Samsung and SK Telecom have unveiled the Galaxy Wide5 smartphone in South Korea. It is a budget-friendly 5G phone that offers features like a big display, 64-megapixel triple cameras, large internal storage, and a big battery.

Samsung Galaxy Wide5 specifications and features

The Galaxy Wide5 (SM-E426S model number) has a 6.6-inch display that offers a Full HD+ resolution. The Infinity-V notch on the display houses a front camera of 8-megapixel. Its rear camera includes a 64-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel ultrawide lens with a 115-degree FOV, and a 2-megapixel depth assist lens.

The MediaTek Dimensity 700 is present under the hood of the Galaxy Wide5. It ships with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. For additional storage, it has a microSD card slot. The device runs on Android 11 OS.

The Wide5 is backed by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 15W fast charging. For security, it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The smartphone measures 167.2 x 76.4 x 9mm and weighs 203 grams.

Samsung Galaxy Wide5 price and availability

The Galaxy Wide5 is listed with a price tag of KRW 449,900 (~$385) on SK Telecom’s store. It comes in three colors such as black, white, and blue. The smartphone is available for purchase through online and offline stores of SK Telecom starting from today.

Before the launch of the Wide5, it was speculated that it could be rebranded version of the Galaxy A22 5G. As can be seen, the Wide5 differs from the A22 5G in departments like main camera and rear design. Samsung is expected to soon announce the Galaxy F42 5G (model number SM-E426B-DS) in India. Since the F42 5G’s model number is similar to the Wide5, it appears that the F42 5G could be a rebadged edition of the Wide5.

Three new upcoming Samsung budget 5G smartphones have been certified by Bluetooth SIG. The certification of these devices reveals them to be the same phone with different names. Let’s take a look at what handsets they are.

Earlier this month, Samsung announced the Galaxy A22 5G alongside the Galaxy A22 4G variant. The LTE model was recently certified by Bluetooth SIG as Galaxy F22. Now, a few days later, the 5G version has been listed by the same certification agency with three different names.

According to the updated Bluetooth certification (via SamMobile) of the Galaxy A22 5G, the device will be also launching as Galaxy Buddy (SM-A226L), Galaxy Wide5 (SM-E426S), and Galaxy F42 5G (SM-E426B).  Going by the names, the first two models should be exclusive to a specific carrier or region. 

For those unaware, just last month, Samsung launched a similarly named device called Galaxy Jump in South Korea. This phone is nothing but a rebranded Galaxy A32 5G in Red color. Hence, the Galaxy Buddy and the Galaxy Wide5 could sport a unique paint job instead of featuring regular Galaxy A22 5G colors.

Whereas, the Galaxy F42 5G could debut in markets like India where the Galaxy F series is exclusive to one of the two largest online retailers in the country – Flipkart.

Unfortunately, the launch dates of these three smartphones are a mystery. Anyway, we expect them to go official sooner than later.
