Now that assembly of Galaxy M phones has started,
we’re bound to see more leaks of the hardware. Today a photo of the screen
glass for the Galaxy M20 has surfaced, showing a teardrop notch – a first for
Samsung, which was one of the few remaining makers without a notch in their
lineup.
That screen measures 5.6” and will reportedly
feature a Super AMOLED panel with 1080p+ resolution. Galaxy On phones (which
the M-series aims to replace) usually sported LCDs in the lower levels and even
the higher standing Galaxy A8s may go with LCD.
The Samsung Galaxy M20 is shaping up to be a very
impressive entry-level phone. Benchmarks show it will be powered by an Exynos
7885 chipset. It will come in two configurations: 3/32GB and 4/64GB. The
rumored battery capacity of 3,300mAh seems quite generous for a phone of this
size and in this market segment.
Other unofficial specifications include a 16MP main
camera on the back and a 5MP selfie cam. No dual cameras by the looks of it
(certainly not on the front). There’s still no indication of Samsung will introduce the new
M-series, but expect to see them in early 2019 (since production is already
underway).
