Samsung already has the hugest range of smartphones in low, mid and high end handsets in its profile.

The new REX series smartphones are new addition to company’s profile that have been designed to target the new rising young consumers in Asian markets who want to own a feature rich smartphone that keeps them connected at a low price.
The REX series device was announced by Samsung India and currently comprises of 4 phones, namely Samsung REX 90, Rex 80, REX 70 and REX 60. All these phones are quite value for money offering and comes with a screen size between 2.8 inch to 3.5 inch and include both single SIM and Dual SIM options. With this series of handsets, Samsung has also started a new trend for low budget phones, and that is high quality display and smart looking form factor.
