Samsung has quietly expanded its mid-range lineup with the Galaxy M47. While it shares plenty with the recently launched Galaxy A27, there’s one upgrade that immediately stands out. It has a much larger 6000mAh battery.
The new handset has officially launched in India. It pairs that bigger battery with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset and a 120Hz AMOLED display. Additionally, Samsung offers its promise of six years of Android and security updates. For buyers after a phone that prioritises longevity over flashy extras, the M47 looks like one of Samsung’s more compelling budget options.
The battery is arguably the headline feature. At 6000mAh, it’s larger than the Galaxy A27‘s cell and supports 45W wired charging. Samsung has also included bypass charging. This powers the phone directly from the charger instead of the battery when plugged in. It’s a feature that’s becoming increasingly common on gaming phones. It helps reduce heat during long gaming sessions while also limiting battery wear.
Elsewhere, the Galaxy M47 closely mirrors the Galaxy A27. It sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. A 12MP selfie camera sits inside the centred punch-hole cutout.
Underneath, Samsung has paired Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 with either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM. There is also 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. On the back, there’s a familiar triple-camera setup. This setup consists of a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor.
Software is another area where Samsung continues to stand out. The Galaxy M47 ships with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16. The company is committing to six generations of Android OS upgrades as well as six years of security patches. That’s a level of long-term support that still isn’t common at this price point.
The Galaxy M47 is available in Rogue Red and Blaze Blue. Pricing starts at INR 22,999 (roughly $243 / €214) for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model. Open sales begin on July 4 via Amazon India.
