Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy A18 4G, and the phone comes with a surprise in the chipset department. We’d expected Samsung to reuse an older MediaTek chip, but that isn’t what the company ended up using.
Back in August, benchmark listings showed the MediaTek Helio G99 as the processor for the Galaxy A18 4G. The same chip had already appeared in the Galaxy A15, A16, and A17 4G. Instead, Samsung has equipped the new phone with its own Exynos 1610, though very little is known about the chip itself.
Samsung Galaxy A18 4G Specifications
Most of the other specifications are in line with earlier leaks and tipster reports. The Galaxy A18 4G has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone also has a flat frame with rounded edges and a waterdrop notch on the front.
For cameras, you get a 50MP main camera on the back paired with a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro. The front has a 13MP selfie camera. Keeping everything running is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. Samsung says the phone can reach 50% charge in around 30 minutes.
The Galaxy A18 4G also gets a few Galaxy AI features, including Circle to Search. You also gett Gemini integration, letting you perform tasks such as sending messages or adding calendar events using natural language.
The phone has an IP64 rating for protection against dust and water splashes. On the software side, it runs One UI 9.0 based on Android 17 and will receive six years of OS updates and security updates. That’s in line with the update policy Samsung introduced with the Galaxy A17.
Price and Availability
The Galaxy A18 4G is available in Black, Gray, and Light Blue. Samsung is offering the Galaxy A18 4G with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as the base. It’s priced at €280 in France, NOK 3,290 in Norway, and SEK 3,290 in Sweden. The latter two countries also get a 256GB variant for NOK 5,190 and SEK 5,190, respectively.
