The Samsung Galaxy M series is a line of online-exclusive budget smartphones manufactured by Samsung Electronics. The first models in the series, the Samsung Galaxy M10 and M20, were released on February 5, 2019; they were followed by the Samsung Galaxy M30 on March 7 and the Samsung Galaxy M40 on June 18. The Galaxy M10s and M30s were announced on September 18, and both were released on September 29.[1] The Galaxy M01 and M11 were released on June 2 2020 and were available for sale on both online and offline platforms.[2] On September 10, Samsung announced the Galaxy M51, the first upper mid-range model in the lineup.[3]

The Galaxy M series serve as a spiritual successor to the Galaxy Mega phablets. The primary selling point of the lineup is the high-capacity battery and multi-lens camera setup, following the common trend within budget smartphones in 2019. It is positioned below the more streamlined, mid-range Galaxy A series, although the newer, higher-end models were derived from the A series with several alterations.

Description[]

Being positioned at the mid-range and low-end segments, all models in the series have the all essential features of an entry-level smartphone, besides some other advanced features, thus differentiating them from other series and also differ in size and design. The letter M stands for millennial and alludes to the older Galaxy Mega series, which have similar screen sizes. Samsung targets Asian developing markets or the European entry-level market with the lineup as a response to the growing popularity of budget smartphones offered by Chinese manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Huawei and BBK Electronics.

The series replaced the Samsung Galaxy J series as the company's entry-level smartphone lineup.[4]
