Earlier this month, Samsung launched the Galaxy A15 as its latest affordable 5G smartphone. The company is now readying an M series equivalent of the device, aptly called the Galaxy M15. Like its predecessors, it should mostly be a rebadged Galaxy A15 with a few changes. As expected, the most notable change will be a bigger battery than the A series model.
Samsung’s Galaxy M15 will pack a huge battery
Samsung launches budget and mid-range Android smartphones under three different lineups—A, M, and F series. Some models are mostly rebadged versions of the same device, while others share fewer similarities. For example, this year’s Galaxy A14 and Galaxy M14 have the same design and pack pretty much the same specs. On the other hand, the Galaxy A54 and Galaxy M54 have a lot of dissimilarities, including the display and cameras.
However, despite varying strategies across different price points, Samsung has always packed bigger batteries inside M series phones. The Galaxy A14, Galaxy A34, and Galaxy M54 all have 6,000mAh batteries. Their A series equivalents feature 5,000mAh units. It appears that won’t change with the next-gen models. SamMobile reports that the Galaxy M15 will feature a 6,000mAh battery, 1,000 mAh more than the newly launched Galaxy A15.
The publication doesn’t have any other information about the upcoming M series phone. However, since it is expected to be a rebadged Galaxy A15, we may already have a fair idea about its spec sheet. The latter device sports a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 800 nits brightness. It is available in 4G/LTE and 5G connectivity options, powered by MediaTek’s Helio G99 and Dimensity 6100+ chipsets, respectively.
You get up to 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a triple rear camera setup headed by a 50MP primary shooter, a 13MP front camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner, 25W wired charging, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.3. It remains to be seen whether the Galaxy M15 keeps everything unchanged or if Samsung decides to tweak a few things. The Galaxy A15 runs Android 14 out of the box and will get four major Android OS updates.
The new phone might debut after the Galaxy S24 flagships
Samsung debuted the Galaxy M14 about two months after the Galaxy A14. Based on this, we might not see the Galaxy M15 go official anytime soon. The company may unveil it sometime in February next year. Ahead of that, Samsung has a big launch event coming up for the Galaxy S24 series. The new flagships are expected to break cover on January 17, 2024. We should get to know more about the upcoming budget phone soon.
