Samsung is notorious for releasing a lot of different Android phones under the
“Galaxy” umbrella. Some Galaxy S models cost thousands of dollars while some
Galaxy A models are only a couple hundred bucks. So what’s the difference
anyway?

While companies like Apple and Google focus on just a few new smartphones a
year, Samsung wants to have a phone at every conceivable level. Throw spaghetti
at the wall and see what sticks. This is great for finding a Samsung phone that
matches your needs, but the abundance of choice can also make things confusing.





GALAXY S

Jack Skeens/Shutterstock.com

We’ll start with Samsung’s most well-known series, the Galaxy S. At one time,
Samsung said the “S” in Galaxy S stood for “Super Smart,” though the company has
since abandoned that. It does still tell us what this series is about, though.
It’s the best of the best.

RELATEDWhat Does the "S" in Samsung's Galaxy S Stand For?


The 2022 lineup of Galaxy S smartphones included the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+,
Galaxy S22 Ultra, and Galaxy S21 FE. These devices feature Samsung’s highest
specifications and best features. Big, high-definition displays, powerful
processors, plenty of RAM and storage, wireless charging, water resistance,
stylus, and much, much more.



The Ultra models sit at the top of the Galaxy S series, while the FE models are
at the bottom. The range in price is from around $1,300 to $700. The FE models
are the closest you’ll get to a “mid-range” Galaxy S. It’s not quite as
“everything but the kitchen sink” as the other Galaxy S devices.


GALAXY A

Samsung

The Galaxy A series is much more spread out than the Galaxy S series. The 2022
Galaxy A lineup included nine phones: Galaxy A03, Galaxy A03 Core, Galaxy A03s,
Galaxy A13, Galaxy A13 5G, Galaxy A23, Galaxy A33 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, and Galaxy
A73 5G.

These devices are firmly in the “entry-level” range. That simply means these
devices are more affordable and not as spec’d out as the Galaxy S series. They
have quite a few things in common, but there are a lot of differences too.



The key areas where you’ll see a downgrade from the Galaxy S are the materials
the phone is built of, display resolution, number of cameras, RAM, and
processor. You won’t see sacrifices in the display size, battery, and software
support.

There’s a pretty wide range in pricing for the Galaxy A series as well. At the
top, you’re looking at the Galaxy A73 and A53 for around $500. At the bottom,
you’ve got the Galaxy A03 series in the $150 range.

Basically, if you think of smartphones as existing on three tiers—high-end,
mid-range, and low-end—the A series occupies the latter two.

GALAXY Z

Samsung

The last series is Samsung’s newest and most confusing naming scheme. The Galaxy
Z series is for Samsung’s foldable phones, but the name is not used in all
regions.



The original Samsung foldable phone was simply called the Galaxy Fold. The “Z”
name was tacked on after the fact and given to subsequent devices in the
series—Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip 3, etc.

In March 2022, Samsung began removing the “Z” name from foldables in certain
regions. It’s widely assumed this was due to the letter “Z” being used as a
pro-war symbol by the Russian military and people. It’s not clear at this time
if Samsung will continue to move away from the “Z” naming scheme.

In regard to the actual devices, the Z series is for foldables. These are the
bleeding edge devices from Samsung. They’ve come down in price considerably over
the years. The Galaxy Z Flip series, especially, is now cheaper than the Galaxy
S Ultra series. The Fold, however, is still the most expensive series in
Samsung’s arsenal.


WHICH SERIES IS FOR YOU?

The nice thing about having so many options is there’s a Samsung phone for
everyone. You simply need to figure out what things are important to you and
pick the Samsung device that matches up.



For most people, the best option is the standard Galaxy S model—not the “Plus”
or the “Ultra.” It’s a good solid size that’s not too big and has most of the
features from the other models, but it isn’t quite as expensive.

Samsung is always releasing new phones in these series. If you don’t find
something you like, you may just need to wait for the next one. Samsung phones
are very popular and you can find them in most stores that sell smartphones.
