If you’re looking at Samsung phones in 2026, the lineup isn’t short on options. Based on current deals shared by tipster Sanju Choudhary, here’s how Samsung’s phones stack up right now and who each one makes sense for.

Galaxy F06 5G: cheap, practical, and meant to last

The Samsung Galaxy F06 5G sits at the very bottom of Samsung’s 5G lineup at ₹8,999. It’s not trying to impress with specs, and that’s fine. You get a large 6.7-inch HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which is good enough for scrolling and video. Brightness goes up to around 800 nits, so outdoor visibility isn’t a constant struggle.

It runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, paired with 4GB or 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, with microSD support. Cameras are basic but usable, with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP front camera. The 5000mAh battery easily gets through a day and supports 25W charging.

The bigger reason to look at the F06 is the software. Samsung is promising four Android OS updates and four years of security patches. For a phone this cheap, that’s a big deal. If you want a no-nonsense phone that won’t feel abandoned after a year, this one makes sense.

Galaxy A35: the safe mid-range pick

At ₹18,249, the Samsung Galaxy A35 feels like the point where Samsung’s phones start getting genuinely comfortable to use. The 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate is a noticeable step up from budget models, especially if you spend a lot of time scrolling or watching videos.

The Exynos 1380 chip is tuned for consistency rather than speed, but it handles daily tasks without fuss. You get 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage, and a triple camera setup with a 50MP main sensor that includes optical image stabilization. Battery size stays at 5000mAh with 25W charging.

Software support is another strong point. The A35 is set to receive four Android OS updates and five years of security updates, which makes it a good long-term buy if you don’t upgrade phones often.

Galaxy A55: the most balanced Samsung phone

At ₹24,999, the Samsung Galaxy A55 is easy to recommend. It has a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a sturdier build, and the Exynos 1480 chipset that feels more refined than earlier mid-range processors.

You can get it with up to 12GB RAM, and the camera setup is more versatile than cheaper models, with a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP macro camera. Battery size stays at 5000mAh with 25W charging.

Like the A35, it gets four Android OS updates and five years of security updates. If someone asks for a Samsung phone that does everything reasonably well without feeling compromised, this is usually the answer.

Galaxy S24 FE: flagship features without flagship pricing

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE at ₹35,999 is where Samsung’s S-series strengths start to show up. You get a large 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and noticeably better cameras.

The phone runs on the Exynos 2400e, with 8GB RAM and storage options going all the way up to 512GB. The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a proper 3x telephoto camera, and an ultra-wide. Battery size is 4700mAh, and you get both wired and wireless charging.

What really sets the S24 FE apart is software support. Samsung promises seven Android OS updates and seven years of security patches, which is rare even in this price range.

Galaxy S24: compact flagship, expected compromises

At ₹39,999, the Samsung Galaxy S24 is one of the few genuinely compact flagships left. The 6.2-inch AMOLED display is sharp and smooth, and performance is top-tier thanks to flagship-grade processors.

Cameras are strong, with a 50MP main sensor and a 3x telephoto, but battery life is just average. That’s the trade-off for the smaller 4000mAh battery. Like the S24 FE, it gets seven OS updates and seven years of security support, which makes it a long-term option if you prefer smaller phones.

Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Edge: two kinds of flagship buyers

At ₹69,999, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is the safe flagship choice. Big screen, strong performance, reliable cameras, fast charging, and seven years of OS and security updates.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (review), priced at ₹89,999, is for a different audience. It’s thinner, uses a titanium frame, and leans heavily into design. Battery capacity takes a hit because of the slim build, but software support still stretches to seven Android OS updates and seven years of security patches.

This one is about owning something that feels different, not about chasing value.
