Galaxy M Series Upgraded as Competitive Thrust in Mid-Range

February 23, 2020
 
After years of cheapening its budget phones with sub-standard specifications
 and an absence of basic sensors, Samsung upgraded the Galaxy A series with better specifications to make them more competitive in the upper mid-range segments of the smartphone market. It took the fight to Xiaomi and Realme by releasing the online-only Galaxy M series in the lower mid-range segment. The Galaxy M30, Galaxy M20, and Galaxy M10 were launched in early 2019. While the phones couldn’t beat Xiaomi and Realme’s competitors in every respect, they were at least in the same league. In September, the company upgraded the Galaxy M30 by launching the Galaxy M30s, its highlight features being its massive 6,000mAh battery and a 48MP primary camera. Despite the improvement in specifications, Samsung’s market share has continued to decrease in India as it dropped into the # 3 position having been passed by vivo.  The company launched the Galaxy A51 in February, a phone that was a mild refresh of its predecessor, the Galaxy A50s and will soon announce the Samsung Galaxy M31, which will be the successor of the Galaxy M30s. A teaser reveals the phone’s name and proclaims a 64MP camera with the tagline “Mega Monster”. The “mega monster” tagline suggests that it will probably have the same 6,000mAh battery capacity as its predecessor—beating all of its competitors in this respect. The 64MP primary camera is expected to use Samsung’s own 64MP ISOCELL GW1 sensor.
 
Samsung announced it is launching the new Galaxy M31 in India on 25th February, according to product promotional pages on Amazon.in. The Galaxy M31 will contain a 6,000 mAh battery as well as the 64MP Quad Camera setup that focuses on scene optimization, macro mode, and night mode according to the details on the promotional page. The phone will also come with an FHD+ sAMOLED Infinity-U display with thin bezels. Samsung is also sticking with a conventional fingerprint scanner which can be spotted on the back of the device. Other specifications and differences from its predecessors have not been mentioned, so we’ll have to wait for the phone to be launched to find out more.
