Samsung had announced last week that it would soon launch the Galaxy S20 FE 5G in India. However, that's not the only 5G Galaxy smartphone making its way to the country. Samsung appears to be planning to launch multiple mid-range 5G smartphones in India despite the market lacking any 5G network.

The South Korean smartphone giant could launch the Galaxy A42 5G (SM-A426B/DS), Galaxy M42 5G (SM-M426B/DS), and the Galaxy M62 5G in India. While the Galaxy M62 5G appeared in BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) listings last week, the Galaxy A42 5G and the Galaxy M42 5G have now been listed in the BIS certification database. Moreover, a dedicated support webpage for the Galaxy M42 5G has also been listed on Samsung India's website. This could mean that the two smartphones may soon launch in India.

The Galaxy A42 5G is already available in various markets worldwide. However, the Galaxy M42 5G hasn't been officially unveiled by Samsung yet. It could share a lot of its specifications and features with the Galaxy A42 5G, though. It features a bigger, 6,000mAh battery, a 64MP quad-camera setup, and 128GB internal storage. It is still unclear if the Galaxy M42 5G will use the same processor as that of the Galaxy A42 5G.

The Galaxy M62 5G is said to be a variant of the Galaxy A52 5G with a bigger battery. It could feature a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone could also have a Snapdragon 750G processor, 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, a 64MP OIS quad-camera setup, a 32MP selfie camera, a 6,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging, and a USB Type-C port.
