It’s Saturday morning, January 31, 2026, and if you’ve been waiting for a phone that won’t cost more than your rent, Samsung just decided to make February very interesting. Between a brand-new series and a 5G budget king, they’re basically flooding the “under 30K” zone. Or nothing.

The Samsung “Feb-Rush”: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where Samsung is trying to reclaim the Gen Z crowd from the Chinese brands. Here’s the ground reality of what’s coming:
-
The Galaxy F70 Mystery: Samsung officially announced the Galaxy F70 series yesterday. They’re positioning it as a “camera powerhouse” for content creators. The thing is, while the series goes up to 30K, the first model dropping in February is expected in the ₹10,000–₹15,000 bracket. Let’s be real—it’s meant for Reels and Shorts. Those too.
-
The “Fame Up” Teaser: A Flipkart microsite is already live with the tagline “It’s your time to Fame Up.” We’re hearing rumors of an Exynos 1330+ (or newer) and a 6.7-inch AMOLED with a 90Hz refresh rate. And here’s the kicker—it might be a rebranded version of the Galaxy A07 5G with some “Gen Z” color tweaks like a vibrant green.
-
The AI Twist: Samsung is promising “innovative AI-powered features” even at this price. Expect things like Object Eraser and AI Image Enhancer to be front and center. They want to give you that “S-series vibe” on a student budget. Or nothing.
-
The Galaxy A07 5G Anchor: Launching in the first week of February, this one is for the “big battery” fans. We’re looking at a massive 6,000 mAh cell (up 20% from last year) and, surprisingly, 6 years of OS updates. 6 years! That’s basically support until 2032. Those too.

Samsung’s February “Budget” Lineup
| Feature | Galaxy F70 (1st Model) | Galaxy A07 5G |
| Price (Expected) | ₹11,000 – ₹14,000 | ₹11,000 – ₹13,000 |
| Display | 6.7″ AMOLED (90Hz) | 6.7″ HD+ LCD (120Hz) |
| Battery | 5,000 mAh (25W) | 6,000 mAh (25W) |
| Main Camera | 50 MP (High-Res Focus) | 50 MP (Track Camera Deco) |
| Selling Point | AI Camera & “Fame” Style | 6-Year Updates & Battery |
And Here’s the Kicker…
Samsung is revealing the full F70 spec sheet this Monday, February 2. The timing is interesting because the Redmi Note 15 series just landed, and it’s a total specs-war out there. The thing is, Samsung is betting on “software longevity” (those 6 years of updates) rather than just raw speed. Those too.
One side comment—if you’re an early buyer, keep an eye on the Flipkart bank offers. Rumor has it there’s a ₹1,500 instant discount for HDFC/ICICI cards on launch day. It’s an ongoing situation. Or nothing.
