Samsung Galaxy F70 5G to launch in India on 18 October with Exynos 1330, 50 MP OIS camera

Samsung will introduce the Galaxy F70 5G in India on 18 October, with Flipkart as the main sales partner. Several hardware details have already been disclosed through teasers, but the company has not yet announced the price or the memory configurations.

Specifications disclosed so far

According to 91mobiles, which cited Samsung’s India microsite, and reports by MobiGyaan and Smartprix, the handset will offer:

• Exynos 1330 processor with 5G support
• Full HD+ Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus
• 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, plus 5 MP ultra-wide and 2 MP macro sensors
• 13 MP front camera
• 5,000 mAh battery with 25W wired charging
• A 7.5 mm thick body

91mobiles reported the display size as 6.7 inches, while Smartprix said the size had not been stated. MobiGyaan and Smartprix listed Lilac Bliss and Bliss Black as the colour options and said Samsung has committed to four Android version upgrades and five years of security patches.

Per the reports, the main camera sits in a vertical module on the back, and the selfie camera is housed in a waterdrop notch at the top of the display. Samsung Knox security and Samsung Wallet support are also listed among the software features, according to MobiGyaan.

What it may cost

A Flipkart teaser displays the starting price in the form “₹1X,XXX”, which 91mobiles took to mean the phone will cost less than ₹20,000. Smartprix noted that the price remains unannounced and that any specific figure, such as ₹19,999, is speculation at this stage. MobiGyaan said introductory offers could reduce the effective price.

Launch details still awaited

None of the reports gave a launch time. RAM and storage options are also expected to be revealed on launch day. Apart from Flipkart, the phone will be sold through Samsung’s own online store, according to MobiGyaan and Smartprix.
