Samsung announces A20, A50 and A70 phones

I just had a discussion yesterday with someone about the Samsung lineup and they were hearing about the new line up of A series phones.  The A8 I had tried out last year was a great mid line option for folks not needing all the bells and whistles.

Well, here we are and they've just announced 3 new phones, the A20, A50 and A70, all available as of June 7th (that's this Friday), all for a decent price, starting at $350 and only as high as $630.


Press Release:

Today, Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. announced the Galaxy A Series lineup will be available in-stores nationwide on June 7, 2019.  The Canadian line will include the Galaxy A20, A50 and A70, designed to provide industry wide innovations at an accessible price-point.  All three Galaxy A models offer improvements to the essential device features that matter most, including offering an immersive viewing experience, longer lasting performance and a camera which captures the world as you see it.  

The Galaxy A Series offers consumers choice without compromise within the mid-tier portfolio and was designed for the way that people are connecting today – sharing, capturing and consuming live content. The new mobile line includes diverse, powerful devices that can keep up with these spontaneous, collaborative interactions.
