New Delhi, July 23 (IANS) Samsung India has sold over 20 lakh units of its recently-launched Galaxy J8 and J6 mid-segment smartphones in India, attracting nearly 50,000 consumers a day, the company said on Monday.
Galaxy J6 was launched on May 22 while Galaxy J8 was introduced on July 1.
"We are happy with the huge success of Galaxy J8 and J6 smartphones. Our philosophy of keeping our ears to the ground and incorporating consumer feedback into our products has paid off," said Asim Warsi, Senior Vice President, Samsung India.
The "Chat-over-Video" feature in Infinity models received an overwhelming response with more than 50 per cent consumers using it on a regular basis.
"Galaxy J8 and J6 have set the standard for an unparalleled viewing experience with our signature super AMOLED Infinity Display," Warsi added.
Galaxy J8 is available at Rs 18,990 and Galaxy J6 (64GB and 32GB variants) are available at Rs 15, 990 and Rs 13,990, respectively.
Both Galaxy J8 and J6 sport Samsung's signature "Infinity Design" philosophy, giving users nearly 15 per cent more display area without increasing the overall size of the device.

Galaxy J8 also sports advanced dual rear camera with flagship "Live Focus" feature, where users can bring sharp focus to the foreground while blurring out the background.
