Samsung has launched a special edition of their popular Galaxy F15 5G smartphone, exclusively for Airtel users. This new variant called the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition, comes with a discounted price and a bonus of 50GB of free data, making it an attractive option for those looking for a budget-friendly 5G phone with a reliable network connection.
Samsung Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition Specifications:
-
Discounted Price: Compared to the regular Galaxy F15 5G, the Airtel Edition offers a discount of ₹750 (Indian Rupees). This brings the starting price down to ₹12,249 for the base model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Higher RAM options (6GB and 8GB) are also available at proportionally discounted prices.
-
50GB Free Data: The biggest perk of the Airtel Edition is the 50GB of free data that comes bundled with the phone. This bonus data can be claimed through the Airtel Thanks app after recharging your phone with a minimum of ₹199.
-
Important Note: There’s a catch to the free data offer. The Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition comes pre-locked to the Airtel network for 18 months. This means you will need to use an Airtel SIM card in one of the phone’s two SIM slots during this period. After 18 months, the phone will be automatically unlocked and can be used with any network provider.
-
Specifications: Aside from the network lock and bundled data offer, the specifications of the Samsung F15 5G Airtel Edition are identical to the regular model. It features a 6.6-inch Full HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for a more responsive user experience.
-
Performance: Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor, which is capable of handling everyday tasks and even some light gaming. It comes with different RAM options (4GB, 6GB, and 8GB) to suit your needs for multitasking and app usage. Storage options remain at 128GB for all variants.
-
Cameras: The camera department of the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition is decent for its price range. It boasts a triple-camera system on the back, with a main sensor likely to be 48-megapixel (official specs haven’t been confirmed yet). Additional rear cameras are expected to be an ultrawide sensor for capturing wider shots and a macro sensor for close-up photography. The front-facing camera is likely to be 16-megapixels for capturing selfies and video calls.
-
Battery and Charging: The phone packs a decent 5,100mAh battery, which should offer good battery life for most users. It also supports 67W fast charging, allowing you to quickly top up the battery when needed.
-
Other Features: The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition comes with a variety of user-friendly features, including Dolby Atmos sound for an immersive audio experience, a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headphone users, an in-display fingerprint sensor for secure unlocking, and an infrared sensor for controlling compatible appliances.
Is the Airtel Edition Right for You?
The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition will come with Airtel’s lock in place for 18 months, and users will need to spend at least Rs 199 or more to unlock it. Initially, the device will remain unlocked for the initial 24 hours, providing an opportunity for users to add an Airtel Prepaid SIM with a recharge over Rs 199 to the device. Should the buyer fail to insert a valid Airtel Prepaid SIM into the Galaxy F15 5G, the device will automatically lock.
You also have the option to discontinue the 18-month program from the Airtel Guard App on your device by incurring specific administrative fees, which will be shown on the app. Please be aware that to avoid having your device locked, you must replenish your current Airtel prepaid plan within 15 days after the subscription period ends.
Where to Buy: The Galaxy F15 5G Airtel Edition is currently available for purchase online through Flipkart. You may also be able to find it at select Samsung-authorized retailers in India.
