Samsung introduced the camera-centric Galaxy F-series with the launch of the Galaxy F41 earlier last year. It is a sub-Rs. 20,000 smartphone that rivaled the likes of Redmi Note 9 Pro Max and Realme 7 in India. The Korean giant has now switched gears and launched a more premium F-series smartphone, the Galaxy F62, in the country today.
Galaxy F62 will be available in two configurations – 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB. The 6GB+128GB base variant is priced at Rs. 23,999 whereas the higher-end 8GB+128GB variant is priced at Rs. 25,999 in India.
Samsung has baked a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED panel with minimal bezels. and a 2400 x 1080-pixels resolution. You have a centered punch-hole cutout with a 32MP selfie camera on the front. There’s also a side-mounted fingerprint sensor onboard that doubles as the power button.
Under the hood, the Galaxy F62 is powered by the flagship Exynos 9825 chipset. It is based on the 7nm EUV process and if you don’t remember, this chipset debuted with the Galaxy Note 10 series earlier in 2019. This chipset will enable the Galaxy F62 to compete against next-gen MediaTek Dimensity-backed phones in the sub-Rs. 25,000 bracket. You will also find up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (expandable up to 1TB via the dedicated microSD card). The device runs Android 11-based OneUI out-of-the-box, which is great.
