Samsung says that it has developed this product targeting the young millennial consumers.

According to the leaks, Samsung would be launching three new smartphones in this category namely M10, M20 and M30. The smartphone would have more powerful features in lowered price brackets. “powerful display, powerful camera, powerful battery and a powerful processor helping the smartphones deliver power-packed performance.” Leaks have it that these smartphones would cost between $150 to $200 and might have Samsung’s Infinity V Display and Exynos chipsets. One of the smartphones might even get a huge battery of up to 5,000 mAh.
