Galaxy A

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series broke covers a week ago. Besides bringing hardware upgrades, the new devices also enjoy AI wizardry. Specifically, the lineup introduced Galaxy AI, which is also expected to roll out to old Galaxy phones. But not many will get it.

In principle, both the Magic Editor in Google Photos, which has been available since the Pixel 8, and the new Generative Editor in the Gallery app of the new Galaxy S24 series offer very similar functionality. However, one important difference makes the subsequent editing of images on the Galaxy S24 much more convenient, as demonstrated by a tester on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Samsung has now detailed the countless AI features that it plans to begin shipping next with the Galaxy S24 series under its 'Galaxy AI' banner in a new set of videos. Functionality with dedicated videos includes Live Translate, as well as Chat Assist, Note Assist, Transcript Assist and Circle to Search.

The successor to the Galaxy A34 5G is almost here. While Samsung has not communicated anything official yet, the Galaxy A35 5G has now turned up on Geekbench sporting a significantly more powerful chipset than the one that powers its predecessor.

(Update 2: More leaked Unboxing-photos and promos confirm additional features) Samsung might copy Google and increase update support to seven years starting with the Galaxy S24 series, according to reliable sources this weekend. Further promo images have also been leaked, advertising some camera and AI features, whereas the latter might cost extra down the road.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 series is set to make its grand debut later this month at Unpacked. Ahead of that, however, a new leak has now revealed details of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset that will power the flagship phones in certain regions.

In the USA, Samsung is proactively marketing the new zoom functions that Samsung's Galaxy AI will offer, with leakers providing a few examples. For example, the 10x zoom will supposedly deliver better quality than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, despite the 5x telephoto. Meanwhile, buyers can inspect Samsung's official range of accessories at an accessories shop, such as protective cases in a number of variants and colors.

Official press images for the Samsung Galaxy A55 have now surfaced online in three colours. All prefixed with 'Awesome', the Iceblue, Lilac and Navy options all have aluminium frames and build on the designs of recent Galaxy A models like the Galaxy A25.

The big Galaxy Unpacked launch event for the Galaxy S24, the Galaxy S24+ and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is official. In around two weeks, Samsung will present its next-generation flagship smartphones with an increased focus on AI features, as the announcement clearly indicates.

New benchmark leaks have identified the Galaxy A55, Samsung's apparent testbed for the Exynos 1480 chipset. Helped along by 8 GB of RAM, the Exynos 1480 has 8 CPU cores and the Xclipse 530, a GPU that utilises AMD's RDNA 2 architecture.

Samsung has quietly introduced the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A15 5G, a pair of smartphones that serve as cheaper options compared to the Galaxy A25 5G that it also recently announced. The Galaxy A15 series should receive a global launch eventually, although it remains a Vietnamese exclusive for now.

Samsung has now kicked off its next series of Galaxy A series smartphones. While its Galaxy S series remains on Galaxy S23 models, the company is already selling the Galaxy A25 5G in some markets, which is more of an evolved Galaxy A24 4G than a complete device overhaul.

Samsung's next mid-range smartphone has been spotted in several retailer leaks. Listed on Digitec in Switzerland, the Galaxy A25 5G will be available in under two weeks' time with three launch colours. The same retailer has confirmed all key device specifications before launch day, too.

Samsung is now rolling out One UI 6 to another half-a-dozen devices. New devices eligible for Android 14 upgrades include the Galaxy S21 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, as well as three more Galaxy A handsets.

Full specifications for one of Samsung's next Galaxy A smartphones have appeared online, courtesy of a reliable leaker. The leak leaves little to the imagination for the Galaxy A25 5G, which may not be available until the first week of January 2024 despite rumours of a launch later this month.

Samsung's upcoming mid-range, the Galaxy A55, will supposedly use an Exynos 1480 SoC with an AMD GPU. Otherwise, it is essentially identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy A54.

