Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy M62 (8GB + 256GB variant) is a mid-range smartphone known for its massive 7,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging, ensuring exceptional longevity, and a large 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED Plus display for vibrant visuals. It is powered by the capable, older flagship Exynos 9825 (7nm) processor and features a versatile 64MP quad-camera system, delivering strong performance and good photography in daylight. A key pro is the generous 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage (expandable via microSDXC), which offers smooth multitasking and ample space. Primary cons include the display's standard 60Hz refresh rate (lacking the smoother high refresh rate found on some competitors), a plastic build that attracts fingerprints, and no 5G connectivity support.
