Samsung Galaxy M10 and M20 announced: Ultra-wide angle cameras, waterdrop notches
June 22, 2025
Samsung has been sparring with Chinese brands in India over the past few years, asXiaomiandRealmesecure a foothold in the region. We’ve seen the Korean firmlaunchdevices as a response to this challenge before, and it’s got more up its sleeve in the new Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20.
Samsung’s latestbudget phonestarget the entry-level segment and the lower end of the mid-range bracket respectively.Our Galaxy M10 review is already live so ensure to check that out here. Our GalaxyM20 reviewis coming tomorrow!
Samsung Galaxy M10 and M20 key features
Starting with the Galaxy M10, we’ve got a phone with modest internals (an ageingExynos 7870chipset, 2GB to 3GB of RAM, 16GB to 32GB of expandable storage), and a 6.22-inch HD+ LCD screen with a waterdropnotch. But the phone also stands out from other low-end offerings by offering a 3,400mAh battery, and a 13MP+5MP ultra wide camera pairing. It’s rare to seeultra-wide angle rear camerasin an entry-level phone, even if the resolution here means resolvable detail is likely to be disappointing.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy M20 offers theExynos 7904SoC, 3GB to 4GB of RAM, 32GB to 64GB of expandable storage, and a 6.3-inch full HD+ LCD screen with a waterdrop notch. But its unique selling point is a5,000mAh battery, which easily bests theRedmiseries andRealmerange in sheer capacity. Otherwise, the M20 offers the same 13MP+5MP ultra wide rear camera pairing seen on its cheaper stablemate.
It’s clear Samsung has cut corners to meet the Galaxy M10 price-point, but there are more cuts to be had. We’ve got a 5MP front camera instead of the M20’s 8MP shooter, microUSB instead ofUSB-C, and no fingerprint scanner at all. you’re able to read all about these spec differences between the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 overhere.
Price and availability
So what exactly is the price point, then? Well, the Samsung Galaxy M10 has a suggested price of 7,990 rupees (~$112) for the 2GB/16GB model, while the 3GB/32GB variant will retail for 8,990 rupees (~$126).
The 3GB/32GB Galaxy M20 will retail for 10,990 rupees (~$154), and the 4GB/64GB model has an asking price of 12,990 rupees (~$183). The former price means Samsung is certainly going up against the likes of the ~$112 Redmi 6, ~$127Redmi S2, the ~$106 realme C1, and the ~$134realme 2. The latter price pits the M20 squarely against devices like Xiaomi’sRedmi Noteseries and the ~$197realme 2 Pro.
Both phones will be available in Ocean Blue and Charcoal Black color options via the Samsung website and Amazon India. We expect Samsung to release the M10 and M20 globally as well, but so far we have no information regarding international availability.
