Samsung is planning on launching another entry level 5G smartphone in the European market soon. But this time, the company will be launching a 5G variant of an existing 4G model, which is the Galaxy A23.

As of right now, finer details regarding its launch is still unknown, but it is expected to launch sometime in the middle of this year. Since we are nearing the half yearly point, the South Korean tech giant’s announcement for the Galaxy A23 5G model could be just around the corner. The launch of this handset will expand the brand’s affordable 5G Galaxy phone portfolio in the European region.

Currently, the company already sells its Galaxy A23 4G smartphone, which features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC. So, we can safely assume that the 5G variant of this model will feature certain changes in hardware, especially in terms of its processor under the hood. The news arrives from sources close to the matter (Via GalaxyClub), although, a concrete launch date for this upcoming budget 5G smartphone is still at large at the moment.

Apart from a 5G enabled processor, we can expect the Galaxy A23 5G to be mostly similar to the 4G version of Galaxy A23. In other words, it would likely sport a 6.6 inch PLS LCD panel that has a 90Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. The rear may feature a 50 megapixel primary camera while the front houses an 8 megapixel selfie shooter. A large 5,000mAh battery pack would power the device, which supports 25W fast charging.

The mid-range smartphone category in India is going through a growth phase. This segment in the country covers the phones selling in the range of ₹20,000-₹45,000. Therefore, earlier this week, Samsung announced its plans to conquer almost half of the mid-range smartphone market in the region.

A few days back, Samsung took wraps off five new Galaxy A series models for India. At the launch event in Bengaluru, Aditya Babbar, Senior Director and Marketing Head for Samsung India, revealed to the Deccan Herald (via SamMobile) that the South Korean electronics is hoping to capture 40% of the mid-range smartphone segment (₹20,000-₹45,000) in the country with the help of its new handsets.

According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung’s market share in India’s mid-range smartphone category stood at 28% in 2021. The company registered a growth of 87% YoY in this segment.

Since India is a price-sensitive market, brands have been pushing various financing options to attract consumers. Samsung introduced its own lending platform dubbed ‘Samsung Finance Plus’ three years ago. It is currently available in over 50,000 stores across India. Babbar disclosed that over 50% of this platform’s users are new to credit as they have never availed loans in their life.

The average selling price of smartphones in India increased in 2021 due to supply issues. At the same time, mid-range phones now offer more as well as diversified features targeting multiple audiences. This has resulted in the growth trajectory for the mid-range smartphone category in the region, and hence, every OEM wants a pie of it.

The post Samsung Galaxy A23, Galaxy A13 India launch imminent, here’s what to expect appeared first on Gizmochina.

Although Samsung’s Galaxy S series has the most marketing promo throughout the year, Samsung’s true bestsellers of the year have always been its budget and mid-range Galaxy A series. Leaks, rumours and electronics safety certifications of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A33, A53 and A73 devices have been spotted in the wild for the past few weeks, hinting at an imminent launch, and today one leak finally revealed when we will finally see the 2022 Samsung Galaxy A series come to market.

The leak comes from the industry-famous leakster, evleaks on Twitter, sharing a promo poster for upcoming Samsung’s Galaxy A event. It seems that Samsung is planning to debut its latest 2022 Samsung Galaxy A series smartphone lineup on March 17, 2022, which is next Thursday, via Samsung.com. For context, last year’s Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72 were also launched globally on March 17 as well.

The poster does not mention or address any highlights of the 2022 Samsung Galaxy A series directly, but instead through the subtle means of graphic design. From the clipart teasers on the poster, we can deduce that several highlights of the Samsung Galaxy A series include an improved screen and camera from its predecessor, improved low-light photography capabilities and water resistance for the 2022 Galaxy A lineup.

As the highlight of the event this year would be the Samsung Galaxy A33, A53 and A73, Samsung actually decided to quietly launch the entry-level Samsung A series devices, the Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 last week. Despite being entry-level smartphones, these 2 devices actually have a lot to offer for buyers who aren’t willing to break the bank.

