Samsung's first 5G smartphone under $300 could be a game changer
CNN
When people think of Samsung smartphones, it's normally Galaxy S devices, Notes and foldables. Now, the unsung heroes of the portfolio are getting a chance to shine.
The company announced Wednesday that it's doubling down on its mid-range Galaxy A Series smartphone line in the United States — an effort that includes its first 5G device under $300. Samsung's Galaxy and Note flagship smartphones have long overshadowed its A Series devices. But amid the economic uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, the more price-friendly line made up 70% of the company's total smartphone shipments — and 60% in the United States — in 2020, according to data from IDC Research.More Related News
