While Google might be the official force behind Android, it’s no secret that Samsung is the most popular phone maker in the Android world. Samsung produces a wide variety of devices across all price points, primarily under the Galaxy brand. Many of these phones are well worth the money, but 2026 is proving to be a difficult year for many smartphone manufacturers.

As we’ve already seen with Motorola, the RAM crisis has forced many players to raise pricing while offering little new in exchange. Samsung is no different here. Below are just five models Samsung sells that I would caution against buying right now.
