Samsung introduced its latest M-series phones in India with the Galaxy M06 5G and M16 5G. While new in name, both smartphones are actually rebadged Galaxy A and F-series devices.
Hardware-wise, the Galaxy M16 5G is identical to the Galaxy A16 5G – featuring a 6.7 inch AMOLED (FHD+ 90Hz), Dimensity 6300 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired charging.
The main difference comes around the back, where the cameras are now aligned in a unified island instead of three distinct cutouts. You still get a 50MP main shooter alongside a 5MP ultrawide module and a 2MP macro cam. The phone boots One UI 7 based on Android 15, with Samsung pledging 6 Android OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches.
Galaxy M16 5G comes in Blush Pink, Mint Green and Thunder Black colors. Pricing starts at INR 11,499 ($132) with open sales scheduled for March 5.
Galaxy M06 5G is a rebadged Galaxy F06 5G which was launched earlier this month. The only differences are cosmetic with the M06 being offered in Sage Green and Blazing Black colors.
Galaxy M06 5G will be available with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The software side is covered by One UI Core 7.0 based on Android 15. Samsung is pledging 4 generations of Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches.
Galaxy M06 5G starts at INR 9,499 ($109) with open sales in India scheduled to begin on March 7.
