution. Much like the M20, the Galaxy M10 has the Infinity-V notch which is home to the  5MP f/2.0 selfie camera.

It retains the 13MP regular + 5MP ultra-wide camera but has seen a step down in the memory and chipset unit. It ditches the Exynos 7904 for a less powerful Exynos 7870  with 2GB RAM OR 3GB RAM, AND 32GB storage.

Other areas of compromise include a 3,430mAh unit with regular charging, no fingerprint scanner, and no Face unlock.
