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 markets or the European entry-level market with the lineup.

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