The Samsung Galaxy A82 5G is in the news for a while now. This smartphone is said to be nothing but a rebadged Galaxy Quantum2 without the QRNG(Quantum Random Number Generator) chip for the global markets. The original device made its debut in South Korea in mid-April. Now, half a month later, the Galaxy A82 5G appears on a Samsung official website revealing a key detail about it.

The unreleased Galaxy A82 5G has been listed on the Samsung Mobile security page. According to it, this smartphone will be only eligible for quarterly security updates, just like the Galaxy A72.

It is bizarre why Samsung is only providing quarterly security updates for the Galaxy A72 and the forthcoming Galaxy A82 5G as the cheaper Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G are eligible for monthly security updates.

We could not guess of any possible reason for this move. Only Samsung could explain this but we don’t think we will ever get an explanation from the South Korean tech giant.

Anyway, as far as specs are concerned, the upcoming Galaxy A82 5G will feature a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 64MP (OIS, wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) triple camera setup, and a 10MP selfie camera with auto-focus.

Other features of this phone will include a MicroSD card slot, in-screen fingerprint sensor, IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, One UI 3.x based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, and 25W fast charging.

The back of the handset will house a vertically-aligned 64MP (wide, OIS) + 12MP (ultrawide) + 5MP (macro) triple camera setup. Other features of this smartphone include Samsung Pay with MST, IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, Dolby Atmos speakers, One UI 3.x based on Android 11, 4,500mAh battery, and 25W fast charging.

Recent reports have revealed that Samsung is working on the Galaxy A82 smartphone. It was recently spotted at Geekbench benchmarking site and in the database of Bluetooth SIG authority. Now the handset has appeared at the Google Play Console (via. Mukul Sharma) to reveal its front design and a few specs.

The Galaxy A82’s image in its Google Play Console listing reveals that it has a punch-hole screen. It is unclear whether it is a placeholder image or an official render of the phone.

The Play Console listing reveals that the Galaxy A82 is powered Qualcomm’s SM8150P chipset. This model number confirms that the A82 is powered by the Snapdragon 855+. The Geekbench listing of the phone had revealed that it has 4 GB of RAM. The Play Console appearance reveals that it could be also available in a 6 GB RAM variant.

The Galaxy A82 supports a screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and 450ppi screen density. The device is preinstalled with Android 11 OS. Its appearance at Bluetooth SIG had revealed that it carries support for Bluetooth 5.0.

The Galaxy A82 is expected to replace the Galaxy A80 which debuted with a slide-up rotating camera design back in 2019. A recent report claimed that the smartphone will be sporting a Sony IMX686 64-megapixel primary camera. Reputed tipster Evan Blass had recently claimed that the A82 is equipped with a “dual-use” camera. Hence, it is advisable to wait for further reports to know whether the A82 will feature a slide-up rotating camera like its predecessor. While the phone is expected to debut around mid-2021, there is no new information on its launch date.

Samsung is reportedly working on the Galaxy A82 smartphone. Recently, the smartphone was spotted at Bluetooth SIG and Geekbench’s database. The handset will be succeeding the Galaxy A80, which came with a slide-up rotating camera module as one of its major features. The Galaxy A82 is also expected to arrive with an innovative camera module. Now, German publication GalaxyClub.nl has shared important information about the main camera of the A82.

According to the publication, the Galaxy A82’s camera setup will be featuring a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 lens and not a Samsung ISOCELL GW2/1 sensor. There is no information on the auxiliary cameras of the A82. It is unclear whether the smartphone is equipped with a slide-out camera as its predecessor.

Also, it appears that the device could be aimed towards the South Korean market, and not the European market now. It is said to be equipped with a Quantum Random Number Generator chip for better data encryption.

Past reports have revealed that the Galaxy A82 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 855 or Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 4 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS. The Bluetooth SIG listing of the phone only revealed that it is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0.

The Samsung Galaxy A80 that debuted in 2019 came with specifications like a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a New Infinity notch-less design, Snapdragon 730G chipset, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, and a 3,700mA battery with 25W rapid charging support. The camera module of the A80 comprised of a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a ToF 3D sensor.

Samsung Galaxy A82 bags Bluetooth certification, launching soon?

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 08:17:49 +0000

Samsung is reportedly working on a new A-series smartphone called the Galaxy A82. Last week, the handset was spotted at the Geekbench’s database. Now, the handset has received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority (via).

