Samsung has revealed two new devices in China namely the Galaxy A6s and Galaxy A9s.
The Galaxy A6s sports a different design ethos compared to other A-series devices with a smaller fingerprint scanner, dual rear cameras, and an array of youthful colors. This is also Samsung’s first smartphone that’s not entirely manufactured in their factories, enlisting instead the aid of an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) to produce it.
