That’s according to a new report from South Korean publicationET News, which further claims that the company will expand theGalaxy A lineupto cover some of those lower price points vacated by the discontinuedGalaxy J series.
According to industry sources quoted by the publication,“The J-series is being integrated into the A-series”as the company continues revamping its product strategy at the mid-range to get back some of its lost market-share in the emerging economies.
