A new Samsung smartphone with model number SM-A217F has appeared on GeekBench’s database. The device is said to be the Galaxy A21s and has all the dressing of a budget model.

The Samsung SM-A217F is not to be confused with the SM-A215U which appeared on GeekBench last month packing an Helio P35 chipset. That model is expected to launch as Samsung Galaxy A21 which is a mid-range model.

On its part, the Galaxy A21s(SM-A217F) is listed to feature a Samsung Exynos 850 chipset which the tech giant is yet to announce. The processor is an octa-core SoC with a base frequency of 2.0GHz. The processor is paired with 3GB of RAM. The phone equally runs on Android 10 OS.

An earlier report by Sammobile indicates that the Samsung SM-A217F  will likely come in 32GB and 64GB storage options. In addition, the device will pack a 2MP macro camera.

On the GeekBench test, the device polled a total of 183 points on the single-core test. On the multi-core test, it scored 1074 points.

Around the middle of last year, Samsung filed trademark applications for some of its 2020 Galaxy A series models. One of the names that were trademarked is the Galaxy A21. The model has now reportedly appeared on GeekBench database.

The device is listed as Samsung SM-A215U and is listed to pack an ARM MT6765V/AC processor which is likely the MediaTek Helio P35 Systems-on-Chip (SoC). The device is also listed with 3GB of RAM which is likely the base RAM version. In addition, the device will boot Android 10 operating system out of the box.

In terms of performance, the Galaxy A21 had a single-core test score of 782 points and on the multi-core test, it scored 3996 points.

The Galaxy A21 is the successor of the Galaxy A20 that was launched last year. The phone is a budget phone but renders leaked earlier this year points to an impressive design. The device is shown to have a hole-punch full-screen design. At the rear, the renders reveal a quad-camera setup-up adopting a vertical alignment.

The Galaxy A series got revamped this year. It now covers a wider range of prices and is no longer a line of upper mid-range phones. This decision contributed to Samsung‘s growth in markets like India where it was already losing to Chinese players like Xiaomi.

A few weeks ago, Samsung applied for trademarks for 9 new Galaxy A smartphones which will launch next year. Today, the camera specs for 8 of those phones have leaked, way ahead of their release dates.

The source of the leak is Sudhanshu Ambhore @Sudhanshu1414. He had previously teased that he had info about eight new devices scheduled for launch next year before tweeting the details today.

The phones are the Galaxy A21, Galaxy A31, Galaxy A41, Galaxy A51, Galaxy A61, Galaxy A71, Galaxy A81, and Galaxy A91.

Galaxy A21

The Galaxy A21 will come with triple rear cameras, one more sensor than its predecessor, the Galaxy A20. The primary camera is a 13MP sensor that is paired with an 8MP wide-angle camera and a 5MP depth sensor.

Galaxy A31

The Galaxy A30 also has dual rear cameras but its successor, the Galaxy A31 will have three. It will keep the 16MP primary sensor, upgrades the 5MP ultrawide camera to 8MP and adds a 5MP depth sensor.

Galaxy A41

The Galaxy A40 which also has a 16MP + 5MP dual camera combo will get a triple camera setup for its successor. The Galaxy A41 will have a 24MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 5MP depth sensor.

Galaxy A51

Samsung will switch to quad rear cameras for the Galaxy A51. The main camera will be a 32MP sensor paired with a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and a 5MP depth sensor.

Galaxy A61

The Galaxy A60’s successor will also get the quad-rear camera treatment. There is a 48MP main camera on the Galaxy A61. It will also have an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom like the Galaxy A51, and also a 5MP depth sensor.

Galaxy A71

The Galaxy A71 will also get a 48MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, another 12MP sensor but telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and then a ToF sensor.

Galaxy A81

The Galaxy A81 is Samsung’s most powerful A series phone at the moment but it will soon be dethroned by the upcoming Galaxy A90. The Galaxy A81 will have quad rear cameras and we doubt it will adopt the slide+rotate design of the Galaxy A80’s triple rear cameras.

The main camera of the Galaxy A81 is a 64MP sensor and it will be paired with a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, a 12MP telephoto camera with optical zoom (source not sure if it is 2x or 5x) and a Time of Flight sensor.

Galaxy A91

Last but definitely not least is the Galaxy A91, a successor to the yet-to-be-announced Galaxy A90. This will make use of Samsung’s 108MP sensor, most probably the one which was announced recently. It will add a 16MP ultrawide camera, a 12MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and a ToF camera.

Samsung’s Galaxy A series lineup for next year will be packing some serious camera specs which should make the competition worried. However, the authenticity of the above info is still unconfirmed. The Galaxy A20 launched in April which means a successor is still about eight months away. Even if the above specs are true, as of the time of writing, Samsung may decide to change some features.

The post Camera specs for 2020 Samsung Galaxy A series leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year the Galaxy A series went from being a line of upper mid-range phones to a mix of entry-level, mid-range, and premium/upper mid-range devices, thanks to the cancellation of the Galaxy J series.

The new Galaxy A series already has several members starting from the entry-level Galaxy A10 to the mid-range Galaxy A40 and to the Galaxy A80 which currently sits at the top. Samsung is planning to release more models such as the Snapdragon 855-powered Galaxy A90 and the budget Galaxy A10s.

According to the latest reports, the Korean smartphone company has already registered the names for next year’s models at the European Union Intellectual Property Office.

The document shows Samsung has registered the following names for 2020’s Galaxy A series:

• Galaxy A11
• Galaxy A21
• Galaxy A31
• Galaxy A41
• Galaxy A51
• Galaxy A61
• Galaxy A71
• Galaxy A81
• Galaxy A91

We are not sure if these are all the Galaxy A phones that will launch next year, but knowing Samsung we are pretty sure there will be more with “e” and “s” suffixes.

We also believe some of these phones will launch under the Galaxy M line in some other markets. The Galaxy A40s, for example, is sold as the Galaxy M30 in markets outside China. The Galaxy A60 sold in China is also the same device sold as the Galaxy M40 in India.
