Samsung Reportedly Starts Galaxy M51 Production; Skipping Galaxy M50

According to the new sources, Samsung has started production of the Galaxy M51 in its Noida factory. The sources close to the South Korean company have confirmed that the Samsung SM-M515 (Galaxy M51) has entered production. However, it is tipped that it is only in the early stage, so the Galaxy M51 should not arrive at any time soon. It seems like Samsung decided to skip the Galaxy M50 and move to the Galaxy M51 directly. It makes a total sense since Samsung has already launched the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 with “1” in their monikers. In addition, it has also planned to launch several smartphones in the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series with the same naming system. Therefore, it would be weird for the brand to announce a new smartphone with the name Galaxy M50. 

For now, Samsung India hasn’t teased or hint anything about the phone yet. And that means the Galaxy M51 price in India and specs are also unknown. We speculate that the handset could arrive as a successor to the Galaxy M40.
