Samsung To Stop Galaxy J, On, C And Move Users To Mid-end Segment

Samsung will stop some mid-end series namely Galaxy J, Galaxy On, and Galaxy C. It has changed its strategy to move people to the mid-end segment like the M series.

Sammobile reported that in the upcoming time, Samsung is going to launch two new phones within the M series. As in the report, the M series will be released as a  consolidation of all the existing budget lineups from Samsung.

Now, some other series, namely Galaxy C, Galaxy On, and Galaxy J, will be stopped.

The two upcoming handsets models are SM-M305F and SM-M205F. The former phone will come with two options for storage, 64GB, and 32GB. The latter one will feature 128GB and 64GB versions of storage.

For now, there hasn’t been any information about the launch date yet.

In a September interview, DJ Koh, mobile chief of Samsung, told CNBC that he used to think of giving new technology and updates to the flagship models, then to the mid-end ones. But from this year, he has changed his mind and will bring the advancement starting right from the mid-end.

The smartphone giant said new features will not appear initially in its flagship so that more people will turn to the middle segment.

So in the future, it is likely that we will see the new advanced technology in middle segment smartphones, probably the M series, rather than the high-end series like the Galaxy S or the Galaxy Note. Samsung mobile chief also noted that one of the handsets will launch later 2018.

It is expected that Samsung will release the Galaxy A9, its first smartphone with squad-camera in India. The firm hasn’t announced the releasing date for the device, but it appears on its official India website so we can look forward to its launch soon. People guess that the phone’s price will be under Rs 40,000. Also, this upcoming handset is likely to compete with the OnePlus 6T, which was recently released by OnePlus.
