Samsung Galaxy A58 bags an important certification, fast charging speed revealed

Back in August, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A58 surfaced in the GSMA IMEI database, while a leak last month revealed its camera specifications. Now, the device has passed China’s 3C certification, indicating that its launch preparations are progressing. The latest listing also offers an early look at its charging capabilities.

Galaxy A58 3C certified

The 3C certification database has listed the Samsung Galaxy A58 with the model number SM-A5860. Identified as a 5G smartphone, the device supports up to 45W wired charging (15V/3A). This matches the charging speed offered by its predecessor, the Galaxy A57, meaning Samsung may not introduce an upgrade in this department. The certification also mentions that the phone will be sold without a charging adapter, so buyers will have to purchase one separately.

Samsung has yet to announce an official launch date. However, the Galaxy A57 debuted on March 25 this year, suggesting that its successor could follow a similar schedule. The Galaxy A58 is therefore expected to arrive around March 2027, potentially following the Galaxy S27 series. Its earlier GSMA database appearance and recent certification suggest that development is progressing.

Galaxy A58 specs: What’s known so far

According to an earlier report from GalaxyClub, the Galaxy A58 will retain the same camera resolutions as the A57. The setup reportedly includes a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 5-megapixel macro camera. On the front, the handset is expected to feature a 12-megapixel selfie camera. However, whether Samsung will introduce newer camera sensors remains unclear.

The upcoming phone is also tipped to run Android 17 with One UI 9.5. A firmware build carrying version A586BXXU0AZI5 was spotted on Samsung’s servers in October, indicating that software development is underway. The firmware sighting does not confirm the final software version, though.

For reference, the Galaxy A57 features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an Exynos 1680 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM and a 5,000mAh battery. It also supports 45W charging and carries an IP68 rating. Samsung could introduce a newer chipset and other incremental improvements with the A58, although its remaining specifications are still unknown.
