Samsung announced four new devices — the Galaxy J6, J8, A6, and A6+ — at an event in Mumbai, India today. The J series duo is intended for the lower-midrange market while the A series is intended for the higher midrange.
The Infinity Display is their one common feature, meaning they have smaller bezels and chins just like Samsung’s flagship, the S9. The physical home and back keys are gone while the fingerprint scanner has been shifted to the back. All of them also feature a soft LED flash on the front, as well as Samsung Mall and other Samsung-exclusive apps.