The Bluetooth SIG listing states that the Galaxy A82 5G moniker is associated with model number SM-826S. The same variant was spotted at Geekbench in the previous week. The Bluetooth certification reveals that the handset supports Bluetooth 5.0 with LE (Low Energy). No other specifications can be found mentioned in the listing.

The Galaxy A82’s Geekbench appearance revealed that it could be powered by the Snapdragon 855 or Snapdragon 855+ chipset that fueled flagship phones back in 2019. The listing also revealed that the phone has 4 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS. Devices are known for going official around a month after appearing at Bluetooth SIG. Hence, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A82 may go official at some points in the coming month.

The Galaxy A82 will be succeeding the Snapdragon 730G powered Galaxy A80 handset that debuted back in April 2019. While the SD855/855+ chip is old, it is certainly an upgrade as compared to the predecessor model. The major attraction of the A80 was that it sported a notch-less screen and a swivel rear camera module. It remains to be seen whether the Galaxy A82 continues to sport the same design.

The Galaxy A80 came with specs like a 6.7-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ display, an in-screen fingerprint reader, a 3,700mAh battery with 25W fast charging support, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in storage, and a rear camera system featuring a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a TOF 3D lens.

Samsung Galaxy A82 appears on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 855 processor

The Galaxy A80 launched in 2019 as Samsung’s first full-screen device with no notch or punch hole. It was able to achieve this by adopting a slider+ rotating camera design. There have been reports of a successor that will launch as the Galaxy A82, and now it has been spotted on Geekbench with an old but powerful processor.

Multiple benchmark results of the upcoming device, first spotted by Ankit, have appeared on Geekbench under the name “samsung SM-A826S”. The scores are similar and all of the results show that the phone’s processor (motherboard) is “msmnile” a.k.a. the Snapdragon 855, Qualcomm’s 2019 flagship processor. This is definitely an upgrade from the Snapdragon 730G which made its debut in the Galaxy A80 but the fact is that it is a two-year-old flagship chipset.

Actually, we should not be too surprised as Samsung has shown more than a few times already that it is comfortable with using chipsets from its flagships a few years ago for newer devices. The recently launched Galaxy F62 is an example as it uses the Exynos 9825 processor that powered the Galaxy Note10. Another example is the Galaxy Note 10 Lite which launched in early 2020 but uses the Exynos 9810 processor found inside the Galaxy S9 from 2018.

Our guess is that Samsung probably has a lot of these old chipsets in stock and the best way to get rid of them is to ship them with new devices.

The Geekbench result shows that the Galaxy A82 will run Android 11 out of the box and have 6GB of RAM. While we know that the Snapdragon 855 doesn’t have a built-in 5G modem, earlier reports have revealed that the Galaxy A82 will have 5G support. This means that it will have a separate 5G modem just like other 5G phones powered by the same chipset.

Samsung is expected to launch the phone in a few months but we expect more details including its design to surface before an official announcement.

Will the Samsung Galaxy A82 resurrect the slider design once again?

Habeeb Onawole — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 02:55:17 +0000

2018 and 2019 might be remembered as the year slider phones made a brief comeback. One of the phones with a slider design announced during this period is the Galaxy A80. Now it has been reported that a successor, called the Galaxy A82, is coming and the big question is if it will bring back the slider design.

Samsung Galaxy A80

The Galaxy A82 was first heard of in early 2020 when Samsung applied for a trademark for a bunch of Galaxy A smartphones, some of which have already launched. It has been reported that the phone will have 5G support. However, there is no information about how it looks, so we do not know if it will keep the slider + rotating camera design of the Galaxy A80.

The Galaxy A80 launched with a 6.7-inch FHD+ display that didn’t have a notch or hole in the screen. Its sliding + rotating mechanism allowed for the triple rear cameras to slide upwards and then rotate to double as the front-facing cameras.

The phone also packed a Snapdragon 730G processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and 48MP+8MP+TOF triple rear cameras. It launched with a 3700mAh battery capacity with support for 25W fast wired charging.

Since the Galaxy A82 chipset will have 5G, it should come with a 5G chipset from Samsung, MediaTek, or Qualcomm; though our guess is that it will be powered by a Snapdragon chipset. We expect the phone to pack a bigger battery capacity than its predecessor and run Android 11 out of the box.

The Galaxy A82 is expected to be announced during or after summer, so there is still a bit of waiting to do. We expect more details to surface as time goes on. Nevertheless, please let us know in the comment box if you will like the phone to bring back the slider design of its predecessor or if you prefer the current punch hole trend.
