Samsung is about to launch a new mid-range smartphone in India. The Indian smartphone market is the second largest in the world, only behind China. Like most markets, the Indian smartphone market is extremely price-sensitive, which is why Xiaomi has consistently held the top spot in the Indian smartphone market over the past two years. Samsung hopes to introduce affordable devices in the Indian market through its M series, with the Samsung Galaxy M51 becoming a key player.
As of now, Samsung has not announced the release date for the Galaxy M51, but the device has appeared in the Geekbench database. According to Geekbench, the phone (code name SM-M515F) features an octa-core Snapdragon SoC and has 8GB of RAM. In the Geekbench 5.1.1 test, it scored 546 points for single-core performance and 1784 points for multi-core performance. However, these scores are very close to those of the Samsung Galaxy A71, which is powered by a Snapdragon 730 SoC, leading to speculation that the new device may use the same chipset.
In addition, since the Galaxy M40 uses the Snapdragon 675, several reports indicate that its successor, the Samsung Galaxy M51, is expected to feature the Snapdragon 730. However, the chip used in the device has not yet been officially confirmed. Unfortunately, as usual, GeekBench’s test data does not clearly specify the device’s chip.
According to previous reports, the phone features a 6.5-inch LCD screen with a 1080 x 2340 resolution. The smartphone will be available in two versions: 6GB RAM with 64GB storage and 8GB RAM with 128GB storage. It has a triple rear camera setup, including a 64MP main camera, an 8MP secondary camera, and a 5MP lens. The front camera is a 16MP selfie camera. Although the battery capacity has not been disclosed, it supports 15W fast charging. The device will feature a rear fingerprint sensor and run on Android 10. Samsung has not yet announced the release date for the Galaxy M51.
