Since 5G networks have begun going live in more and more countries, Samsung has been offering 5G-enabled phones in pretty much every price range. However, getting 5G access on an affordable Galaxy phone has also meant giving up on some good features seen on the LTE variant of the same phone.

As an example, take the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A13 LTE. The former has 5G connectivity and a faster processor, but its display and rear camera are lower-resolution. Not every Galaxy phone has such disparity in specs between its LTE and 5G variants, but there are a few other devices you can point to.

On the other hand, normal Galaxy A32 has a higher-resolution display and a better selfie camera,while the Galaxy A32 5G’s claim to fame is a faster processor under the hood. And, to be honest, this is one habit I hope Samsung abandons as we approach 2023, it will either make 5G a default feature or maintain specs on both LTE and 5G variants the same except for the type of cellular connectivity.

If either of those steps is taken, the 5G variant of every budget Galaxy smartphone will become more expensive. But that would be a lot less frustrating than Samsung reducing, say, the display resolution on the 5G variant, especially since its affordable 5G smartphones have faster processors compared to their LTE counterparts.

It is suggested that the company should revise its strategy of giving robust access to 5G connectivity. Since compromising on features and specs doesn’t coincide well with faster download speeds. Samsung is oriented towards establishing 5G as a basic feature. Hopefully, Samsung will make the necessary changes in its strategy as soon as possible.
