Samsung has unveiled two new mid-range smartphones in India under its M-series lineup: the Galaxy M06 5G and the Galaxy M16 5G. Although these models are essentially rebranded versions of the Galaxy A16 5G and Galaxy F06 5G, they feature subtle design enhancements while maintaining the same core specifications, catering to users seeking affordable 5G devices with long-term software support.
The Galaxy M16 5G boasts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, along with a refreshed design that includes a unified camera island—setting it apart from previous models with separate camera rings. In contrast, the Galaxy M06 5G offers a similar-sized LCD display aimed at budget-conscious consumers. The M16 is available in Thunder Black, Mint Green, and Blush Pink, while the M06 comes in Sage Green and Blazing Black.

In photography, the M16 5G features a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro shooter, while the M06 5G also includes a 50MP primary sensor but may offer a less comprehensive camera system. For selfies, the M16 is equipped with a 13MP front camera compared to an 8MP sensor on the M06.
Both smartphones pack a 5000mAh battery with 25W wired charging for quick recharges and long-lasting performance. The Galaxy M16 5G is priced at INR 11,499 (approximately $132) with sales beginning on March 5, while the Galaxy M06 5G starts at INR 9,499 (around $109) and will be available starting March 7.
