With headlines almost taken by flagship smartphones, we sometimes forget that Samsung Galaxy A series is very much alive. If I could be brutally honest, the A series, like so many non-flagship devices we have featured here, is, well, just another device.
But that does not mean the A series is any lesser. OK. It is lesser, both in specs and pricing, but you get what I mean.
Anyways, you can expect features like quad-camera setup with 64 MP main camera, 4K videoing, 8 MP high-resolution images with 4K Video Snap, OIS, Night mode, up to 120 Hz Super AMOLED display, 800 nits brightness, Eye Care certified display, IP67 rated construction, built-in Samsung Knox, up to 2-day battery life, 5G connectivity, stereo speakers and more.
Here’s the rundown of the key specifications of each device:
