New Delhi: In a bid to take on Xiaomi’s popular “Redmi” series, South Korean giant Samsung is all set to launch two industry-first Galaxy ‘M’ smartphones, starting from Rs 7,990, on January 28, reliable industry sources told on Saturday.

The 3GB and 32GB variant of Galaxy M20 will cost Rs 10,990 (as earlier reported by IANS) and 4GB and 64GB variant will cost Rs 12,990.

Both the smartphones will be available on Amazon.in from March 5. India will be the first country where the new series smartphones will be launched. The ‘M’ series will also be available on Samsung’s online store. “India is the first market



for the global launch of ‘M’ series. It will go to other markets later. The ‘M’ portfolio which will be made available through online channel is single-mindedly designed and intended for millennials,” Asim Warsi, Global Vice President, Samsung India, had told IANS earlier this month.

Galaxy M20 will house a massive 5,000mAh battery while M10 will house a 3,400mAh battery. “You will see evocative display, massive battery with power management solutions, memory management solutions, fast charging technology — all in ‘M’ devices. “In one word, these are powerful devices, made for India keeping the local requirements in mind,” Warsi added.
