Samsung is reportedly developing Samsung Galaxy M51 and Galaxy M31s smartphones for the Indian market. According to a report, both Galaxy M51 and Galaxy M31s will come with 64-megapixel main camera and the phones are speculated to launch in June. The report also indicates that the launch of M51 may get delayed to July due to production issues, owing to coronavirus pandemic. Samsung is yet to confirm the launch of the aforementioned smartphones, therefore, all the information should be taken with a pinch of salt.

As per a report by 91Mobiles citing industry sources, Samsung Galaxy M51 is tipped to launch in late June in the country. It is also said that production of the phone largely depends on the ongoing coronavirus situation in India, therefore, the launch timing may vary depending on that.
