Samsung Galaxy A5 And Its Infinity Display Leaked

There have been multiple reports that Samsung’s flagship feature, the Infinity Display will trickle down to its mid-range devices in 2018. The Galaxy A series is Samsung’s mid-range lineup which has always boasted of some good specifications and camera performances. The Galaxy A5 (2018) will apparently sport a bezel-less display as well and new leaked images reveal just that.

One of the main concerns for future Galaxy A5 suitors has to be the fingerprint sensor. Not the quality of it, but, the placement. From the leaked images, it appears that Samsung seems to have fixed that issue. On the Galaxy A5 2018, the fingerprint sensor will be placed below the single camera lens.

Another interesting thing to note in the images is that isolated button on the left side of the phone just below the volume rockers. It seems like the infamous Bixby button will also trickle down to the mid-rangers. Upon its release, the AI assistant from Samsung received a lot of flak for being a less useful version of Google Assistant and a hardware button on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note8 dedicated to Bixby was a clear push by the company. A few days after the launch of the Galaxy S8 and S8+, Samsung even stopped the remapping of the button.

The Galaxy A5 (2018) will probably officially launch in January, along with the Galaxy A7 (2018). It should sport the Exynos 7885 SoC or the Snapdragon 660 (depending on market). The device could have either 4GB or 6GB of RAM along with expandable storage. While Android 8.0 Oreowas officially released back in August, don’t be surprised if the two phones launching in 2018 will still run Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Samsung has been doing well at the ongoing Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. While launching gadgets at the international platform, the South Korean multinational firm hasn’t forgotten the Indian subcontinent and announced their two latest models in the Indian subcontinent. Samsung today launched the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 in India. Both the smartphones were introduced by the company late last year.

The Galaxy A3 is priced at Rs. 20,500 and sports a mid-range specifications. The phone flaunts a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED qHD display and is powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor. It packs 1.5 GB of RAM and the internal storage capacity of 16 GB that can be expanded up to 64 GB. The device houses a battery of 1,900mAh and the rear snapper of 8 MP along with a 5 MP front shooter.

The Galaxy A5 costs Rs. 25,500 and packs relatively higher-end hardware. With a 5-inch Super AMOLED HD display, the device is powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor. Stuffing 2 GB of RAM onto the device, the phone gets its juice from a 2,300mAh battery. It has a 13MP rear end camera along with a 5MP front end camera.

Both the models have front cameras with 120-degree wide range angle and features support for palm and voice gestures. The smartphones have full metallic body and are comparatively thinner.

Dual-SIM Galaxy A5 Shows Up on Samsung’s China Website

Galaxy A5 dual-SIM variant has now been listed on Samsung’s China website. The Korean manufacturer did not announce the variant during the unveiling of the single-SIM metal-clad Galaxy A5 last month, alongside the Galaxy A3. Apart from the dual Nano-SIM support, it packs the same internals and features as of the single-SIM Galaxy A5.

Samsung said that it will launch the Galaxy A5 beside the Galaxy A3 this month. Though, now it seems that the A5 will launch before the A3. The Korean manufacturer hasn’t yet listed the Galaxy A3 on the company website as yet, but we can expect a dual-SIM version down the line just like the Galaxy A5.

Earlier, there were reports that the rollout of the Galaxy A series has been delayed due to production woes for the full metal-clad bodies. Though, it will still be launched in ‘select markets’ including China this month. It is also believed that Samsung planned a Q3 launch for both. However, Samsung coping with the production of metal casing for its first-ever full metal-clad unibody designed smartphones, had to push the announcement to Q4. The report also mentioned that the metal casings did not meet the quality benchmark the Korean giant was looking for, with around 50 percent of the yield coming out right.

Surprisingly, there is no mention of the A7 anywhere that was announced alongside the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5.

It is said that the new Galaxy A series is directly targeted at Xiaomi, which has consumed Samsung’s market share considerably in the last two quarters. It’s only catering to the Asian continent with shipments being three times more since last year, only lagging behind Samsung and Apple.
