Samsung Galaxy M08 and F08 Official in India: Full Specs, 6,000mAh Battery and 6-Year Updates

Samsung has made the Galaxy M08 and Galaxy F08 official for India, positioning the two 4G phones around a 6,000mAh battery, a 50MP main camera and unusually long software support for their class. The hardware is essentially identical; the confirmed distinction is colour. Samsung has not yet announced official India pricing or an exact sale date, so leaked ₹16,999 figures should not be treated as confirmed.

What is the difference between Galaxy M08 and Galaxy F08?

Based on Samsung’s current India listings and corroborating launch coverage, the two phones share the same core specifications. The confirmed difference is the finish: the M08 is listed in Silver and the F08 in Dark Blue. Samsung often uses its M and F families for different sales channels, but shoppers should wait for Samsung’s final availability details before assuming a specific retailer or price.

That makes the choice primarily a question of final street price, availability and preferred colour. The long support window is particularly notable for buyers who keep budget phones for several years, although long software support does not change the fact that the Helio G99+ platform is 4G-only.

Price and availability: what is confirmed?

Samsung has confirmed the 4GB + 64GB configuration and India listings, but it has not announced official M08 or F08 pricing or an exact sale date as of October 2, 2026. Reports citing ₹16,999 are based on pre-launch leaked pricing, not a final Samsung price announcement. That distinction matters when comparing these models with the already covered Galaxy A08.
