5 Samsung Galaxy Phones You Shouldn’t Buy in 2019

If you’re dead set on buying a Samsung Galaxy phone this summer or sometime later in the year, there are some phones you’ll want to avoid.

In a few weeks Samsung will debut its newest flagship, the Galaxy Note 10. The Galaxy Note 10 looks like an excellent alternative to company’s Galaxy S10 line and a solid competitor for the current iPhone models, the upcoming 2019 iPhones, and top Android phones like the OnePlus 7 Pro.

If you can’t or don’t want to wait for the Galaxy Note 10 launch, you don’t have to. There are some outstanding phones on shelves right now. Some Samsung, some not.

Google’s Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a are top notch choices, so are the OnePlus 7, iPhone XS and iPhone XR. If you don’t want to spend a ton of cash, make sure you look at the OnePlus 6T and Google’s Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. They’re still in great shape as we push deeper into 2019.

If you’d prefer a Samsung-made device, you’ve got a ton of options at your disposal.

We recommend taking a look at Samsung’s Galaxy S10 series which includes the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, budget Galaxy S10e, and Galaxy S10 5G.

The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are still great and should get upgraded to Android Q down the road. Likewise, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 can hold its own and it’s much cheaper than it was at launch last year.

If you’re hunting for a new phone, these are some of the Galaxy models and Galaxy alternatives you should have on your shopping list. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at some of the Galaxy phones that shouldn’t be on your list.

These are the Samsung phones you should avoid buying if you can help it.
