Samsung has launched the Galaxy F04 in India. It is an affordable Android smartphone priced at INR 9,499, but it will be available for INR 7,499 when you factor in the launch day discount of INR 1,000 and a cashback of INR 1,000 via ICICI Bank cards. The phone will be available from January 12 through Flipkart and Samsung.
The Galaxy F04 features a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with an Infinity-V notch and HD+ resolution. It comes equipped with the MediaTek Helio P35 processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB internal storage. It also features up to 4GB of virtual RAM, which Samsung calls RAM Plus. Storage space can be expanded using a microSD card (compatible with up to 1TB card). Unfortunately, the device runs Android 12-based One UI 4.1 software, and not the latest Android 13. Samsung has promised to offer two major Android OS updates to the device.
On the front, the Galaxy F04 has a 5MP selfie camera. On the rear, it has a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. It can record Full HD videos through its front and rear cameras. Connectivity features of the phone include GPS, dual-SIM card slot, LTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and supports up to 15W fast charging.
Samsung has two color variants of the Galaxy F04 on offer: Jade Purple and Opal Green. The device lacks a fingerprint reader, which is a bummer, but Samsung is offering face unlock as a consolation feature.
