Amazon wants to bring in 1-day shipping.
Amazon announced that it is wanting to upgrade all Prime shipping to one-day for all Prime subscribers. They already have on-day shipping options for some Prime products for Prime subscribers in eligible areas.

Samsung Galaxy A50: the best mid-range phone in the US?
Samsung has been revamping their mid-range phone strategy with new A and M series smartphones. They have especially targeted Indian with their M series. One of their new phones that I am especially interested in is the Galaxy A50, a $300 phone that competes with the Moto G7.
The A50’s specs include a Samsung Exynos 9610 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage with expandable storage via microSD, a 25MP main camera, 8MP wide-angle camera, and a depth sensor for portrait photos. The display is a 6.4″ AMOLED panel at 1080p resolution. The screen also has a “Infinity-U” camera notch in the top middle.
Compared to the Moto G7, the Samsung Galaxy A50 has a slightly larger display, more cameras, a similar processor, no Verizon or Sprint support, and OneUI instead of stock Android.
