Samsung Galaxy A: Should You Buy it Now? Check out the Price Drops
Samsung's best-selling smartphone line, the Galaxy A family covers a wide range of price points, from the affordable $100 segment up to the premium mid-range line. With that comes not only all sorts of price points but also deep discounts months after the release date. To help you buy a Samsung Galaxy A phone at the best price NextPit tracks the historical prices for the main models such as the Galaxy A54, A53, A13, A23, and others.
This price tracker will be regularly updated, with significant price changes on the Galaxy A54, Galaxy A53, Galaxy A23, and Galaxy A14. This page will offer not only a custom price tracker, but it will also try to offer an idea of price trends for the different models.
Galaxy price drop: Is it the right time to buy the Samsung A14, A23, A53, or A54?
We checked the price drops on these four models via several online price comparison sites. Please note that this is not a change in the recommended or "official" price, but rather the street prices of the Galaxy A54, A53, and A23. NextPit will update this list as more models are released, or the existing phones are replaced.
Price reductions for the Samsung Galaxy A phones usually happen a few months after the release of the devices, But since not all models are updated at the same time, each Galaxy mid-ranger has its price drop at different times of the year.
Galaxy A54 price drops
| Price history | Date | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price | 04.06.2023 | $449.99 |
| Lowest price | 05.28.2023 | $374.99 |
| Current price | 05.28.2023 | $374.99 |
Announced in March 2023, the Galaxy A54 reached store shelves at the beginning of April, with an MSRP of $449.99. It is still a bit early in the mid-ranger lifespan, but Amazon already offered a deal including a gift card.
NextPit has yet to review Samsung's contender for the 2023 intermediate crown, so keep an eye on our social media channels to be notified when we publish our comprehensive review.
Galaxy A53 price drops
| Price history | Date | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price | 03.17.2022 | $449.99 |
| Lowest price | 04.28.2023 | $349.00 |
| Current price | 05.28.2023 | $447.90 |
With rumors circulating about the Galaxy A54 way before its launch, the Galaxy A53 reached its lowest price point during Black Friday 2022, repeating the historically low price found in May: $349.99.
After a processor upgrade in the A53, its follow-up is expected to receive a new design, inheriting the visual language that should debut in the Galaxy S23 line in early 2023. The result is deep discounts in the 2022 model, like the one offered by Amazon.
Galaxy A23 price drops
| Price history | Date | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price | 09.01.2022 | $299.99 |
| Lowest price | 10.30.2023 | $264.99 |
| Current price | 05.28.2023 | $299.99 |
The Galaxy A23 (or A23 5G, according to Samsung, which didn't release the "4G" alternative in the US) is a relative newcomer, being launched in September 2022. Because of that, the phone price has been quite stable, with the post-Black Friday price back to the original MSRP.
With few upgrades over the cheaper A13 5G (see below), it may be worth checking either the entry-level model or jumping over to the vastly superior Galaxy A53 above.
Galaxy A14 5G price drops
| Price history | Date | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price | 01.05.2023 | $199.99 |
| Lowest price | 02.05.2023 | $174.99 |
| Current price | 05.28.2023 | $199.99 |
The newest kid on the block, the Galaxy A14 brought 5G to an even lower price point in 2023. With an MSRP of $199.99, the entry-level phone arrived at shelves $50 cheaper than its predecessor, which seems to be discontinued.
And early-birds even manage to get a discount, with Amazon already offering the Galaxy A14 5G with a discount:

How does NextPit track price drops of smartphones?
Starting from the launch price of each smartphone when it was released, we started by listing chronologically the first notable price drop followed by the lowest price ever, then the last notable price drop, and finally the current price.
For our listings, we compared prices between Amazon, the official stores, BestBuy and Google Shopping.
When the price observed on the day of the publication of this article and each update is lower than the "official" or recommended price by the manufacturer, we recommend you buy the smartphone via an affiliate link. If the current price is lower than the last price drop or even the lowest price ever, we will also recommend you buy the smartphone. Note that this data is manually extracted from the price histories of several online price comparison sites.
Other price trackers:
- Apple iPhone deals tracker
- Google Pixel price tracker
- Samsung Galaxy S21 price tracker
- Samsung Galaxy S22 price tracker
- Samsung Galaxy S23 deals tracker
Are there any particular smartphones you'd like me to keep an eye on for price drops? Tell us all about it in the comments.
