Samsung Galaxy A90 5G has surfaced on Geekbench.

The listing confirms rumoured specifications of phone.

Samsung Galaxy A90 5G has surfaced on Geekbench, reaffirming rumours of the device being powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset. The phone sports a model number SM-A908N, which suggests flagship level specs like Snapdragon 855 SoC, 6GB RAM, and Android Pie. However, Samsung has never used flagship processor on a mid-range device before, but with the availability of 5G connectivity on flagship chips only, like the Exynos 9820 and Snapdragon 855, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Galaxy A90 5G comes with a flagship SoC under the hood.

Moreover, what’s slightly odd is the inclusion of 6GB RAM, since the Galaxy A80 was recently released with 8GB RAM. However, there is a possibility that the Galaxy A90 5G might come in two variants: one with 6GB RAM and the other with 8GB RAM. However, the presence of 5G could make it an expensive device, and as SamMobile claims, “offering options for storage and RAM would allow Samsung to keep the retail prices a bit more palatable.”

Other rumoured specifications of the handset include a 4,500 mAh battery, a 6.7 inch FHD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display and “exclusive tilt OS” technology, all of which might put the A90 5G close to flagship level pricing. The 4G variant (SM-A905) is expected to feature the same screen size but is rumoured to feature a higher resolution. The phone may also feature a triple camera setup with 48MP, 12MP, and 5MP sensors. However, it might not come with a slider design. While it could launch with Android 9 Pie onboard, the smartphone should get updated to Android Q after the launch.

As for the release date, the phone might be launched sometime after the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 goes official in early August. Stay tuned with Digit for more updates.
