Samsung enters the 10K game, woos audiences with two item numbers|Bangalore, February 11 2019: Especially down south, certain actors have larger-than-life fan following. They may not do really classy roles or films with a social message. Their only aim is, in Vidya Balan's famous words, "Entertainment, entertainment and entertainment". They are paisa vasool, they are talk of the town, and they become the flavour of the season. They are known as mass heroes.
The smart phone industry in India is as dramatic and entertaining as the film industry. There are big brands, there are upcoming brands, there are brands that quickly disappear after an appearance or two, and then there are the 'mass' brands. What we witnessed  recently, was the emergence of a new mass hero, from a brand that was into lavish period dramas. Samsung  hitherto an upmarket brand, has released two  affordable  smart phones.
The new  Samsung Galaxy M Series includes the three biggest things young millennials ask for in a smart phone -- an unconventional notch, a good selfie camera and a high-performance battery. The M Series is entirely made in India and has taken feedback from Indians before launching the range. The M 20 has a 6.3 inches FHD+ display, powered by a 5000 mAh battery and an Exynos 7904 octa-core processor. It comes with a 15W charger. With a 13 MP + 5MP rear camera configuration with ultra wide-angle capabilities,  and  an 8 MP selfie camera: the  camera specs  are the stuff  of mid-range phones. With face unlock and fingerprint sensors, the M20 tries to offer everything a young on-the-move professional would want in his/her first smart phone, at a compelling price point.
The M10, on the other hand, comes with a 5 MP selfie camera, a 3400 mAh battery, a 6.2 inches screen, powered by the Exynos 7870 processor. The M 20 is priced at Rs.12,990 (4 GB+64 GB) and Rs. 10,990 (3 GB + 32 GB), while the M 10 is priced at Rs. 8,990 (3GB+32GB) and Rs. 7,990 (2GB+16GB).     VISHNU ANAND
