Samsung has officially launched the Samsung Galaxy M08 4G and Galaxy F08 4G, two new budget phones in its Indian lineup. Both bring a big battery, a 50MP main camera and the Helio G99+ chipset to the entry-level segment. Samsung says the Galaxy M08 will get six generations of OS upgrades and six years of security updates, stretching software life to around 2032. Let’s take a closer look at what the phone brings, along with its expected price in Nepal, 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 M08 4G
Design and Display
The Galaxy M08 comes with a 6.7-inch HD+ PLS LCD that runs at 720 x 1,600 pixels. Several listings also mention a 90Hz refresh rate, which should make scrolling and swiping feel smoother than on a standard 60Hz budget screen. It looks well suited to videos, social media and everyday browsing.
The build is practical as well. The phone measures 167.4 x 77.4 x 8.0mm and weighs 197 grams, so it is a fairly large handset. An IP64 rating guards against dust and water splashes, and the fingerprint sensor sits on the side for quick unlocking. Silver is the colour seen in listings so far.
Performance
The Samsung Galaxy M08 4G runs on the MediaTek Helio G99+, an octa-core chip built on a 6nm process with speeds of up to 2.2GHz. Paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, expandable by microSD up to 2TB, it should handle calls, chats, streaming and casual gaming without much trouble.
On the software side, the phone ships with Android 17 and Samsung’s One UI 9 on top. Samsung promises up to six major OS updates and six years of security patches, which carries support to around 2032. Circle to Search, Quick Share, Knox Vault and SmartThings are also included. They round out daily use nicely.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy M08 4G uses a dual rear setup led by a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and autofocus. A 2MP secondary sensor supports it, while digital zoom reaches up to 10x. Video recording is available at Full HD resolution and 30fps, which is standard for this segment.
An 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Daylight photos should look decent for social media posts, though low-light shots from a budget sensor can come out softer. The 2MP lens plays only a minor role, so the 50MP main camera does most of the work in everyday shooting.

Battery and Connectivity
The Samsung Galaxy M08 4G packs a 6,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging, which should comfortably last a full day for most users. Samsung does not include a charger in the box, so buyers will need to purchase one separately. Heavy users may still want to top up in the evening.
Connectivity covers 4G, dual SIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS and USB Type-C. As the name suggests, this is a 4G model, so there is no 5G support. The 3.5mm headphone jack has also been kept, which is a small but welcome touch for people who still use wired earphones daily.
