Samsung Galaxy A90 5G leaks in retail packaging, will be its first mid-range 5G handset
Samsung first mid-range 5G-capable smartphone will be the Galaxy A90. The new device will be an important device for the company as it looks to take 5G technology downstream in the hope of boosting its sales.
Samsung is making good on its promise to boost the appeal of its mid-range smartphone line to help offset weaker demand for its flagship devices in recent times. The strategy to bring key flagship features to its mid-range handsets over the past 12 months has helped has been paying off with recent data showing it is still the number 1 smartphone vendor globally.
The Galaxy A90 5G centers on a 6.7-inch 20:9 Super AMOLED Infinity-U display with teardrop notch and a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels for a 393 ppi density. The rear packaging shows an unspecified octa-core chip matched (possibly a Snapdragon 855) with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard but expandable storage. The front-facing camera is rated at 32 MP while the rear triple camera array incorporates a 48 MP sensor, a 5 MP sensor and an 8 MP sensor at various focal lengths. It also features 25 W fast-charging.
Given the depth and nature of the leaks, we think it is reasonable to expect a full reveal at IFA this week.

I have been writing about consumer technology over the past ten years, previously with the former MacNN and Electronista, and now Notebookcheck since 2017. My first computer was an Apple ][c and this sparked a passion for Apple, but also technology in general. In the past decade, I’ve become increasingly platform agnostic and love to get my hands on and explore as much technology as I can get my hand on. Whether it is Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, Nintendo, Xbox, or PlayStation, each has plenty to offer and has given me great joy exploring them all. I was drawn to writing about tech because I love learning about the latest devices and also sharing whatever insights my experience can bring to the site and its readership.
