Samsung recently launched a microsite for its upcoming Samsung Galaxy M Series smartphones. The M series by Samsung would launch with three smartphones, namely, M10, M20, and M30. The M30 would feature the best specs among the group whereas the M10 would be a distinctly budget smartphone with entry-level specs. The M20 would offer the best of both worlds in terms of price and performance.
According to reports, the primary goal of introducing the M series by Samsung is to counter the influx of cheap Chinese smartphones in the market. Previously, Samsung had their J series which was a budget oriented line of smartphones, however, the greater spec offering and cheaper price of Chinese brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, and Huawei overshadowed Samsung’s presence in the budget smartphone market.
