Samsung Galaxy A18 4G Leak Reveals Familiar Specs At A Higher Price

Samsung is set to launch a refreshed version of its entry-level Galaxy A18 smartphone, as indicated by a recent leak. A set of renders shared by Android Headlines has unveiled more details about the upcoming handset, though a 5G variant is also expected to look similar but with different specifications. The new renders reveal a familiar pill-shaped camera module, a waterdrop notch for the front camera, and a display with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, 90Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

The device is expected to house a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM, similar to what was previously seen in the Geekbench listing. Storage options include 128GB, 256GB, and up to 2TB via a microSD slot, and the phone is rumored to feature a 5,000mAh battery with 25W wired charging. The rear camera is expected to be a 50MP main lens, accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide shooter and a 2MP macro sensor.

Other rumored features include an IP64 rating, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, Android 17 via One UI 9, and a higher price compared to the previous model, priced at EUR299 (~RM1,405).
