The online-only model in emerging markets has been instrumental in the 
success of many a player, especially newcomers. It appears as though veteran makers like Samsung have taken a leaf out of their books to give the end user the benefit of more direct supply chain. Not long back, Samsung teased a Galaxy Grand phone, presumably the Grand 3.
As per the new teaser, “Samsung to launch the new Grand series smartphone exclusively on Snapdeal.com. The slim and stylish device is already making waves internationally.” Samsung touts the upcoming Galaxy as the “Grnadest Galaxy Ever.” The teaser of the invite reads, “The Grandest Ever, Coming Soon,” and shows the partial image of the smartphone. The photo shown in the invite is pretty similar to the leaks we have seen for Samsung Galaxy Grand 3.
