Are you kidding me? Samsung please define what but improved Specs mean?
#FAIL again

If fame is priced anything more than 10k its a no no go

Sounds like the two good for nothing, spoiled, pampered siblings of the Galaxy family.

 

[theserpent]

^^ True
Why not skip NFC and provide 1 gb ram? and a better resolution? atleast we could have some good budget phones

Instead galaxy young with a 3.2" has 768 ram god knows what Samsung is doing out there

 

[RCuber]

you call that midrange?

 

[theserpent]

Samsung just wants to release phones..they don't think about the specs- samsung is the new HTC in this budget segment

 

[Siddhartha_t69]

Why so many galaxies? Why Sam Why?

 

[reniarahim1]

they are pushing as much as phones into the market with similar looks and specs but with different names.
where is the innovation sammy

 

[Nerevarine]

I hate to say this but Micromax with it's low budget smartphones is actually pwning samsung at every move..
WHY Y U NO CREATE BETTER LOW TIER PHONES SAMMY :/

 

[furious_gamer]

Another epic Fail from Samsung. They don't have any idea about what they are doing. 768MB RAM + 3.2" and 512MB RAM+3.5" seems to me like someone in Sammy didn't sleep for a long time.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Samsung could do with larger screens and more appropriate RAM sizes, but please stop comparing it with Micromax. Its phones typically emit significantly more radiation compared to their samsung peers (this is true in a majority of their phones) and I'd definitely not mind paying an additional 3k-4k and reduce the risk of brain tumor. The same is true for other new companies as well, most of their phones have SAR ratings well over 1.6.

 

[gameranand]

Their Galaxy line up is so much confusing that its like finding a needle in a heap. SO many Galaxy product, don't they know any other name at all.

 

[giprabu]

Yet again the same crappy resolution like other low-end galaxy phones... any ppi less than 180 for mobiles is useless...

 

[Sudh4r]

Back to Square One with their mediocre specs and DESIGN .

Seems like they are working hard on SGS4, forgot about the rest

 

[furious_gamer]

They forgot all other except their flagship mobile variants.

 

[RON28]

these two mobiles are easily gonna get defeated by micromax, karbonn, celkon, videocon, spice.

 

[furious_gamer]

IMO, Sony, LG even give some reasonable option under 10k, like their Optimus One and now Sony is going to pile up some models for this budget.

Shame that Sammy is not even thinking about this segment, which is huge segment IMO

 

[ajaymailed]

what we are seeing is the mid to low range phones getting downgraded with Cortex A5 CPUs instead of Cortex A9 Core with previous generation smartphones. Galaxy Grand, Galaxy S Duos, Ace Plus, Xperia J, Desire V, VC, Optimus L7. not so impressive Soc. Samsung doesn't seem to show any interest with updating their low-mid range line up. Galaxy S Advance is good but No good successor for Galaxy Ace. probably Samsung simply lost the interest in low to mid range phones because of huge competition and thinning margins.

except for few disadvantages, Sonys Dual Core Line up Xperia U, Sola,P still stands tall in mid-range with Optimus L9 giving a good fight.

 

[theserpent]

^ Well you see...samsung knows that whatever they release be it a phone with a ancient processor, "most" of the people will buy it, what people see is the screen size and the brand and wether its dual core or not..They don't go more further than that and see whether its a Cortex A5,A7 or A9 etc etc.
LG needs to advertise a lot more, even TECH SITES have to feature LG phones that's the only way LG can survive Among the Un-Informed Public

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ One of the reason i wrote review about L9, after using it for a week.

 

[theserpent]

LG is going to release some more budget phones next week, I don't the LG phone design though

Optimus L3 II: 3.2-inch 320x240 IPS display and 1,540mAh battery
Optimus L5 II: 4-inch 800x480 IPS display and 1,700mAh battery
Optimus L7 II: 4.3-inch 800x480 IPS display, 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8225 processor, 8-megapixel rear and VGA front cameras, 4GB storage, microSD slot, 768MB RAM, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and 2,460mAh battery

Not bad...wish the ram was more
