What the hell is a "Galaxy F70"? How did I miss out on F1-69? As far as their phones are concerned, I only know of their Galaxy S series (flagship), A series (budget), and Z series (foldable).

According to Wikipedia, the F series occupies the same low/ mid tier that the A series does, but is sold exclusively in India

That explains why I've never heard of it. Makes me wonder what makes India so special that they need their own version of the A series...maybe because they love dual SIM so much? IDK, I'll just look it up myself.

Looks like it's even weirder/more confusing. The F series isn't actually the A series but rebranded.

The F series is actually a "rebrand" of the M series. It's sold at a retailer called "Flipkart". What the fuck is the M series then? No fucking clue. It's supposedly different than the A series line. From skimming online, it seems like the M series for some reason have larger batteries, but are also cheaper(?), but randomly not supported as long as the A series.

So I think the M series is maybe like a shittier A series. And then the F series is literally identical to the M series except it's sold by a retailer that starts with F.

Man, shit is stupidly convoluted.
