Samsung’s Galaxy M series is a line of low-budget smartphones that is sold only online. The most powerful model in the series should be unveiled soon, and that would be the Galaxy M51. Rumored specs include a China Star OLED panel that makes this possibly the first Samsung phone with AMOLED screen to use a screen that was not manufactured by the phone manufacturer. The Snapdragon 730 SoC is expected to be under the hood along with 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage; An on-screen fingerprint scanner is believed to be on board. Around the back is a four-camera setup that includes a 64MP rear camera. A front piercing snapper will take selfies.
On Friday, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group website revealed that the Galaxy M51 had been certified with Bluetooth 5.0 on board. The list also revealed the model number of the SM-M515F phone. The latest rumor says that the phone will launch in September in line with the usual one or two months after receiving certification.

In India, both the Galaxy M series and the Galaxy A line are Samsung’s answer to Xiaomi. The latter’s value-for-money phones sell well in the country where Xiaomi is the most popular phone maker. India is the second largest smartphone market in the world; However, being a developing country, pricing is of great importance. During the second quarter, Samsung was third in the country after Xiaomi and Vivo after sending 2.9 million phones from April to June. That was 60% less than the 7.3 million units it delivered during the same quarter last year.
