Smartphone maker Samsung is targeting to cross 100 million Galaxy A series unit sales in India this year as it expands its portfolio with the launch of two new models -- A56 and A36, each available in three variants, a senior company official said on Monday.

"As per Counterpoint Research, there are 89 million happy customers on A series. We are targeting greater than 100 million devices in A series this year," he noted.