Both the Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 feature enhanced durability with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front display(the same one used on the Galaxy Note 9), a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, faster 25W charging support(same as the standard flagship Galaxy S22) compared to last year’s 15W found on the Galaxy A12 and A22, and upgraded cameras. If Samsung’s entry-level devices this year already have this much to offer, it would be interesting to see what the company has to offer in its 2022 mid-range offerings.

The post Samsung A Series 2022 to debut on March 17, as Promo Poster Surfaces Online appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, a tipster suggested that Samsung will be holding its second iteration of the Galaxy Awesome Unpacked event in March to announce the next generation of Galaxy A series smartphones. A few days later, a report from South Korea reiterates the same.

According to a report by The Korean Herald (via SamMobile), Samsung Electronics is expected to hold an event in mid-March to unveil new Galaxy A series handsets. This conference is said to be a response to Apple’s March 8 event where the American tech giant is rumored to announce the third-gen iPhone SE with 5G connectivity.

On the other hand, Samsung will reportedly debut four phones, namely Galaxy A73, Galaxy A53, Galaxy A33, and Galaxy A23. Out of these, the company has already quietly revealed details about the Galaxy A23 alongside Galaxy A13, Galaxy M23, and Galaxy M33 a few days back.

Further, the report states that the Galaxy A73 will be the most expensive of all the aforementioned smartphones. It is expected to arrive with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chip.

Samsung revamped the Galaxy A series in 2019 to take on the Chinese competitors. Due to positive feedback, the company has been introducing new models every year.

According to Omdia, the Galaxy A12 was the world’s most shipped smartphone with a record 51.8 million units in shipments. In fact, the handset was Samsung’s first phone to ship over 50 million units in a year.

As the hype for the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 flagship series cools down, Samsung is right on schedule to release its best-selling Galaxy A series to the market in 2022 as well. Today, Samsung officially unveiled its brand new entry-level smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G and A23 4G to the public.

Let’s start with the highlights. Both the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G and A23 4G feature enhanced durability with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front display(the same one used on the Galaxy Note 9), a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, faster 25W charging support compared to last year’s 15W, and upgraded cameras.

Samsung Galaxy A13 4G

Despite bearing a similar name to the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G launched last year, besides the connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G actually has upgraded internals compared to the A13 5G.

The Samsung Galaxy A13 features a 6.6” FHD+ TFT LCD display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. Powering the phone is a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support and an unnamed octa-core processor (2.2GHz + 2GHz) under the hood(though previous Geekbench listings showed that the device was running on an Exynos 850). The device runs on Samsung’s latest One UI 4.1 based on Android 12.

For the back, the Samsung Galaxy A13 features a quad-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro and depth sensors. The selfie camera houses an 8MP f/2.2 unit. 

The device weighs 195g, with dimensions of 165.1 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm and its housing is made of Samsung’s polycarbonate “glasstic” material. The phone comes in 4 pastel colours which are blue, peach, white and black.

It is available to be purchased in 3/4/6GB RAM + 32/64/128GB configurations.

Samsung Galaxy A23 4G

The Samsung Galaxy A23 is the successor to last year’s Samsung Galaxy A22. The big difference between it and its predecessor is the screen. Where the Samsung Galaxy A22 featured a 6.4” 60Hz HD+ AMOLED panel, the Samsung Galaxy A23 comes with a 6.6” 60Hz FHD+ TFT LCD panel. 

Under the hood, the device runs on an unnamed octa-core processor with a base clock of 1.9GHz and a boost clock of 2.4GHz(Recent certifications mention the device running a Snapdragon 680). Keeping the lights on are its 5000mAh with upgraded 25W USB-C super fast charging support. The device runs on Samsung’s latest One UI 4.1 based on Android 12.

The device sports a quad-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro and depth sensors. The selfie camera houses an 8MP f/2.2 unit. You’ll find the fingerprint scanner on the power button to your right and a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

The device weighs 195g, with dimensions of 165.4 x 76.9 x 8.44 mm and its housing is made of Samsung’s polycarbonate “glasstic” material. The Galaxy A23 also features Gorilla Glass 5 at the front for enhanced durability. The phone comes in 4 pastel colours which are blue, peach, white and black.

