    <p>I feel like the mid-range is way more interesting than the flagship space nowadays. Looks like some nice Pixel 3a competitors. </p>

    <p>I bet 99% of the people that buy Galaxy S phones could get along with an A50 without even noticing. Those are nice specs for $350, and the screen is humongous.</p>

    <p>We've had the A20, A30, A50 and A70 in AUS for a few weeks now. Great phones for the price. The big bright screen screams premium next to the stuff you'd normally see at each of the price points.</p><p><br></p><p>Here the A70 costs the same as a Pixel 3a. And Google wonders why they struggle to move stock.</p>

    <p>They need to add Samsung Pay to these devices. </p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#434887">In reply to kenkobra:</a></em></blockquote><p>If they did I might not buy a flagship model. That's the main feature keeping me with the Galaxy S lineup, and so I have to conclude that they shouldn't add it to their midrange phones. </p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#434887">In reply to kenkobra:</a></em></blockquote><p><br></p><p>The A50 specs in the link above specify that NFC and Samsung Pay are included though, unless I am missing something.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#434973">In reply to the escalation:</a></em></blockquote><p>Looks like it doesn't include the magstripe functionality that makes Samsung Pay so valuable compared to the alternative services. </p>

          <blockquote><em><a href="#435048">In reply to Daekar:</a></em></blockquote><p>I haven't seen a shop use a mag card reader in years. In fact, my bank card doesn't even have a mag stripe.</p>

    <p>These phones actually look really nice in person. </p><p><br></p><p>Also, is this an ad? Serious question.</p><p><br></p>

    <p>I consider $349.99 to be at the high end of the mid-range. With the cheapest phones being well under $100 and the most expensive over $1000, I think we need more than 3 price range definitions. </p>
