Samsung's Next 5G Phone May Be The Galaxy A90

While all current 5G phones belong to the high-end segment, Samsung is likely doing differently by releasing the Galaxy A90, leaks reveal.

The Note and Galaxy S lineups include the highest-end phones from Samsung, which means they are expensive. This year, the company has added another tier to its product portfolio with 5G versions of the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10.

And while you may be questioning what’s the next premium smartphone to come with 5G, Samsung may have caught you off guard by bringing the fifth-generation network to the A series. Leaks reveal that Samsung’s next 5G phone will be the Galaxy A90 5G. Contrast to the Galaxy S and Note lineup, the Galaxy A series include midrange and budget smartphones although the A90 5G seems not to the like.

The leak came from Evan Blass, who constantly share accurate leaks about phones. On Sunday, Blass tweeted pictures of promotional material. While the tweet didn’t include any further information, a different leak did.

Korean forums shared photos of what could be the phone’s box, from which we can guess the handset will sport three rear cameras, including a 48MP lens, a 5MP lens, and an 8MP lens, along with a 32MP camera on the front. In addition, the smartphone may offer 6GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, and is powered by an 8-core chipset.

Finally, July leaks revealed that the chipset packed in this phone would be the Snapdragon 855 from Qualcomm, which is currently the fastest CPU available for Android smartphones.

All in all, with 5G capability, a premium chipset, and three rear cameras, you cannot expect the price to be midrange though the phone may carry the A name.
