Seems attractive for buyers to buy, but not easy to capture the low end market with these phones because of the tough competition it is facing.

Its again the same design and touch interface, so people might think once before they plan to buy. But chances are more to buy these phones because trusting Samsung for mid range mobiles is far better than buy cheap unknown market phones. MotoG is there for competition but as it has problems Samsung might stand a chance with these 3 mid range phones.

I don't know how Samsung has the guts to do it.. but all their phones look the same... They've been looking same so long.. that now they are pretty boring... Their UI is gr8.. but is heavy and sucks after long usage. They have stiff competition from Chinese in budget phones and from Apple, HTC, Sony, LG in high end phones...After success of galaxy S3 and Note..they seem to have lost it... I expect much better from Samsung..

Its good to see Phones coming often but not too impressive .
Still they ride with <3MP camera phones with 512MB RAM which is not appreciatable .
Only positive :Latest kitkat OS and flash.

Soon the cycle will repeat and Samsung May loose its mid range mobile market to newcomers.

The problem comes not with the OS. The issue is with the compatibility issues. When S3 is not able to cope up with the Android 4.2.2, how can these normal mid range phones cope up with?

Its always about the specifications and the OS. This is where apple grabs the market. There specifications are never low they cannot cope with their new OS. But if they release new OS version they can still work well but can the andriod mid range and low range phones work (some times even the high end phones) can work? This is the main reason where we people miss the main concept of correlation of OS and hardware.

There are atleast 100 smartphones in market that are below 15 K; nothing new in this phone.

In the current smart phone arena, until you are presenting something mesmerizing (like Xiomi or OnePlus) no one is bothered even if you have big name like Samsung.

If you use your galaxy Mobile Phones often and utilize its advanced innovations, most users will observe that they need to recharge it every day, while more prudent users will observe their galaxy phone holding a charge for many days. Having different mobile phone chargers for various situations will be very convenient since you may be able to charge your phones in unusual situations. Regular galaxy phones are simply provided with one mains charger and generally this is not adequate. There are a plethora of chargers for galaxy mobile phones like a wind up charger, USB charger, in-car charger and a substitute mains charger. To help you resolve which kind of phone charger you want we have put together this simplified purchaser's guide.