It is available to be purchased in 4/6/8GB RAM + 64/128GB configurations.

Samsung mentions that the availability of both the Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 devices will be rolled out gradually across global markets in 2022, and RAM and storage configurations may differ between countries and regions across the globe.

We have been compiling top stories regularly for the past few weeks. This time we thought to do something different. As you guys seem to be more interested in our coverage of leaks and rumors, we thought to put them together. Hence, in this article, we talk about the top leaks and rumors from last week.

In the last few days, we reported on leaks and rumors surrounding the most-awaited smartphones from multiple OEMs. Let’s take at them one by one in no particular order.

Top Leaks and Rumors from Last Week

Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro to sport vivo-like design

We finally got to see the design of the upcoming Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro last week. Unfortunately, the new-gen Redmi K series phones will drop their unique design language in favor of a rear design inspired by vivo. This design was first introduced by the Xiaomi group on Xiaomi CIVI.

Thanks to TENAA, we also know the maximum available memory configuration of Redmi’s flagship smartphone lineup. The  Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the Redmi K50 Pro+ will max at 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB respectively.

POCO F4 GT specs leak confirm Redmi K50G rebrand

The key specs of the yet-to-release POCO F4 GT leaked last week. According to them, the device will be indeed a rebadged Redmi K50G, which is also known as Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.

This is not surprising as the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition debuted as POCO F4 GT in global markets. Most importantly, the Redmi K50G was already spotted at certification websites as Redmi K50G.

There may not be a Xiaomi 12 Lite but new CIVI series phones instead

Earlier last week, a report revealed that Xiaomi 12 Lite will be a fusion of Xioami CIVI and Xiaomi 12.  A day later, another report disclosed that Xiaomi CIVI Pro may launch soon with slightly better specs than the original Xiaomi CIVI. This device was originally supposed to release as Xiaomi 12 Lite Zoom.

A few days from that, a Xiaomi exec confirmed that there will be no Xioami 12 Lite in 2022. This means the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite could release as a Xiaomi CIVI series phone in China alongside the so-called Xiaomi CIVI Pro. But we cannot rule out the possibility of it launching under Xiaomi 12 Lite branding in international markets.

vivo may release a ‘Note’

The long-rumored vivo NEX 5 is now expected to go official as vivo X Note. A leak from last week not only disclosed the phone’s name but also some of its specs.

The device is said to arrive with a 7-inch QHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, Qualcomm  Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN1 primary camera, 48MP Sony IMX598 secondary camera, 12MP Sony IMX663 tertiary camera, and 8MP OmniVision OV08A10 quaternary camera with 5x optical zoom lens, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

Next-gen Samsung A series is just around the corner

The key features of the forthcoming Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galax A33 5G, and Galaxy A23 5G emerged last week. The details about their display, chipset, camera, battery, and charging leaked.

All four will sport an FHD+ high refresh rate display and a quad-camera system. Most of them will have a 5,000mAh battery and a couple of them will have 25W fast charging support, while the remaining two will be limited to 15W charging.

Interestingly, only one of them will feature a Qualcomm chipset. Whereas, two models will come with MediaTek SoCs and the remaining one will house an Exynos chip.

Cheapest 5G iPhone ever to release in a few days

According to a report from last week, the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 2022 is rumored to start at only $300. It will be $100 cheaper than its predecessor iPhone SE 2020.

Despite being more affordable, the latest model is expected to arrive with 5G connectivity, a new chipset, and better battery life. If this happens to be true, then It will release as the cheapest 5G iPhone to date.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy A23 4G smartphone soon in different markets. The device was previously spotted on Geekbench revealing its internals, and now, the phone was seen officially listed online.

The Samsung Galaxy A23 4G is currently up on the Samsung Russia website. The device has the model number SM-A235F/DSN. Unfortunately, there’s no detail to look forward to. But we do know that it will be a dual-SIM smartphone since it has the DS in its model number revealing its dual-SIM functionality.

