After teasing a new mid-range smartphone for over a week, Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy F62 in India. The new smartphone features an interesting set of specifications, including a high-end processor and a massive battery.
The Galaxy F62 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ Infinity-O display with Full HD+ resolution and Gorilla Glass 3+ protection. It runs Android 11 with One UI 3.1 out of the box.

The phone can record 4K videos using front and rear cameras.
Samsung has equipped the Galaxy F62 with the Exynos 9825 processor, which was also used in the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Note 10+. The Exynos 9825 is a 7nm chipset with two Mongoose M4 CPU cores, two Cortex-A75 CPU cores, four Cortex-A55 CPU cores, and a Mali-G76 MP12 GPU. The processor is faster than all the mid-range processors right now. The phone has 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot.

In India, the Galaxy F62 is priced at INR 23,999 (around $330) for the variant with 6GB RAM and INR 25,999 (around $358) for the variant with 8GB RAM.
