Not really. A mid range phone is now easily $400-500 or more; that used to be the price range for flagships not that long ago.

I just bought a Moto G Stylus 5G 2023, $250 new, I’d consider it a midrange phone. Entry level would be the G Play which is $100 new. $500 to me would be a premium phone and $1000 is a flagship. My previous phone was a Moto G4 from around 2017. It was around $170 new and was positioned a little bit above where the G Play is now.
