Samsung has added three new entry-level mobile phones to its line up for India — Champ 3.5G, Chat 527 and Primo.

Samsung Primo is a typical candy bar handset that comes with 2.4 inch portrait display but features a 5 megapixel camera at back which is quite a surprise. It also has a front facing VGA camera for video calling.
