Samsung is one of the few smartphone makers that offers long term software support for most of its smartphones, be it a budget, mid-range or premium device. If you are looking to buy a Samsung phone under Rs 50,000, here are some of the best options across different price segments.
Launched earlier this year, the Galaxy F06 is Samsung’s first 5G phone under Rs 10,000. Featuring the Dimensity 6300 chipset, which also powers the more expensive Galaxy M16. The device comes with One UI 7 based on Android 15 out of the box with the company promising 4 years of OS and security updates.
The back of the phone features a new elliptical shaped camera island that houses a 50MP primary lens alongside a 2MP macro/depth shooter. It comes with 128GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card. The base version of the Galaxy M56 with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs 9,199, but we recommend spending a bit more and going with the 6GB RAM version, which costs Rs 10,699.

Galaxy M35
Launched last year, the Galaxy M35 is an year old phone that offers great value for money and long software support. Sporting a 6.6-inch 120Hz FullHD+ sAMOLED screen, the phone is powered by the Exynos 1380 chipset, which made its debut on the Galaxy A36 (review)
The phone runs on One UI 6.1 based on Android 14 out of the box, with Samsung offering 4 years of OS updates and security patches.
Available in 128GB and 256GB storage variants, the device comes with up to 8GB of RAM and a microSD card slot for storage expansion. You also get a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro sensor, with the main camera capturing good quality photos.
It is backed by a 6,000mAh battery with 25W wired charging support and has a side mounted fingerprint sensor. The only downside is that the phone is a bit on the heavier side, weighing 222 grams without a cover. It starts from Rs 14,397.

Galaxy M56
The newly launched Galaxy M36 is a good mid-range phone that may last you for years to come. Featuring the Exynos 1480 chipset, the phone has a huge 120Hz 6.74-inch AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection on both the front and back.
Weighing just 182 grams, the Galaxy M36 also happens to be the thinnest phone in its price segment, measuring just 7.2mm in width. However, it looks like Samsung had to use 5,000mAh battery instead of a 6,000mAh one to reduce the thickness. It runs on One UI 7 based on Android 15 out of the box and is set to get 6 years of Android updates and security patches.
The back of the phone sports the new elliptical camera island like the Galaxy F06, but instead of two, you get three cameras with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide shooter and a 2MP macro lens. The Galaxy M56 starts from Rs 24,999 and will be available on Amazon April 23 onwards.

Powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset, the Galaxy A56 has a bright 120Hz 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with FullHD+ resolution. The device comes with One UI 7 based on Android 15 with Samsung promising 6 years of OS updates and security patches.
You also get most of the Galaxy AI features except a few S series exclusive ones. And while the Galaxy A56 has a triple camera setup with a 50MP primary lens and an 8MP ultrawide sensor, it misses out on telephoto lens in favour of a 5MP macro shooter.
All of this is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging support. If you don’t mind the lack of a telephoto lens and are looking for a mid-range phone that will last you years to come, this may be a good choice. It starts from Rs 38,999.
