Introduction and Specs
Samsung just updated its mid-range models, and there is a bit to pass. It is always fun to see the company’s latest and great flagship devices, but the fact is that most users do not need such high-final equipment. The number of sales reflects this nicely. While the argument is less exciting, the Galaxy A-Series is the one that makes the volume of profits and really rack for Samsung. Therefore, every new crop of devices is important.
