Notes: 4G-only phone (Helio G99+ per coverage).

Price Rs 18,499 for 4GB/64GB (MRP Rs 26,999); only one variant seen in coverage. Pre-launch tip said Rs 18,999 and 8 mm/197 g, unconfirmed so weight left null. Display type conflicts (PLS LCD vs AMOLED claim); LCD used. Galaxy M08 and F08 listed alongside as coming soon, not covered. Chip: most Indian outlets say Helio G99+, press coverage and a few others say G99; G99+ is used.
