The Galaxy M01, whose presence we confirmed last month, passed through the Wi-Fi Alliance's certification process a few days ago. Yesterday, it appeared in the Google Play Console, revealing some of its specifications. Now, the upcoming entry-level smartphone has appeared in the FCC certification documents.
It appears that the Galaxy M01 is just a variant of the Galaxy A01 with a larger battery. The FCC certification documents clearly mention that the only differences between the Galaxy A01 and the Galaxy M01 are battery capacity, model number, and a few changes in supported network bands. The Galaxy A01 uses a 3000mAh battery, while the Galaxy M01 uses a 4000mAh cell.
Going by Samsung's declaration, the Galaxy M01 (SM-M015G/DS) should have a 5.7-inch HD+ TFT display with a V-shaped notch for the selfie camera. It runs Android 10 with One UI 2.0 and is equipped with the Snapdragon 439 processor, 2GB/3GB RAM, 16GB storage, and a microSD card slot. It should come with a 13MP+2MP dual-camera on the rear and a 5MP selfie camera.
The dual-SIM smartphone comes with GPS, 4G LTE (Band 1/3/5/8/40/41), single-band Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, microUSB 2.0 port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device appears to be lacking a fingerprint sensor, so it would depend on face unlock, PIN, and password for security. We expect Samsung to launch the Galaxy M01 in the next few weeks.
