Samsung Galaxy A08, A07s Now Listed On SIRIM; Possibly Launching This Month

Samsung is not finished with its smartphone lineup for the year, as the tech giant is anticipated to introduce the Galaxy S26 FE soon. Following the unveiling of the more budget-friendly Galaxy A18 on Geekbench, the Galaxy A08 and Galaxy A07s have appeared on the SIRIM database, indicating that they have received certification. The Galaxy A08, identified by the model number SM-A085F, was certified on August 14, 2026, while the A07s, listed as SM-A077F, received approval one day earlier.

Although these entries do not provide specifics about the devices, they have also surfaced on the Google Play Console, suggesting that both models will sport a 720 x 1,600 pixel display with a waterdrop notch - a typical feature for Samsung's budget-friendly range. The devices are believed to be powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 chipset equipped with dual Mali-G57 GPUs.

While they share similarities, a few differences are noted. The Galaxy A08 is rumored to have 8GB of RAM, compared to the A07s' 4GB. As for the operating system, the A08 will reportedly come pre-loaded with Android 17, whereas the A07s will run on Android 16. Sources also provide insights into the A08's battery and expected launch date.

The phone will be equipped with a 5,830mAh battery, which may be advertised as 6,000mAh, although charging speeds will likely remain at 25W. Reports suggest that the Galaxy A08 could debut this month, aligning with the launch of its predecessor. It is important to note that Samsung raised the prices of its entry-level smartphones in July, with the A07 increasing from RM899 to RM1,049, so the upcoming models are likely to be priced similarly.
