South Korean handset major Samsung is geared up to introduce its first mid-range 5G smartphone called Galaxy M42 later this month in India. According to reports quoting industry sources, the device will be priced between Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000.
The first Galaxy M-series smartphone with 5G connectivity is seen as Samsung’s big foray in the mid-segment, where the company has a large market share in India.
Samsung recently launched a number of 5G smartphones in India in the premium segment. The company’s most premium foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Fold2 comes with 5G connectivity in India. All three variants of Galaxy S21 launched in India support 5G connectivity. It also launched the 5G variant of Galaxy S20 Fan Edition in India recently.
In terms of specs, the Samsung Galaxy M42 is said to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor and is likely to launch in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants. It will also get ‘Knox Security’, the first for a Galaxy ‘M’ smartphone, if the reports are to be believed.
