There's type-C fast-charging with a 15W in-box charger. It is powered by Samsung's latest Exynos 7904 octa-core processor. Both the Galaxy M20 and M10 sport dual rear cameras with an ultra-wide lens as we saw on the LG's flagship smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy M10 and M20: Competitors in India
The Galaxy M10 goes against the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 6 and Asus Zenfone Max M1 in the sub-continent. The phone offers Infinity-V display which we haven't seen in this price range before, however, the base variant packs just 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage which will be a huge letdown as the Redmi 6 comes in a 3GB+32GB and 3GB+64GB variants.
The Galaxy M20, on the other hands, takes on the mighty Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro smartphones. It offers a whopping 5000mAh battery, but that's not enough to save it from the superior Snapdragon 660 SoC on the Max Pro M2.
