By now, we've all heard of "5G speed", and the promise of fast and new internet experiences, and thankfully upgrading will not set you back a lot of cash.

Samsung has three new phones in its "A" series that are designed for the price conscience consumer.

The A-32 is the least expensive option, priced at $280.

However, there are some trade-offs when compared to other mobile devices on the market.



The screen on the A-32 is a LCD display rather than LED, which some buyers say causes the colors to be less vibrant.

It has the same memory as an iPhone 11 but is a bit heavier, and the Samsung still has an earphone jack that are no longer standard on iPhones.

There's something else buyers should know before upgrading.

"The A-32, which is the first 5G phone under $300 that is specifically made for the T-Mobile brand and Cricket. Also, there is the A-42, not much different, which is for Verizon. That will cost a bit more," said High-Tech Texan Michael Garfield. "And then, there's the A-52 which is bit more robust. It runs $500, and that gets you on T-Mobile and AT&T."

There are three different 'A series' phones, and like all brands the more features you choose will add to the cost. But if you only have $300, reviewers who bought the phone seem to like it.
