Samsung, Apple Audience into Budget Phone Market

Samsung and Apple are actually rolling away low to mid-priced smartphones with high grade functions to utilize an opening available in the market given that rival Huawei has been shunted taken care of.

Both types will be waterproof.

The A52 will cost around W500,000 and the A71 between W600,000 and W700,000, about 50 % the price of an S series phone (US$1=W1,113).
