Tech giant Samsung has reportedly launched four new budget Galaxy devices - Galaxy Core II, Galaxy Star 2, Galaxy Ace 4, and Galaxy Young 2.

Samsung is making efforts to capture more market share and launch something for every segment. Just last week, Sprint announced it would exclusively offer the new fitness-focused, water-resistant, and dust-proof Galaxy S5 Sport.

The Korean company is focusing on 'affordability' with the new devices. However, they have not disclosed the pricing for the devices.

The Galaxy Core II was the highest-end of the bunch, with a 4.5-inch display, 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, CNET reported.

The Ace 4 has a 4-inch display, the same size as Apple's latest iPhone, and offers either a dual-core 1.2 GHz or dual-core 1.0 GHz processor. The Young 2 and Star 2 both have single-core 1.0 GHz processors and 3.5-inch displays, the report added.
