The Galaxy F62 is the rumored re-brand of the Galaxy M62 smartphone said to be exclusive to India. Samsung has reportedly unveiled its marketing campaign for this device on Flipkart. It seeks to hold consumer attention until February 8, 2021, whereupon the phone might either be launched or leaked officially in more detail.

The Galaxy M62 is rumored to launch with the same massive 7,000mAh battery as its predecessor the M51, but will improve on it with specs such as a new 256GB internal storage limit that may have helped it get mistaken for a tablet rather than a phone in its initial leaks. It may be available in a number of markets, India included; however, the OEM is said to be on the point of rebranding it as the F62 in that country.

The leaker @TechnicalGujuri claims to have gleaned more information on the Galaxy F41 successor's promotional efforts, which will apparently be presented in conjunction with Flipkart. The F62 has apparently acquired the new tagline of #FullonSpeedy, which might refer to the Exynos 9825 processor only heretofore seen in the Note 10 series.

This spec seems to have been confirmed in a new hype poster, as has its new design, square rear camera and all. Flipkart's mobile app also now allegedly contains a page advertising "more" on the F62 to be revealed on February 8, 2021. Whether this is the phone's actual launch date or not is uncertain - however, as it is also that of the Xiaomi Mi 11 (global edition), that would be a slightly odd choice.

It remains to be seen if a glimpse of the Galaxy F62 can outshine that of a whole Snapdragon 888-powered flagship - then again, with its rarified battery capacity (and hype), it might stand a much better chance than the average mid-ranger. It is rumored to come in at around INR 25,000 (~US$343) on its debut, which makes sense as the M51 is currently INR 22,999 (~$316) on Amazon.in.
