The new Samsung Galaxy M20 is powered by 1.6GHz octa-core (2×1.8GHz + 6×1.6GHz) processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. Users will get 32GB of internal storage which suppers external SD card up to 512GB.

Talking about camera department, Samsung Galaxy M2 is having 13-megapixel (f/1.9) primary camera and a 5-megapixel (f/2.2) secondary camera on the rear and an 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies.
