Most smartphone brands are struggling to keep up with rising memory costs, as production capacity for storage and NAND components is being largely taken up by companies operating in the AI sector. This has forced brands like Samsung and others to procure storage components at higher prices, with the added cost passed on to buyers, even for devices already on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy M47 and Galaxy F70 Pro feature an identical 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protective layer on top. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor powers the devices, while the camera system includes a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP unit for macro shots. Up front, there’s a 12MP selfie shooter. Lastly, a 6,000mAh battery runs the show on the Galaxy M47 and F70 Pro.
Now starting at Rs 35,999, the Samsung smartphones compete against newly released phones, such as the iQOO Z11 and Realme P4s. While both iQOO and Realme handsets should boast better performance and battery life on paper, thanks to their advanced MediaTek Dimensity chipsets and massive battery capacities, the Galaxy M47 and F70 Pro still have an advantage in terms of software functionality and longevity, as the phones are promised six OS upgrades.
That said, if you value a mature, refined software experience, the Galaxy M47 and Galaxy F70 Pro may still be worth considering for users with casual workflows. Also, while the phones are still selling at their older prices on e-commerce platforms, it might be wise to purchase them as soon as possible if you were planning to get them.
