“We will launch the Galaxy A70 in India next week in the Rs. 25,000 – Rs. 30,000 bracket and the Galaxy A80 in the Rs. 45,000 – Rs. 50,000 bracket in May,” Ranjivjit Singh, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Samsung India, told IANS.

The South Korean tech giant is facing stiff competition from Chinese smartphone makers, especially in the budget and mid-range segment.

Samsung’s increased focus on the Galaxy A-series which offers phones in the Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 50,000 segment, shows that the company is ready to give its Chinese competitors a tough fight in the coming days.

“We are targeting $4 billion from the Galaxy A series over the calendar year. Just in the first 40 days starting March 1, we have sold a total of two million units of three Galaxy ‘A’ models in India –A50, A30, and A10. The revenue turnover from these three phones in 40 days is $500 million. I think this is a record for any brand in the industry,” Singh added.

“When the rest of the portfolio in the Galaxy A-series becomes available we are sure of not only achieving, but exceeding our target,” he said, adding that the Galaxy A-series phones will continue to be available across the channels – both online and offline.

Well, if you were wondering, Galaxy A80 includes button-activated or hands-free Bixby too. Samsung conveniently avoided the declaration of ditching the headphone jack in this phone. As far as endurance is concerned, the phone is fueled by a 3,700mAh with 25W Super Fast Charging support. The phone which sports a 3D Glass plus Metal Frame body would be available in Phantom Black, Angel Gold, Ghost White colors.

Samsung India, which earned revenues of $5.5 billion from its smartphones business in the country in the 2018 financial year, is also launching other cheaper phones — like the ‘M’ series — to take on the Chinese smartphone makers.
