Our Views on Samsung Galaxy Y:
It is definitely a Mid Range Android smartphone targeted to the youth, to the college goers. Samsung Galaxy Y should be priced under Rs.10,000 and it will hit the right chord if it is available at a price around 7,000. It will also be the cheapest Android 2.3 mobile. However, not worth buying over 7-8k.
