A month ago, we exclusively leaked the official renders of Samsung’s Galaxy A25 5G. We followed up with its key specs a few days later. The phone has since been subject to many other leaks and certification listings. Now, the official marketing materials for the device have surfaced online, hinting at an imminent launch.
A major leak bares it all about the Galaxy A25 5G
X user @MysteryLupin recently shared what appear to be slides from Samsung’s official marketing materials for the Galaxy A25 5G. The slides feature the phone’s renders in multiple colors. They detail its specs and dimensions, with one photo providing us with a tentative launch timeline as well.
For starters, the new mid-range phone has a flat back with three cameras aligned vertically in the top left corner. There is no camera bump, a design choice by Samsung seen on every Galaxy phone launched this year. The frame is flat too, save for a small raised and curved portion on the right side to accommodate the power and volume buttons. Samsung’s other 2024 A-series handsets are rumored to feature a similar design.
The power button is recessed, confirming a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy A25 5G. The handset measures 161.0×76.5×8.3mm in dimension (excluding the width of the raised portion). The screen has a U-shaped notch and a thick bottom bezel. The overall design looks fairly mid-range-ish from the front but there’s hardly any differentiation from premium phones on the back.
As far as specs are concerned, we are getting Samsung’s Exynos 1280 5nm SoC with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The device lets you expand storage space with Micro SD cards of up to 1TB capacity. The 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display has 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, 1,000 nits of peak brightness, and Vision Booster support. The 5,000mAh battery charges at up to 25W speed.
Coming to the cameras, the Galaxy A25 5G has a 50MP primary shooter with OIS (optical image stabilization). It is paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens, 2MP macro camera, and 13MP selfie camera. Other rumored specs include IP67 dust and water resistance, NFC, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Android 14-based One UI 6.0 software experience. The device should get updates up to Android 18. It may cost around $300 at launch.
Samsung might soon launch the new A-series mid-range phone
Samsung has yet to announce a launch date for the Galaxy A25 5G. An earlier leak hinted at a mid-December unveiling of the device but there’s no confirmation yet. Meanwhile, one of the slides we have today says it is arriving in January 2024. The slide in question features an erroneous rendering of the device and also mentions Android 13-based One UI 5.1 software, so it may not be accurate. We will let you know when we have more information.
