Samsung Galaxy A90 5G leaks in retail packaging, will be its first mid-range 5G handset

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.
