Samsung Galaxy A27 costs $50 more with downgraded cameras

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Verge ·

Samsung's Galaxy A27 launches at $349.99, $50 pricier than the A26 despite downgrading to a 12MP selfie camera and 5MP ultrawide. The phone also loses IP67 water resistance for IP64. The higher price and lower specs make it a tough sell against competitors.

Meridian48 take
Samsung is testing brand loyalty by raising prices while cutting features, a risky move in the budget segment.
