Launch and Availability
The M-Series smartphones of Samsung – M10 & M20 will be launched in Indian market on Feb 5,2018. Shortly thereafter, it could make its way to Nepali market in the next month of February.
Both the smartphones -Galaxy M10 and Galaxy 20 take on the likes of Xiaomi, Vivo, Honor and other Chinese smartphones. The aggressive pricing by Samsung could be a big reason for Xiaomi to worry whose key USP has always been low-end pricing. With the Galaxy M10 and M20 launch, Samsung will be the only big smartphone brand to compete in the budget segment which is, otherwise, ruled by Chinese players.
The pricing of Samsung M-Series smartphones will vary slightly in the domestic market as compared to Indian price with a 10-20% difference, as has been the trend in it’s pricing of entry level and mid-range handsets. The company whereas sets uniform pricing in both markets on handsets above 50K range.
If priced right, Samsung’s M-Series will definitely regain the market share that it once lost to Chinese makers like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and Huawei in the domestic market.
