Samsung is bringing three phones to India that are, according to the leak, the same phone wearing three badges. The Galaxy A08 4G launched globally a couple of weeks back, and a retailer pricing document shared by tipster Sanju Choudhary now puts it in India alongside a Galaxy F08 4G and a Galaxy M08 4G.
What The Price Sheet Says
| Phone | RAM + Storage | Price (INR) | Approx USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A08 LTE | 4GB + 64GB | 18,499 | $192 |
| Galaxy F08 LTE | 4GB + 64GB | 16,999 | $177 |
| Galaxy M08 LTE | 4GB + 64GB | 16,999 | $177 |
All three come in a single 4GB RAM and 64GB storage configuration at those prices.
The split is by store. F08 goes to Flipkart, M08 to Amazon, and the A08 sells through Samsung’s usual retail channels. Samsung does this every year in India, and the F and M variants nearly always undercut the A model they’re cloned from.
What You Get For The Money
The A08 4G’s global spec sheet is the one to go by, since the tipster says the other two are near enough the same phone:
- 6.7-inch 720×1600 LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and a waterdrop notch
- MediaTek Helio G99 with UFS 2.2 storage
- 50MP main camera with a 2MP secondary, 8MP on the front
- 6,000mAh battery with 25W wired charging
- 8mm thick, 197g, IP64 rated
- 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot, both still here
Samsung is promising six years of updates, which for a phone at this price is the number that actually matters. Plenty of budget phones get two years and then go quiet.
Nothing Is Confirmed Yet
Samsung hasn’t announced the launch date, teased the phones, or confirmed any of these prices, and the leak came from what looks like an internal note to Indian retailers rather than anything official. That kind of document usually means launch is weeks away rather than months, though the disagreement over the A08’s price suggests the numbers weren’t final when the note went out.
