Giving a peek into the phone features — priced at ₹36,900 at a media briefing on Wednesday, he said that India had crossed United States in having the largest number of smart phones at 230 million and having the fastest growing market. The second and third generation smart phone user do not use it as transactional devices alone.

Therefore, the new Galaxy phone series has a better display, camera and performance with a long lasting battery. Armed with 6 GB RAM the phone offers seamless multitasking experience for the user. “High resolution front camera is ideal for selfies and rear camera comes with dual LED flash for clear and enhanced images,” he explained. It also weighs just 188 gm and the full metal body design is 6.9 mm thick.

C9 will be available online and offline from January 27 and a pre-book order has one time screen replacement for a period of 12 months.
