Samsung’s lineup of Galaxy phones has numerous models, with each offering something a little different.

This includes a 6.6-inch screen, a 50-megapixel camera, 64GB of storage space for photos and movies, and an all-around immersive experience. The Galaxy A14 offers virtually lag-free 5G connectivity and a long-lasting battery, so you can stay at work or play all throughout the day.

Its 6.6-inch screen is great for keeping in touch with friends and for browsing social media, and the 50-megapixel camera gets you in the content creation game as well.

While there are newer generations of the Apple iPhone available, it wasn’t that long ago that the Apple iPhone 11 found itself amongst the best phones. This is reason alone to make it your new phone of choice, but this $50 price tag from Cricket adds even more incentive. You can shoot 4K videos and take beautiful portraits with the iPhone 11, as it features Apple’s dual-camera system. You can capture low-light photos with the popular Night Mode, and the A13 Bionic chip is great for not only photography, but for gaming and augmented reality as well.
