No Name Chinese brand is "low budget" in those regions, not Samsung.

Samsung has been accused of shipping budget Galaxy A and M series smartphones with pre-installed spyware that users can’t easily remove.

They're talking about "affordable Samsung models".

"Budget" for a Samsung, not "budget" for a smartphone on that region and definitelly not "low budged".

Want to check what "low budged" means for a smartphone in unstable (read: poor) regions, go to to AliExpress and search for "cheap smartphone".
