Apart from launching the S-series flagship phones at the beginning of the year 2020, Samsung is also expected to new A-series phones. Recent reports have leaked vital information on the upcoming Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 phones. A fresh report on Sammobile hints at the existence of the Galaxy A81 phone. Interestingly, the Galaxy A81 is expected to arrive with support for S Pen stylus.

The report claims that the newly spotted SM-AN815F model number suggests that it could be an offbeat device. The letter that follows ‘SM’ in the model number usually denotes to the series a phone will belong to. For instance, S-series phones have SM-Gxxxx model number, Note-lineup smartphones have SM-Nxxxx model number and A-series phones have SM-Axxxx model number. However, the SM-AN815F seems to be a unique device.

The SM-AN815F model number could be belong to the upcoming Galaxy A81. However, the presence of A and N in the model number hints that the phone could be coming with a S Pen stylus. Recent reports have revealed that the upcoming Galaxy A91 that has a model number of SM-A915F and Galaxy S10 Lite with SM-G770F could be same device even though they belong to different series. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A81 could be a rebranded version of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite for some markets.

Apart from Note series, no other Samsung phones have featured the S Pen stylus. If the Galaxy A81 really arrives with S Pen, it will be a good attempt from Samsung on bringing stylus support on a cheaper as Note lineup flagship phones have always carried hefty price tags.
