Samsung has officially launched the Samsung Galaxy F08 4G and the Galaxy M08 4G, two new budget phones in its Indian lineup. Both offer a big battery, a 50MP main camera, and the Helio G99+ chipset, along with six generations of OS upgrades and security updates until 2032. Here is a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy F08 4G, including its expected Nepal price, specifications, and availability.
- 6.7″ HD+ PLS LCD display, 90Hz refresh rate
- MediaTek Helio G99+ chipset, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage
- 50MP rear camera and 8MP front camera
- 6,000mAh battery, 25W wired charging
- Android 17, One UI 9, up to 6 major OS updates
Samsung Galaxy F08 4G Overview
Design and Display
The handset measures 167.4 x 77.4 x 8 mm and weighs 197 grams, which is fairly typical for a phone carrying a large battery. It uses a glass front with a plastic back and frame. IP64 protection guards against dust and water splashes, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles unlocking.
Up front sits a 6.7-inch PLS LCD with 720 x 1600 resolution. The 90Hz display makes scrolling feel smoother than on standard 60Hz panels. Sharpness lands around 262 ppi, so text stays readable, though not razor sharp. The Samsung Galaxy F08 4G also keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack and a loudspeaker.
Performance
Power comes from the MediaTek Helio G99+ built on a 6nm process. The octa-core CPU pairs two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.2GHz with six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz, while a Mali-G57 MC2 handles graphics. That setup suits calls, social apps, video streaming, and light gaming without much drama.
Memory stays modest at 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, with a dedicated microSD slot for expansion. The phone runs Android 17 with One UI 9 on top. Samsung promises six years of updates, covering up to six major OS upgrades and security patches until September 2032. Heavy multitaskers may feel the 4GB limit eventually.
Camera
The rear setup pairs a 50MP main sensor, with f/1.8 aperture and PDAF, with a 2MP secondary lens that mainly helps with depth. Daylight shots should come out decent, with enough detail for social posts. An LED flash helps in dim scenes, though night results will likely stay average at this price.
Selfies rely on an 8MP front camera with an f/2.0 lens, enough for video calls and casual portraits. Video recording tops out at 1080p, with 30fps confirmed in Samsung’s India listing. Camera features are basic, as there is no OIS, but the main sensor should handle everyday shooting for typical buyers.

Battery and Connectivity
A 6000mAh battery is the main talking point, and it should comfortably last a full day or more of normal use. Charging runs at 25W wired speed, though the charger is sold separately in India. That makes the Samsung Galaxy F08 4G a sensible choice for anyone shopping for a Samsung budget phone with 6000mAh of capacity.
Connectivity covers dual SIM 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, and GPS with GLONASS, Galileo, and BDS. A USB Type-C 2.0 port and an FM radio are included, while NFC is missing. There is no 5G, which keeps the price down but limits future-proofing.