In addition to this, the smartphone was also spotted on the Bluetooth SIG certification site. It has the model number SM-A235N and supports Bluetooth v5. Again, there’s nothing to discuss here.

The Samsung Galaxy A23 will come in two variants 4G only and the 5G model. The 4G model with model number SM-A235F was spotted on the Geekbench version 5 recently. The device scored 382 single-core points and 1612 multi-core points.

The smartphone is believed to have a Snapdragon 680 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM. We expect it to have 64GB or 128GB of base storage and more possible RAM variants. The device will run on Android 12 out of the box.

On the other hand, the Galaxy A23 5G was seen in CAD renders. The device has a 6.6-inch display and features a quad-camera setup. The primary camera on the phone will be a 50MP sensor. The device will have a side-facing fingerprint scanner for security.

Unfortunately, there is no information available on the specifications of the Galaxy A23 4G. Like the predecessor Galaxy A22, the A23 may ship with an OLED display and a big battery of around 5,000mAh capacity.

Recently, reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer teamed up with publication CollegeDunia to share the CAD renders of the Galaxy A23 5G.

Samsung is reportedly working on a couple of new A-series of smartphones such as Galaxy A23, Galaxy A33, Galaxy A53, and Galaxy A73. It is speculated that some of these phones may debut as early as at the end of this month or in March. A fresh leak courtesy of popular tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer and CollegeDunia reveals the entire design of the Galaxy A23 from all angles. The CAD renders suggests that its design will be similar to last year’s Galaxy A-series phones such as from last year.

Samsung Galaxy A23 5G renders 

The CAD renders of the Galaxy A23 5G reveal that it will be sporting a waterdrop notch display on the front with a thick chin.

The post Samsung Galaxy A23 5G CAD renders leaked, reveals familiar design appeared first on Gizmochina.

SK Hynix has been supplying image sensors to Samsung since 2019. The company has offered low-end sensors to the Galaxy A and M series so far. However, we haven’t seen a 50MP sensor from SK Hynix getting employed in any Galaxy phone so far. But now, this might change with the arrival of the upcoming Galaxy A23.

As per a report from TheElec, Samsung is planning to procure new 50MP sensors from SK Hynix. This particular 50MP sensor will be seen on the upcoming Galaxy A23 this year. To recall, the predecessor Galaxy A22 has a 48MP primary sensor. That being said, the 50MP SK Hynix lens on the A23 will be a step up.

The 50MP sensor on the Galaxy A23 will support Optical Image Stabilization(OIS). It will be accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide lens, and two 2MP sensors for macro and bokeh shots. So, a total of four cameras will be there on the back of the phone.

Samsung is expected to unveil the device in two versions – 4G LTE and 5G.

In terms of its launch, the publication reveals that the 4G LTE model will debut in Q1 of this year, while the 5G model is slated to debut in the second half of this year. Reportedly, Samsung is aiming to ship 17.1 million units of the 4G LTE model and 12.6 million units of the 5G version.

Samsung is gearing up to launch new Galaxy A series models in 2022. We have been learning about these devices for the past few days. A new report now sheds some details on the upcoming Galaxy A23.

According to GalaxyClub, Samsung will be releasing the successor of the Galaxy A22 in the form of Galaxy A23. Just like its predecessor, the newer handset will be available in both 4G and 5G variants.

The publication says that the smartphone will feature a 50MP primary camera. In case you do not know, the Galaxy A13 is also expected to come with the same camera.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the Galaxy A23. Hence, we are looking forward to learning more about the Galaxy A22’s successor in the form of leaks and certifications in the coming days.

The Samsung Galaxy A22 released this year comes in 4G and 5G models. The two variants of the device differ from each other in many aspects though they have a near-identical design and name.

The same could happen for the Galaxy A23, however, we don’t have any proof for it thus far. By value-wise, the 4G version of Galaxy A22 is a better phone overall. On the other hand, the Galaxy A22 5G sacrifices certain basic features for 5G connectivity.
