Galaxy A27 costs $349.99 despite downgraded specs

TL;DR Summary
Samsung announces the Galaxy A27 at $349.99—$50 more than the A26—even as it downgrades selfie and ultrawide cameras, waterproofing, and thickness; the sole upgrade is a move from Exynos 1380 to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. With industry-wide price hikes, Samsung is charging more for a budget phone. It goes on sale in the US July 14 (black only), with blue and pink options in international markets and an earlier July 3 release overseas.
