Samsung is preparing to launch two new smartphones in India: the Galaxy M16 and Galaxy M06 5G. Both devices will be part of the popular Galaxy M series, following in the footsteps of last year’s Galaxy M15 and M05. The new models are expected to bring upgraded features, and Amazon India has already teased the launch date for these upcoming devices.

Launch Date Confirmed

Amazon India has confirmed that the Galaxy M16 and Galaxy M06 5G will be officially unveiled on February 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM IST. The announcement was made via a dedicated landing page, which also shared a design sketch of the two phones. From the sketch, it’s clear that the Galaxy M16 will feature a triple rear camera setup, while the M06 5G will have a dual rear camera configuration.

What to Expect from the Galaxy M16 and M06 5G

Both phones will feature pill-shaped camera modules, with the camera units arranged vertically, and a circular LED flash placed outside the camera housing. Based on the design and recent leaks, here’s what we can expect:

• Galaxy M16: This model is rumored to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC and may come with 8GB of RAM. It is expected to run on Android 14 with One UI 6 and will likely offer significant upgrades over last year’s Galaxy M15.
• Galaxy M06 5G: The M06 5G is expected to feature a dual rear camera setup and will likely have similar specs, though with a more affordable price point compared to the M16.
