Samsung has announced its first new smartphones since being forced to discontinue the Galaxy Note7 over safety concerns.
The Korean technology giant is to launch new versions of their Galaxy A series - the A3 and A5 - two mid-range phones designed to be more affordable than the company's flagship Note and Galaxy S ranges.
Samsung was forced to recall and then discontinue the Note7 in October after multiple reports of the phone exploding.
The new phones, which come with 4.7-inch and 5.2-inch displays respectively, will be available to pre-order in the UK from January 20, the tech giant said.
The company is yet to confirm pricing for the two devices.
