Samsung officially launched the new and highly anticipated Galaxy M20 and Galaxy M10 phones, part of new Samsung M series of smartphones, at the start of this week in India. The devices have for long been marketed as one for India-first, with a target pinned to the millennials.

based on Samsung Experience 9.5 UX, both have Infinity-V Displays with an 19:9 aspect ratio, and both carry dual rear camera setups on them.
