The Samsung SM-E500F might be the pioneer of a new smartphone lineup

Samsung is currently faced against dwindling sales, declining profits, while many ambitious and potent rivals are eyeing its position on the market with pleasure.

Fortunately, the giant is perfectly aware that something needs to be done and the reported restructuring at the top of the company indicates that Sammy wants to "cure" itself from the bad luck. We also heard that the company's portfolio for the next year will consist of significantly less models than its 2014 one, for example, which will help the potential customers discern the company's different phones more easily.

One of these could be the Samsung SM-E500F, a device that has been caught on the Zauba import tracking site and intended for testing purposes in India. It's the first Samsung device to adopt the letter "E" in its model name, which hints us that it could be the pioneer of a new device family. Its import price is INR9,378, which translates to roughly $151 and indicates that the device will probably be an entry-level offering.

There is no additional info about this device, but SamMobile speculates that the SM-E500F could end up being a Samsung device that employs a single-letter naming scheme, similar to the purported names of the Samsung Galaxy A3, A5 and A7.

$757 is not a midranger. It is a pure flagship. Sammy have to work at the price scheme.

I like the concept that they want to try to make new phones for the consumer but they are flooding the market with too much variations of the galaxy line. This should stop

If you were half as funny as you think you are, you'd be twice as funny as you are now.

Samsung is cutting their lower range phones price in my country (BD). They really need to cut the price and change the TW completely. There should be at least 2/4 lower range exnoys processors unless they don't want to use MediaTek processors.

They made a expensive mistake with the overpriced, overrated, overplastic, overlaggy, overtouchwized, overbloated, overcheaplookingandfeeling S5, not too mention the overflooding the market with cheap mid-range stuff strategy.

Well I'm actually not a hater, I've had two Samsung phones, I appreciate their work, but I don't think I'll ever get a plastic touchwized Sammy again.
