Just recently the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy A series which has the Samsung Galaxy A3 and Samsung Galaxy A5 editions was released and as they had described the smartphones, they have a metallic back. This series was delayed for sometime and was actually released behind schedule. This is due to the slow production of the metallic bodies which has made the rolling out of the models into the market take some time.
About half of the metallic bodies failed the quality test meaning that they had to be taken back for remodeling. There are some reports that due to the production constraints the models may only hit a few selected markets where their uptake will be fast and meet the expectations. Among them in Asia is China which is known for its large market uptake as well as technological knowhow.
To date the phones have only been listed in their Chinese website and is available in both the single and dual nanosim versions. In the Chinese website there is no online purchase platform. What Samsung has done is to direct the potential buyers to the shops that have them in stock. This is a clear sign that the production is still lagging behind schedule and that the handsets are still few in number. Samsung which is known for its high-end hi tech smartphones, has not disappointed at all.
The Samsung Galaxy A5 model goes for about CYN 2599 which can translate to about $410. There is not much difference between the specifications of the single and dual versions. The Samsung Galaxy A3 model is yet to be listed in the website. Unconfirmed reports had stated that the A7 model would be released almost immediately after the launch of the A3 and A5 versions but no official information from Samsung has confirmed this. Plus with the slow production it may take a bit more time before the Samsung Galaxy A7 hits the market.
Samsung has been keen on expanding its market share in the Smartphone market worldwide and move a step ahead of its competitors. This is being achieved by the launch of new models with specific target markets which means that the uptake will be great for the specific market. This has already been seen in India as earlier in the month of November 2014, Samsung released its Samsung Z version which was a first time for such a launch in India for that matter. Samsung is intending to gain maximum dominance especially the South Asian market as well as the entire Asian market .
