Samsung is still the top ranked handset manufacturer, but it's losing market share to the so-called "emerging" Chinese markers. In fact, Samsung is even losing market share to cheaper phones, which are priced as low as Rs. 4,000. This has trigged speculation that Samsung may be eyeing to change its tried and tested strategy.

Thus, today the company has launched three budget Android-based smartphones onto Indian market. The Samsung Galaxy Star 2, Galaxy Star Advance and Galaxy Ace NXT are now officially available in India.
