Samsung is finally ready to relaunch its ambitious Galaxy Fold, nearly five months after catastrophic problems encountered by early reviewers forced the company to cancel the launch of its most ambitious smartphone ever. Thanks to fundamental design flaws and the sheer amount of hype surrounding the Galaxy Fold's introduction, the company has had to deal with some very high-profile embarrassment.

We began this year with an avalanche of affordable Galaxy M-series and A-series smartphones from Samsung as part of the company's strategy to fight Xiaomi, Realme, and others on their terms. Samsung addressed pretty much every strategic price point between Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 20,000 in a very short span of time, sometimes with multiple options thanks to the sheer number of models and variants that were launched. It's been a while now since that rush of launches, and Samsung's competitors have all refreshed their slates, so…

Samsung appears to have picked up a few tricks from its Chinese competitors.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, or Fan Edition, is a more affordable version of the current flagship Galaxy S20 series, but promises all the features and power that fans care about. With prices rising and flagship phones becoming more and more expensive with each generation, there's an underserved mid-segment that's typically left to be filled by previous-generation flagship models. However, buyers do like having all the latest features and design touches, so the Galaxy S20 FE, launched in India at Rs. 49,999, certainly could…

Samsung spins the new Galaxy S20 FE, or “Fan Edition”, as a model that offers all the features that fans care most about in a more affordable package. As the prices of flagship phones have skyrocketed to well over Rs. 1,00,000 over the past few years, the “flagship killer” segment at around Rs. 40,000 to 50,000 has become more and more important. Rather than let competitors such as OnePlus and Xiaomi eat its lunch, the Korean giant has decided to fight back with a watered-down version of the Galaxy S20.Samsung has dabbled…
