The Samsung A-series for 2022 – its bread-and-butter line for everyone – includes models from as low as $329 with the 5G models A33, A53 and A73 at $599, $699 and $799.

These are uber-competitive handsets both on price and features. Samsung’s position as the largest Android smartphone maker and Vietnam assembly means supply should not be an issue.
