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.

Samsung has applied to trademark the word “Couphone” in Europe. This means that we may get to see new products from the Korean giant with the Couphone branding.

The documents submitted at the European Union Intellectual Property Office shows that the trademark is for a variety of devices. Based on the class it falls under, it may include tablets, smartphones, and their accessories such as cables, headsets and earphones, flip-cases, docking stations etc.

Some guesses have surfaced regarding what couphone may refer to. One says “cou” is French for neck, thus it may have to do with wearables worn around the neck. So these may include wireless headsets, possibly one with an AI assistant like the Pixel Buds.

Samsung entered into the digital assistant space with Bixby this year and it is working on a smart speaker that will be powered by the AI assistant. So there is a possibility that it may want to add wireless headphones to the mix. The 2nd Gen Gear IconX wireless earbuds already supports Bixby, so these may be under the Samsung-U Flex line.
