There are plenty of entry-level smartphones to choose from. These devices sport large displays, better cameras and they promise to deliver good performance. Lesser-known brands even claim to offer premium features such as high-resolution cameras, vibrant screens at affordable prices. However, reliability and quality can be questionable. That’s where Samsung stands apart.
Samsung makes premium, quality smartphones. The newly launched Samsung M11 is one such offering, that balances the build quality, performance, and features. It is the successor to last year’s Samsung M10s. The new phone comes with a faster processor, more RAM and larger capacity battery.

The phone is made of plastic, but it promises sturdiness. Samsung’s Infinity design has made the M11 significantly slimmer. The phone is slightly heavier than its predecessor, but you can barely notice it in everyday usage. The device is available in Matte Black, Metallic Blue, and Violet colors. The M11 has a fingerprint scanner at the rear, that lets you unlock the phone, purchase apps, and make payments. The phone also features Samsung’s AI face detection, to unlock the device.

The phone offers a better screen-to-body ratio than most entry-level smartphones, so it a good choice for content bingers.
The M11 is a good choice for less tech-savvy people looking for an easy-to-use device. It is powered by the latest Android 10 OS and it runs Samsung’s One UI 2. The One UI 2 offers a simplistic design. Samsung says, the new UI is streamlined to offer customised colour preferences and make the UI cleaner. They have also included tons of themes, fonts, and transitions effects that let users customise the interface to their liking.
The Samsung M11 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor. It is designed to offer a strong performance in entry-level smartphones. This means, apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Gmail should load in no time. The phone sports the Adreno 506 GPU. Samsung claims, the new GPU offers 25 per cent faster graphic rendition than the older M10s model. It can run casual games such as Ludo King, Subway Surfers, and Doodle Jump without any issues. In fact, the phone should also easily handle PUBG: Mobile Lite at high graphic settings.
The Samsung M10s is available in two configurations. The entry-spec variant comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The higher-spec variant sports 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Both models support microSD cards that let you expand the storage up to 512GB.
