Samsung is gearing up to launch a truly affordable phone under Galaxy M-series. The device is known as Galaxy M01 and will be slightly superior to the Galaxy A01. According to recently leaked info, the handset will cost just INR 9,000 (~$113) in India for the base version bearing 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
The specifications, however, aren’t much impressive. But that’s understandable for a phone in this price segment. According to Google Play Console listing, the phone will sport the Snapdragon 439 chipset. This particular chip is a bit outdated, and there are better offerings like the Helio G70 that could hit that price point, but Samsung opted for sticking with the very same chip present in the Galaxy A01. Of course, the handset has 1GB more of RAM if we compare it with the budget offering of the A-series.
The M01 has an HD+ display and ships with Android 10 straight out of the box. Of course, we’re expecting One UI 2.0 to be running above.
