There have been several rumours about an A-Series flagship phone from Samsung. Likely to be called the Galaxy A90, the phone has been touted to sport a triple camera system. Adding to the rumours is the latest development, which claims that the phone will launch in two variants. Based on a tweet by known tipster Steve H.McFly (aka OnLeaks), the development mentions that the devices will bear SM-A905 and SM-A908 model numbers.
This also comes with two important details. First, the phone will not belong to the R-Series as mentioned before and will indeed be an A-Series handset. Second, this will be the first A-Series phone to come equipped with Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 855 chipset. This could make it a notable competitor in the affordable flagship segment that already has the OnePlus 7, Asus 6Z, Oppo Reno 10X Zoom and the upcoming Redmi K20 Pro.
According to OnLeaks, the SM-A905 will be a 4G version of the Galaxy A90 and will feature a 6.7-inch screen. The phone will also sport an in-display fingerprint sensor. As mentioned, the phone will a triple rear camera setup, and as per OnLeaks’ tweet, the module will have an 48MP sensor, 12MP camera and a 5MP sensor. The setup will reportedly be equipped with an exclusive feature called “Tilt OIS”, however, there are no details of what this tech does.
The SM-A908, on the other hand, will be a 5G handset. This means that the Snapdragon 855 processor will have Qualcomm’s 5G chip. The phone is said to feature that same display (with the in-display fingerprint scanner), but will have a slightly different camera configuration. It will reportedly have a 48MP sensor along with and 8MP one (instead of SM-A905’s 12MP sensor) and 5MP camera. Recently, a report claimed the Galaxy A90 5G could be Samsung’s most affordable flagship phone.
