Merely a month after the launch of the Galaxy M01 in India, Samsung has updated its entry-level M-series phone with beefier specs. The Galaxy M01s has launched in India today with a MediaTek chipset, a larger display, and a fingerprint scanner as upgrades over its predecessor.
Being an entry-level M-series phone, the Galaxy M01s features a bland polycarbonate build. You will find a physical fingerprint sensor and a dual-camera system on the rear. The front features a 6.2-inch HD+ PLS TFT Infinity-V display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and 1520 × 720 resolution.
Samsung has also equipped the Galaxy M01s with a 4,000mAh battery, which is also a little disappointing when you consider the fact that similarly priced phones offer up to 6,000mAh battery. It charges over microUSB, supports a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 4.2, and WiFi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4GHz) to round up the connectivity options.
Samsung has priced the Galaxy M01s at Rs. 9,999 (approx. $133) for the single 3GB+32GB variant. The device will be available to buy in two color variants, namely Light Blue and Gray. There is currently no information on when the device will go on sale, but it will be available at major e-commerce sites, Samsung’s online and offline stores.
