Korean tech giant Samsung continues to push its way into the middle class by working on midrange smartphones that boast of beefed-up features and specs.

ZDnet reports that recently Samsung unveiled new 2016 editions of the Galaxy A series phones Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7. Although these models share some great components inside besides their good-looking exterior, what sets them apart from each other might just be the screen sizes.

CNET reports that all three will have good cameras, dual-SIM functionality, Samsung S-Voice support and Samsung KNOX security features. However, those who would want Samsung Pay conveniences should choose from either the A5 or A7 only.

These phones are scheduled for a mid-December release first in China, before eventually being released around the world.
