4G Devices Now More Affordable for Indians
A new breed of smartphones equipped with the latest 4G technology promises to push internet accessibility to an unprecedented level, and that too at an affordable four-figure price, especially for India. In its bid to accelerate India's smartphone revolution, global giant Samsung Electronics has launched four smartphones - Galaxy A7, one of the slimmest phones at 6.3 mm width, Galaxy Grand Prime 4G, Galaxy Core Prime 4G and Samsung J1 4G.
The company says the new phones are the best in their class, and will make the 4G experience "more affordable and accessible" for Indian consumers. "The new best in class smartphones are designed to help Indian consumers unlock the true potential of 4G and make the experience more affordable and accessible," a Samsung official told IANS here.
With this latest launch, Samsung now has nine 4G devices in the market that offer faster download speed of up to 150 MBPS. "India is at the cusp of its digital revolution journey and we expect 4G technology to rise and push internet usage to an unprecedented level," said Asim Warsi, vice president for marketing, mobile and IT at Samsung India.
