Earlier this month, a Samsung device with the model number A9050 was seen on Geekbench. Based on the result, we were able to deduce the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 730. By the model number, the device should launch as the Galaxy A90. However, a new leak which surfaced today lists a different processor for the device.
The source of the leak is @OnLeaks who had previously said there is no device called the A90 but that Samsung was going to launch a new Galaxy R-series.
So. What many are calling #GalaxyA90 (SM-A90X) will very likely be launched as the new #GalaxyR series.
– Two models already in the pipeline.
– Both have huge display and triple camera.
– At least one of them comes with 5G support and the other with a very unique camera feature. pic.twitter.com/oJMnzJSYG1— Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) June 21, 2019
His new tweet confirms there is indeed a Galaxy A90 – technically two of them – the SM-A908 and the SM-A905 – and both are powered by the Snapdragon 855. The fact that they are powered by a flagship chipset is what’s surprising and not the Snapdragon 730.
In order to somehow make amends, I bring you the key specs of these devices 😜
– SM-A908: SD855, 6.7-inch screen with in-display FPS, 48+8+5 rear camera, 5G support.
– SM-A905: SD855, 6.7-inch screen with in-display FPS, 48+12+5 rear camera with exclusive Tilt OIS tech!Cheers! pic.twitter.com/uqfFTnfoIQ

According to him, the SM-A908 will have a 6.7-inch screen with an in-display fingerprint scanner and come with triple rear cameras – 48MP + 8MP + 5MP. He also mentioned that the phone will have 5G support.
Galaxy R series does not exist, “Rx” is only the internal code of Galaxy A, some Leaker get the wrong information, in fact, Galaxy A90 is still Galaxy A90, it has a 5G version, using 45w fast charging.

This is most likely the same 5G Galaxy A90 Ice Universe tweeted about a few days ago. Based on that tweet, we can add 45W fast charging as one of its features.
The SM-A905, on the other hand, will also be powered by the Snapdragon 855. It will have a 6.7-inch screen too with an in-display fingerprint scanner. It also has triple rear cameras but in a 48MP + 12MP + 5MP configuration. One exciting feature it has is referred to as Tilt Optical Image Stabilization and it will be an exclusive feature of the device.
Based on this new leak, we can deduce the Galaxy A90 will have two models – a 5G version and an LTE model. However, both will differ in other areas too.