The European smartphone market shrank by 11% in the third quarter of 2023. The big losers were Realme, Samsung and Xiaomi. Apple's iPhone sales fell only slightly. Honor was the only smartphone manufacturer to record growth.

The Galaxy A05 sticks with a dual rear camera hump in 2023 - nevertheless, it still packs a 50MP main shooter, and also manages to retain expandable storage for all its high-res snaps on top of that. Then again, Samsung's new ultra-budget smartphone packs an unprepossessing display and SoC combination.

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy A15 appears to be imminent, as US shopping giant Walmart has recently listed the mid-range smartphone, revealing not only the new design in chic blue, but also the most important specs, including a 50 MP triple camera and 5000 mAh battery.

Samsung has stepped up the pace with its One UI 6 rollout. Having issued a new release schedule earlier this week, the company has now started upgrading the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra to its Android 14-based OS. Stable One UI 6 updates are now available for the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy M33, the second and third mid-range devices to move up from One UI 5 builds.

With the Galaxy A35 5G, Samsung is apparently finally giving one of its most popular mid-range smartphones a more modern design, replacing the notch with a punch hole, making the screen edges flatter, and revising the frame in several ways.

According to new leaks, Samsung will launch the successor to the Galaxy A24 4G in less than a month. Rumoured to arrive in three colours as the Galaxy A25 5G, the handset is expected to feature a 120 Hz AMOLED display, among other hardware improvements.

The prospect of the Samsung Galaxy A25's launch has attracted attention as the event is thought to unveil a new 5G smartphone with decent specs at a relatively low price. Now, a leaks blog purports to reveal exactly how cheap it is going to be, and how much RAM/storage the potential buyer might expect to get for their money.

Geekbench has outlined various specifications for the Galaxy xCover7, Samsung's next rugged smartphone. Surprisingly, the Galaxy xCover7 will have a less powerful chipset than the outgoing Galaxy xCover6 Pro, which it will share with the upcoming Galaxy A15 5G.

The A25 5G might launch toward the lower end of the new mid-range Samsung smartphone spectrum, yet is thought to be interesting as it might sport some of the OEM's latest design refinements. Now, a new tip purports to confirm that rumor, as well as others that hint at how up to date its SoC and color choices are going to be.

Samsung has revealed that over 30 devices will soon receive their first One UI 6 stable updates. Based on Android 14, One UI 6 will reach Galaxy A, Galaxy Z and Galaxy S smartphones, plus one Galaxy Tab tablet.

The Samsung Galaxy A15 has now surfaced on Geekbench, a few days after a leaker outlined various details about the upcoming handset. Not only does Geekbwnch appear to confirm which chipset underpins the Galaxy A14 successor, but it also reveals its launch Android version and minimum RAM configuration.

More evidence that the next generation of Samsung's Galaxy A series is ready to go has emerged. It is believed to launch as the most direct successor to one of its most affordable 5G variants of 2022, and has reportedly just been approved for sale in India, thereby hinting that the alleged Android 14 device's first launch event will be held in the same country soon.

With Galaxy AI, Samsung aims to offer the most comprehensive artificial intelligence available on any smartphone and, among other things, translate phone calls in foreign languages to break down language barriers. Samsung's AI offensive will kick off at the beginning of 2024, apparently alongside the Galaxy S24.

Samsung is likely still a few months away from releasing a Galaxy A24 successor. Nonetheless, the Samsung Galaxy A25 has already been certified for sale in the US, with the FCC revealing a few specifications in the process. Official images of the upcoming mid-range smartphone have now surfaced too.

Various specifications for the Galaxy A15 5G have turned up online. Purportedly, Samsung will equip the Galaxy A15 5G with a mid-range MediaTek chipset, among other hardware. Pricing for the Galaxy A15 5G has leaked too.

This year, Samsung released the Galaxy A14 and Galaxy A14 5G with PLS LCD panels. Reportedly, Samsung will impart a major display upgrade for their successors, the launch of which is likely only a few months away.

