Dual-Core Samsung Galaxy S Advance, Targeted At Budget Audience?

The Galaxy series from Samsung continues to grow as the manufacturer added Galaxy S Advance to the series, which may be targeted at budget phone users. The phone clearly seems to be a step-down, in terms of specifications, from other Galaxy phones. Samsung has used the same design and style to keep the Galaxy look of the phone alive.
