Samsung is currently leading in the Rs 20,000-Rs 45,000 segment in India with over 25 per cent value market share.
"We want to consolidate our market leadership in this segment to 40 per cent in H1 with the help of five new A series devices that we are launching today," Pullan told IANS.
Three of the five new Galaxy A series smartphones are 5G-ready devices.
"We have been strengthening our 5G line-up to keep our consumers future proof. We are also the biggest 5G player in the country since the last quarter," Pullan added.
Samsung today has the largest portfolio of 5G phones in India.