The Samsung Galaxy A15 has been said to launch as one of 2024's most affordable new smartphones. Now, it is projected to land as a more up-to-date, yet more compact, handset compared to its predecessor, although its battery capacity might remain the same. It is also thought to land alongside a slightly more premium 5G-capable variant on its debut.

The Galaxy A05s is one of the newest and also cheapest Android smartphones from Samsung around. Now, it is reportedly on the way to India with a launch event scheduled for later in October 2023. Its RAM options for this country have leaked out in advance, however, which explains the attractive feature mentioned in its first official poster for its new market.

Samsung has now introduced the Galaxy A05 and Galaxy A05s, two successors to the Galaxy A04. Arriving with different SoCs and display resolutions, the pair share 5,000 mAh batteries, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of expandable storage and 50 MP primary cameras.

The Galaxy A05s is thought to launch as one of Samsung's cheapest new smartphones of 2024. Now, according to a new tip, potential customers might have an idea of what to expect for their money already. That specs list now includes a well-worn 4G/LTE-only Qualcomm processor, a screen of decent resolution and an amount of RAM that could be described as moderate at best.

According to early reports, Samsung is already developing a follow-up to the Galaxy A54. Reportedly, while Samsung will equip the Galaxy A55 with a 50 MP primary camera, along with an Exynos 1480 chipset that could contain an AMD-based GPU.

Early renders for the Samsung Galaxy A15 have surfaced online before the device's official release. Sporting a new frame, Samsung's decision to meld the design languages of its Galaxy A and Galaxy S series suggests that the Galaxy A15 could resemble next year's Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus too.

Samsung is preparing to release a follow-up to the Galaxy A04s. Dubbed the Galaxy A05s, the handset is expected to arrive later this year with a familiar design that retains its predecessor's triple camera layout. However, Samsung has made tweaks in a few areas, bringing the Galaxy A05s up to date with its latest design language.

The Samsung Galaxy A24 5G has failed to emerge alongside its 4G/LTE counterpart in 2023 thus far. Despite that, it apparently has a successor lurking around on Geekbench already. Its model number definitely indicates membership of the upcoming A25 series, although its specs are those of a current mid-range smartphone - except for the upgrade to Android 14, of course.

The Samsung Galaxy A04s is a triple rear camera smartphone with a 5,000mAh battery, despite launching without 5G in 2023. To say that the same may not be said for its upcoming predecessor might be a considerable understatement, according to the latest leaks emanating from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They hint at a significant re-design for the A05s that takes every relatively premium perk afforded its forebear away - except for one.

Rumors of a direct Samsung Galaxy A04 successor may have just been augmented by a new addition to the Geekbench 6 database. The alleged 4G/LTE-only handset may be destined for next year's Android smartphone market, yet still has specs one might barely expect to persist in a 2024 mobile device, regardless of how cheap.

The Galaxy A14 is Samsung's entry-level model of the A series. The device is available in a 5G and a 4G version, with the smartphones not only differing in terms of the communication technology but also the processor. We took a closer look at the 4G smartphone.

Samsung seems nearly ready to move on in terms of its budget Android smartphone offerings already, with a Galaxy A05 apparently poised to take over from the A04 soon. A device by this name has shown up on an independent testing database even though it has yet to launch, suggesting that it might be ready to lead a new generation of Galaxy A handsets into 2024.

A reliable leaker has shared renders and dimensions of the Galaxy A25 5G, one of Samsung's next entry-level Galaxy A series smartphones. With next to visual changes from the current Galaxy A24 4G, it appears that Samsung plans to stick with its established design language for at least another generation.

The Galaxy A14 has joined its 5G-capable namesake on Samsung's Indian website. It has launched as a very budget-friendly new Android smartphone in that market, withprice of even less than its 2022 predecessor. However, it is an 'early-bird' offer only available for a limited time.

In our review, the Galaxy A14 5G proved to be a good introductory smartphone. But in the past, the 5G standard would have to have been acquired with some compromises compared to the LTE version. Now, this is not the case - with a few exceptions.
