Samsung is believed to launch the Galaxy M40 in India sooner than expected. According to a report from IANS, the upcoming mid-range smartphone will likely debut next month for Rs 25,000. This will make the Galaxy M40 the most expensive smartphone in the M-series.

The IANS report claims the Galaxy M40 will sport a hole-punch screen, a feature which is limited to the Galaxy S10 series. This is the first time Samsung plans to introduce a mid-range smartphone with Infinity-O display.

Instead of a Samsung Exynos processor, the Galaxy M40 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Right now, all existing Galaxy M-series smartphones are powered by a Samsung Exynos chipset. Previous reports have claimed that the Galaxy M40 will be powered by a Snapdragon 675 processor, coupled with 6GB RAM. Redmi Note 7 Pro, one of the most popular smartphones in India, also comes with a Snapdragon 675 processor.
