Samsung restarted their midrange lineup in
the middle of 2019 with a new batch of Galaxy A and Galaxy M phones. The
company started spewing devices left and right, but apparently the creative
process can produce only so many phones because the upcoming Galaxy M01 Core is
not new - it is the Galaxy A01 Core, as by a Google Supported Devices listing.
The Galaxy M01 Core is just a new name for
different markets, it holds a a01core designation into Google’s database,
despite having SM-M013F model number. The phone, however, is yet to be released
under any name, so we expect to see which will officially be the first.
Specs-wise, we’re likely looking at a
5.14” TFT screen with no notches, just bezels on top and bottom, a Mediatek MT6739WW
chipset and 1 GB RAM. The images, leaked earlier, show one camera on the back
and one on the front, and it isn’t unlikely to see the back panel being
removable to swap the battery and the SIM cards, because it is a cheaper design
than having a unibody smartphone.
Speaking about prices, the Galaxy A01 and
the Galaxy M01 go for around € 120/US$ 100, so we should expect even lower tag for
the Core variant of the device.
