According to the reports, the Samsung Galaxy M01 will come with a 5.71-inch screen. And though the processor still belongs to the Snapdragon 400 series, this time, the company used a Snapdragon 439 processor. It is coupled with a 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM storage combination and a built-in 4000mAh battery. As for the camera, there is a 13MP + 2MP dual-camera module on the back. At the same time, we can find a 5MP selfie shooter on the opposite side. In addition, the machine will also support Dolby Atmos, Samsung Health and face unlock and other functions. Moreover, most likely, it will support microSD card slot to expand storage.
The phone has 146.3 x 70.86 x 9.8 mm overall dimensions. It ships with Android 10 straight out of the box with One UI 2.0. A 4,000mAh battery will keep the light on. Other features include Dolby Atmos, Samsung Health support, and Face Unlock. Interestingly enough the microSD presence is listed as “TBD”. Perhaps the schematics are still work-in-progress, or in the worst-case scenario, the material was manipulated.
Regarding the selling price, the retail price of the Galaxy M01 is 8999 rupees (about $119); the Galaxy M11 is priced at 10999 rupees (about $146) for the 3 + 32GB version and 12999 rupees ($172) for the 4 + 64GB version.
Samsung is the number one smartphone brand in the world. But it loses the battle to Xiaomi in India. And we are talking not about one or two quarters. Xiaomi leads this market for 11 consecutive quarters. It’s naïve to think these two will help the Korean manufacturer to outrun its rival, but it can capture higher market share.
