“In the past, I brought the new technology and differentiation to the flagship model and then moved to the mid-end. But I have changed my strategy from this year to bring technology and differentiation points starting from the mid-end,”

Koh further said that Samsung is planning to  bring in cutting-edge features to its cheaper models first instead of introducing this new technology into the flagship Galaxy S and Note series of devices.

This move came just after when a global sales of Samsung smartphone went slowdown and now a company is feeling a bit of the pressure. According to CNBC, Sales in its mobile division fell 20 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2018 with the company attributing it to lower-than-expected sales of its high-end Galaxy S9 device.
