Samsung Android Phones

South Korean tech giant Samsung today launched a new smartphone—Galaxy J3 -- priced at Rs 8,990, designed specifically for bike riders in India. Interestingly, 70 per cent of Samsung India's consumers are two-wheeler users. The handset features a 'S Bike mode' that has been developed by the India team. Once activated, callers are notified using an automated answering machine that the user is riding and cannot take the call. The caller can choose to press 1 to express urgency to speak to the biker. The rider will have to come to a complete halt to answer the call, thereby ensuring his safety. "We are working on bringing in meaningful innovations that make people's lives better. While studying the consumers' phone usage behaviour, we realised that incoming calls are a major distraction to bikers. "About 70 per cent of our users in India are two-wheeler users...This feature is our effort to promote responsible riding," Samsung India Senior

Early indications of stronger-than-expected sales of new Galaxy S7 smartphones suggest technology giant Samsung Electronics is emerging from a two-year decline at its flagship mobile business. Squeezed by Apple Inc in premium products and undercut by Chinese rivals like Huawei in cheaper devices, Samsung's smartphone profits and global market share have fallen, sapping momentum at South Korea's most valuable company. But several brokerages on Wednesday upgraded first-quarter forecasts for what is still the world's top smartphone maker, citing a strong start for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge premium phones that were launched earlier this month. Samsung likely shipped 9.5 million S7 phones in the first quarter, significantly more than the initial estimate of 7 million, Jay Yoo, industry analyst at Korea Investment & Securities, wrote in a report. "It looks like the sell-in numbers have been pretty good and analysts are raising their sales forecasts for th
