We haven’t been shy about celebrating the rise of the mid-range and budget-friendly smartphone segments. We’ve waxed poetic on the golden age that the Pixel A and Galaxy A series are in, and we’ve rated several entries from both Google and Samsung very highly over the years. Most of the time, we’re talking about the upper mid-range segment, including the Pixel 7a and the Galaxy A54, but Samsung is even bringing the quality at the more affordable end. It’s reached the point where you can’t go wrong with a Samsung Galaxy A device — even the most affordable Galaxy A14 5G.
