Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices.

Samsung Galaxy devices will no longer ship with the company’s own Messages application pre-installed – at least in the US.

Nothing launched the Phone 2a earlier this year, a mid-range and cheaper alternative to its current flagship, the Nothing Phone 2.

Since its release, the Carl Pei-led company has launched a special edition and a new color to keep it in the limelight. Now, Nothing might take things up a size by launching a Plus variant of the mid-ranger.
