Samsung’s A-series telephones do not get the excitement that their S-series flagships do, however they’re best-sellers. Samsung simply introduced that the subsequent A-series telephone announcement will come on Thursday, March 17 at 10 a.m. ET, on its web site.
Excessive-end smartphones get numerous buzz and make numerous revenue per unit, however within the Android world, midrange is the place the quantity is. The price range Samsung Galaxy A12 was the best-selling Android telephone on the planet in 2021, based on Counterpoint, and the Galaxy A32 5G is usually among the many most-read telephone evaluations right here on PCMag. IDC cited the A12 and A32 particularly as having a serious function within the development of chipmaker MediaTek right here within the US.
Within the US, we at present have the A03, A12, A13, A20, A32, A42 and A52. Different fashions can be found in different international locations. Many of the different numbers will most likely flip to A?Three this yr, however by far essentially the most anticipated one is the A33.
Rumors a few world A33 do not fairly ring true for me, although. Most notably, GSMArena says the A33 will use a Samsung Exynos processor, the place I believe that within the US they’re much extra more likely to run a MediaTek Dimensity, just like the profitable A32.
Different adjustments from the A32 aren’t very clear as of but. I am hoping that the A32 will assist AT&T’s new 3.45GHz 5G community, however that is not going, as Android Police’s Dan Bader came upon that the three.45GHz spectrum requires very new modems.
One factor is evident, although: Samsung must maintain a deal with on the worth. The A13 to date has been criticized for costing $70 greater than the A12, and with Motorola’s dynamic G sequence on the market, in addition to upcoming new OnePlus Nord telephones, Samsung wants to ensure it stays aggressive.
We’ll have extra on the brand new Samsung A-series telephones on Thursday.
