Samsung Galaxy F62 headed to global markets, but with a different name
Launching on March 3
The Samsung Galaxy F62 made its debut in India a couple of weeks back. Soon, the device will be launched outside of India, but with a different name and in a different series.
The Samsung Galaxy F62 will be launched in Malaysia as the Samsung Galaxy M62 on March 3. Samsung Malaysia has also posted a teaser on Facebook which reveals the phone's design and also confirms the mammoth 7,000mAh battery. The teaser reveals Samsung's Galaxy F62's Laser Blue and Laser Black colour variants.
The e-commerce website or the Facebook page doesn't offer us any other information which leaves use to join the dots. The Samsung Galaxy M62 was spotted on the Geekbench database with a 7,000mAh battery, 25W fast charging, Exynos 9825 processor, 6GB of RAM and Android 11 OS.
These specs match the Galaxy F62 which made its global debut in India as a mid-range phone with a massive battery. By the look of the images and previously leaked specs, it looks like the Galaxy F62 will be launched as the Galaxy M62 in Malaysia on March 3.
Samsung has done this kind of rebranding in the past as well. The Galaxy F41 which was the first F series device in India was a rebranded Galaxy M21s from Brazil.
