If you've been holding off on buying one of Samsung's pricey flagship phones, I don't blame you — they're jam-packed with features you probably won't use. But perhaps I can interest you in one of the five (yes, that's right, five) new phones the company has to offer instead.

Following the recent global launch of its mid-range A series phones, Samsung is now bringing similar options to the U.S. as well — along with a few budget options. Let's dive into exactly what the lineup has to offer.

Starting at $499.99, the A52 5G is the most expensive of the lineup. It features a 6.5-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. For rear cameras, it comes with a quad-camera module that includes a 64-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, 5-megapixel macro camera, and a 5-megapixel depth camera.

Under the hood, it packs a Snapdragon 750G processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. If you need more, there's also a microSD card slot for up to 1TB. When it comes to battery life, there's a 4,500mAh battery and support for 25W fast charging.

The A42 5G is less expensive, starting at $399.99, so it doesn't pack as many high-end features as the A52 5G. It does, however, feature a slightly larger 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display (HD+) with an on-screen fingerprint sensor. But instead of 120Hz, you'll only get a 60Hz refresh rate with this one.

On the back is a triple camera setup that includes 48-megapixel main sensor, 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front, the A42 5G comes equipped with a 13-megapixel selfie camera.

For its processor, the smartphone is also powered by a Snapdragon 750G and offers 4GB of RAM coupled with 128GB of internal storage. Like the A52 5G, the A42 5G has a microSD card slot with expandable storage up to 1TB. It also has a bigger battery, coming in at 5,000mAh with support for 15W fast charge.

Next up is the Galaxy A32 5G which starts at $279.99. The biggest difference to those aforementioned phones is that it uses a MediaTek 720 chipset — which is mainly found in entry-level devices.

As for the rest of its features, the A32 5G (with support for sub-6 speeds) includes a 6.5-inch LCD HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 13-megapixel selfie camera. For rear cameras, it packs the same main and ultra-wide angle sensors as the A42 5G. But the macro and depth sensors come in at 5 megapixels and 2 megapixels, respectively. There's also a 5,000mAh battery.

The Galaxy A12 is your more budget option, starting at $179.99. On the front is a 6.5-inch LCD HD+ display with a 60Hz refresh rate. For cameras, it features an 8-megapixel selfie camera while the back is home to a 16-megapixel main sensor, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

It's also powered by a MediaTek P35 processor and comes with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging. For storage, it offers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage complete with a microSD card slot up to 1TB.

Galaxy A02s

The most affordable of them all is the Galaxy A02s, which starts at $109.99 but doesn't differ allthat much from the A12. It comes with the same 6.5-inch LCD HD+ display with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 5,000mAh battery (with 15W fast charging).

It packs a bit less RAM though, at 2GB. But you get the same 32GB of internal storage. Additionally, Samsung went with a Qualcomm processor — specifically the Snapdragon 450. Like the MediaTek chip, it's also commonly found on entry-level phones.

On back is a triple camera setup with a 13-megapixel main sensor, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Meanwhile, on the front is a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
