The mid-range smartphone category in India is going through a growth phase. This segment in the country covers the phones selling in the range of ₹20,000-₹45,000. Therefore, earlier this week, Samsung announced its plans to conquer almost half of the mid-range smartphone market in the region.

A few days back, Samsung took wraps off five new Galaxy A series models for India. At the launch event in Bengaluru, Aditya Babbar, Senior Director and Marketing Head for Samsung India, revealed to the Deccan Herald (via SamMobile) that the South Korean electronics is hoping to capture 40% of the mid-range smartphone segment (₹20,000-₹45,000) in the country with the help of its new handsets.

According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung’s market share in India’s mid-range smartphone category stood at 28% in 2021. The company registered a growth of 87% YoY in this segment.

Since India is a price-sensitive market, brands have been pushing various financing options to attract consumers. Samsung introduced its own lending platform dubbed ‘Samsung Finance Plus’ three years ago. It is currently available in over 50,000 stores across India. Babbar disclosed that over 50% of this platform’s users are new to credit as they have never availed loans in their life.

The average selling price of smartphones in India increased in 2021 due to supply issues. At the same time, mid-range phones now offer more as well as diversified features targeting multiple audiences. This has resulted in the growth trajectory for the mid-range smartphone category in the region, and hence, every OEM wants a pie of it.

Top Leaks and Rumors from Last Week

Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro to sport vivo-like design

We finally got to see the design of the upcoming Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro last week. Unfortunately, the new-gen Redmi K series phones will drop their unique design language in favor of a rear design inspired by vivo. This design was first introduced by the Xiaomi group on Xiaomi CIVI.

Thanks to TENAA, we also know the maximum available memory configuration of Redmi’s flagship smartphone lineup. The Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the Redmi K50 Pro+ will max at 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB respectively.

POCO F4 GT specs leak confirm Redmi K50G rebrand

The key specs of the yet-to-release POCO F4 GT leaked last week. According to them, the device will be indeed a rebadged Redmi K50G, which is also known as Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.

This is not surprising as the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition debuted as POCO F4 GT in global markets. Most importantly, the Redmi K50G was already spotted at certification websites as Redmi K50G.

There may not be a Xiaomi 12 Lite but new CIVI series phones instead

Earlier last week, a report revealed that Xiaomi 12 Lite will be a fusion of Xioami CIVI and Xiaomi 12. A day later, another report disclosed that Xiaomi CIVI Pro may launch soon with slightly better specs than the original Xiaomi CIVI. This device was originally supposed to release as Xiaomi 12 Lite Zoom.

A few days from that, a Xiaomi exec confirmed that there will be no Xioami 12 Lite in 2022. This means the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite could release as a Xiaomi CIVI series phone in China alongside the so-called Xiaomi CIVI Pro. But we cannot rule out the possibility of it launching under Xiaomi 12 Lite branding in international markets.

vivo may release a ‘Note’

The long-rumored vivo NEX 5 is now expected to go official as vivo X Note. A leak from last week not only disclosed the phone’s name but also some of its specs.

The device is said to arrive with a 7-inch QHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN1 primary camera, 48MP Sony IMX598 secondary camera, 12MP Sony IMX663 tertiary camera, and 8MP OmniVision OV08A10 quaternary camera with 5x optical zoom lens, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

The key features of the forthcoming Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galax A33 5G, and Galaxy A23 5G emerged last week. The details about their display, chipset, camera, battery, and charging leaked.

All four will sport an FHD+ high refresh rate display and a quad-camera system. Most of them will have a 5,000mAh battery and a couple of them will have 25W fast charging support, while the remaining two will be limited to 15W charging.

Interestingly, only one of them will feature a Qualcomm chipset. Whereas, two models will come with MediaTek SoCs and the remaining one will house an Exynos chip.

Cheapest 5G iPhone ever to release in a few days

According to a report from last week, the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 2022 is rumored to start at only $300. It will be $100 cheaper than its predecessor iPhone SE 2020.

Despite being more affordable, the latest model is expected to arrive with 5G connectivity, a new chipset, and better battery life. If this happens to be true, then It will release as the cheapest 5G iPhone to date.
