Samsung Galaxy F41 launched in India, here’s everything you need to know
Samsung India, earlier today, announced the launch of a new budget smartphone. The new handset belongs to a completely new series of devices from the company - the Galaxy F series and is called the Samsung Galaxy F41. Contrary to what you might have thought, the F in Galaxy F41 doesn’t denote that the smartphone is foldable. As amply evident from the spec-sheet below, the Samsung Galaxy F41 is a budget smartphone that is quite similar to the company’s existing M series lineup – including the most recent M Series device - the Samsung Galaxy M Prime. Let’s take a look at what the Galaxy F41 has on offer to consumers in India.
Display, styling
The Samsung Galaxy F41 could be easily mistaken for a Samsung M Series phone since the overall design language is the same. The phone comes in similar color options as several M Series devices: Fusion black, Fusion Blue, and Fusion Green. The rear panel houses triple cameras while there is a single front-facing camera located inside the U-shaped ‘Infinity Notch’. The display measures 6.4-inches across and happens to be an AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 420 nits and a claimed contrast ratio of 78960:1.
The display also gets Gorilla Glass 3 for screen protection. The phone gets Widewine L1 certification for HD playback of DRM content. At 8.6mm, the Galaxy F41 is quite thin for a device with a large battery capacity.
Hardware, Camera
Powering the Samsung Galaxy F41 is the Exynos 9611 chipset, which seems to be Samsung’s favorite SoC for its budget lineup. Based on a 10nm manufacturing process, this chipset houses a 2.3GHz octa-core processor and the ARM Mali G72 MP3 GPU for graphics. The phone comes with 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and two storage options; 64GB and 128GB. The dual SIM handset supports 4G VoLTE networks and gets a triple slot that can house two SIM cards and a microSD card simultaneously.
The Galaxy F41 gets a triple camera setup at the rear, including a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 5MP depth camera. The phone supports Samsung’s popular Single Take feature. The front camera uses a 32MP sensor and also supports the Single Take feature. The phone is capable of 4K video capture even with the front-facing camera.
Like most M Series phones, the Galaxy F41 also features a massive 6,000mAH battery with 15W fast charging support.
