Samsung Galaxy F02s may debut as a rebadged Galaxy A02s/M02s, hints Google Play Console
Samsung has recently unveiled several new smartphones including flagships and mid-rangers. Now, as per the latest info, the company is preparing to add a new member to its Galaxy F series. The information is discovered through the certification of a new smartphone on the Google Play Console. And, it is said that the key specs of this upcoming phone will be similar to the Galaxy A02s/M02s.
Specifications: [Expected]
Samsung Galaxy F02s (SM-EO25F) said to sport an HD+ display, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM, and the company may ship it with Android 10-based One UI 2.5 Core out of the box.
However, the Galaxy A02s has launched with a price point of approx INR 13,000 for 3GB RAM and 32GB storage in India with black and white colors. So, we can expect that the Galaxy F02s might also fall on the same criteria with respect to the pricing and color options.
Just to recall, last month the Korean tech giant unveiled the Galaxy F62 that is powered by a flagship-grade Exynos 9825 chipset at a starting price of INR 23,999. The company targeted it as a high-performance mid-range smartphone at a lesser price.

Lastly, Samsung is yet to reveal the details of the Galaxy F02s officially. But, watching the recent launches, we can expect this device to be launched through Flipkart. The base variant will likely cost about the same as the Galaxy M02s, which was released in January this year for INR 8,999 ($123).

Samsung is returning the Exynos chip, while the next Galaxy S Ultra will solely use the Snapdragon chipset. Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the Galaxy S23 Ultra already surpasses the iPhone 15 Pro Max in graphics tests, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the next gaming king.
In a recent GPU compute test on Geekbench 6, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scored over 15,000 points, 60% higher than the GPU score (9,000 points) of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Since the Galaxy S24 Ultra will boast the 8 Gen 3’s “for Galaxy” variant, the GPU performance will likely be even better.
