Frequently asked
Does the Galaxy M06 5G have NFC?
No. The M06 5G omits NFC, so it cannot be used for tap-to-pay services like Google Wallet.
How many software updates will the Galaxy M06 5G get?
Samsung commits to 4 generations of OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates, running to roughly March 2029.
When will the Galaxy M07 stop getting updates?
Samsung has committed to six generations of OS upgrades and six years of security patches from the phone's late-2025 launch, with support listed into 2031. That is remarkable for a phone that costs under ₹8,000. It ships on Android 15 with One UI 7.
Is the Galaxy M07 worth buying in 2026?
As a first phone, a backup, or a device for a child or an elderly relative, it is excellent value: six years of security on a sub-$100 phone is barely more than a dollar a month of safe use. Just go in knowing the screen is only 720p and there is no 5G or NFC. Anyone who wants 5G should stretch to the A07 5G.
