Samsung’s 2016 editions of the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 were the company’s first steps in the market for premium-feeling budget smartphones. The J5 and J7 had metal rims that made for a notably improved look and feel compared to the original Galaxy J handsets and pretty much any other low-cost Samsung phone that had come before.

[Poll] Would you consider yourself a Samsung loyalist?

Regardless of the industry, every major brand strives to inspire brand loyalty among its customers. After all, it’s relatively easier to get an existing customer to purchase one of your products again as opposed to acquiring a new customer. Tech companies thrive off of customer loyalty.

I don’t personally agree with the criticism that Samsung has had to take because of this decision.

Samsung may be preparing to launch a new wearable at IFA in September.

Based on its name, we’d...
