Samsung came out with their latest M Series smartphones as the answer to all the Chinese phones that were in the market catering to the budgeted customers.
Xiomi, OPPO, Huwaei, etc were in the Low & Mid Range market and were doing particularly good in that segment. India is a huge market for this segment and these companies were out-selling Samsung.
Seeing the market trend, Samsung has come up with amazing specifications and the all new Infinity-V display.
Series M starts from Rs.7990/- to 17990/-. Now this is what I call super competitive rates.
Below are the specification mentioned for each of the M series models :
