Galaxy M20
The Galaxy M20 is the
more powerful, more expensive model of the bunch. We’re looking at a 6.3-inch
display with 2340 x 1080 resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio, an Exynos 7904
processor, 3GB or 4GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB of storage, microSD support,
13-megapixel (f/1.9) and 5-megapixel (ultrawide f/2.2 lens) rear cameras,
8-megapixel (f/2.0) front camera, 5,000 mAh battery with 15W fast charging,
USB-C connectivity, and headphone jack.
The
Galaxy M20 has 32GB and 64GB of onboard storage options, both of which are
expandable via microSD card (up to 512GB). There is a fingerprint sensor at the
back, and the phone also comes with a face unlock feature. Both the handsets
will also come with a new Samsung Experience version 9.5 UX user interface and
dedicated storage slot expandable to 512GB and dual SIM VoLTE support
.

The Galaxy M10 is
less spectacular, and therefore, more affordable. The M10 features a 6.22-inch
