Samsung has silently launched the Galaxy A06 4G smartphone in India at a price point below Rs 10,000. The device was launched globally back in August and it comes in India with the same specifications as the global model. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Samsung Galaxy A06: India Price, Availability

Samsung Galaxy A06 has been launched in India for Rs 9,999 for the 4GB + 64GB model and Rs 11,499 for the 4GB + 128GB model. The latest Galaxy A series smartphone is available in Light Blue, Black, and Gold hues. It can currently be bought via the Samsung India online store. The handset will also be available through major online and offline stores in the coming days.

Samsung Galaxy A06: Specifications

The Galaxy A06 has a 6.7-inch PLS LCD panel with an Infinity-U notch, 60Hz refresh rate, and an HD+ resolution. The smartphone is powered by MediaTek Helio G85 Processor which is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. There’s support for microSD card storage expansion also.

It packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. For optics, the Galaxy A06 has a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.8 Aperture and a 2-megapixel f/2.4 depth sensor. There’s an 8-megapixel f/2.0 front facing shooter.

It includes connectivity features such as Dual-SIM support, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm Headphone jack. It has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The device runs on Android 14-based One UI 6.1 and will receive two major Android OS updates.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has been a part of the rumour mill since the beginning of the year, and as its launch nears, new information about the device keeps emerging online. The latest information has revealed the potential price of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 FE in India.

As tipped by Yogesh Brar on X, the Galaxy S24 FE India price could be set at around Rs 50,000. As per Brar, the device will be available in up to 12GB + 256GB variant, so there’s no word on which variant could cost around Rs 50,000 in the country. Last year, the Galaxy S23 FE launched at Rs 59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model, while the top-end model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage was priced at Rs 64,999.

The leak suggests that Samsung could reduce the price of the S24 FE over its predecessor. However, there’s no official confirmation regarding this, and we’ll have to wait for Samsung to announce the device. The S23 FE came in October last year, and Samsung is rumoured to follow that launch timeline for the S24 FE as well, where it will also announce the Galaxy Tab S10 series alongside.

Galaxy S24 FE will be available in at least five colours, including Graphite, Blue, Silver/White, Green and Yellow. There’ll likely be two more options that will be exclusive to Samsung’s website.

Galaxy S24 FE: Specifications (Rumoured)

The S24 FE will sport a 6.7-inch display and will support up to 1,900 nits of peak brightness. Under the hood of the handset is an Exynos 2400e processor, which should be much more efficient than the Chipset used in Galaxy S23 FE, and seems to be a variant of the Exynos 2400 SoC which launched with Galaxy S24 earlier this year.

We saw some significant improvements in Exynos 2400 over its predecessor when we used the Galaxy S24+ and the Galaxy S24. We expect similar improvements to be a part of the Galaxy S24 FE, too. Next, the handset will pack an IP68 rating which means it will be able to handle water and dust without any issues.

With a 4,600mAh battery inside, the Galaxy S24 FE is claimed to offer far better battery life despite having a marginally larger cell. It will offer up to 78 hours of battery life when listening to music and audio or about 29 hours when watching video. The device will charge at 25W speeds.

Then, this Samsung phone will be running on One UI 6.1.1 out of the box, also packing Galaxy AI features like Portrait Studio. For optics, it will sport a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide angle sensor, paired with an 8MP telephoto sensor. There’ll be a 10MP sensor on the front.

HMD’s upcoming lineup of smartphones has leaked multiple times before, one of which is HMD Hyper. While the device has leaked once before, the same source has revealed new colours of the HMD Hyper, with the device in three new shades apart from the yellow hue.

The HMD Hyper colours, as per leaker @smashx_60 on X, will include four hues: green, red, yellow, and gray. The higher-resolution renders suggest that the device could have an aluminium frame with a matte finish. It will retain the look of the recently unveiled HMD Skyline.

HMD is on a spree of reviving the old Nokia Lumia design with its new devices, and the HMD Hyper is another testament of that strategy. The device will have triple rear cameras on the back, while the HMD branding sits in the middle.

As for the specs, the HMD Hyper will sport a 6.55-inch FHD+ OLED display with a full-HD+ resolution and a 120Hz Refresh Rate. It will draw power from a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor paired with an Adreno 710 GPU. It will be available in an 8GB + 256GB model, where the storage will also support expansion via a microSD card.

The HMD handset will sport triple rear cameras: a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 13MP telephoto sensor, and an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor, along with a 50MP sensor on the front with Autofocus support. The cameras can record up to 4K resolution video at 30 frames per second. A 4700mAh battery with 33W fast charging’ll back it.

Next, the handset will also be IP54-rated. It’ll support Bluetooth v5.2, NFC, Wi-Fi 5, and likely also 5G and GPS for connectivity. Finally, there will be a stereo speaker setup for audio.
