Samsung clearly has the muscle to battle on all mobile fronts, its evident with the 2011 sales where they were the leaders in global smartphone sales. Now the feature phone section is one that has alot of money on it. Its like the open air market where selling small units of supplies makes more money than the wholesale bit. In the feature phone area the main competition is Nokia and the Chinese manufacturers. Nokia has been a leader here, but Samsung is coming hard and fast.
Soon you will see the Samsung Champ Deluxe and Samsung Champ Deluxe Duos to add into the portfolio. These two aim at giving the entry level market a good touch-screen experience with Samsung’s trademark TouchWiz feel on Samsung’s proprietary OS. Main features on the phones are:
