Description

Being positioned at the mid-range and low-end segments, all models in the series have the essential features of a smartphone, and differ in size and design. The letter M stands for millennial and alludes to the older Galaxy Mega series, which have similar screen sizes. However, new features are left out or other materials are used, with Samsung targeting Asian markets or the European entry-level market. The models are updated at least annually; minor updates or variants are displayed with name additions.

In September 2018, there were rumors that Samsung would reorganize their smartphone lineup by discontinuing the Galaxy J series along with the online-exclusive Galaxy On in favor of extending the mid-range Galaxy A series to lower-end segment and introducing the Galaxy M series as the new online-exclusive series of smartphones[2] to better compete against Chinese smartphone brands, such as Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Samsung later introduced the Galaxy M10 and M20 in January 2019.[3]
