The Galaxy F62 will be launched in India on February 15, and the smartphone will be available for purchase via Flipkart. Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy F62 will have the best-in-class performance, thanks to its 7nm Exynos 9825 processor. The company claims in its teaser that the phone scores 452,000+ points in AnTuTu, 2,400 points in Geekbench 5’s multi-core test, and 68fps in GFXBench 5 (probably Manhattan 3.1 1080p offscreen).

The company also revealed the first look of the Galaxy F62 on Flipkart’s website. The upcoming smartphone seems to feature a Super AMOLED Infinity-O display at the front, a quad-camera setup at the rear, and a capacitive fingerprint reader on the right side. The rear-camera design appears similar to the Galaxy A12’s camera, and the phone has a gradient pattern on the back.

Previous reports have claimed that the Galaxy F62 will run Android 11 out of the box, have a 7,000mAh battery, and cost less than INR 25,000 (around $350) in India. Other features that we can expect with the phone are a dual-SIM card slot, LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It could be compatible with 25W fast charging.

My thoughts

This is rather interesting, I am guessing that this is an India exclusive but either way, this is kind of bizarre, putting a flagship processor (even though it is a gen or two old) in a sub-500 USD phone is well interesting especially coming from samsung.
