A new Samsung has just popped up on
Geekbench with model name SM-A750FN. The handset is yet to be announced, but
the listing reveleased some of its key specs.
The phone was sporting the Exynos 7885 SoC that has
two performance cores at 2.2 GHz and six more for efficiency at 1.6 GHz. The
RAM on the SM-A750FN is 4 GB and the phone is listed with Android Oreo 8.0.
These specs match the Galaxy A8+ (2018), suggesting the new phone might be
different in some other aspects like screen size or camera.
The Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) carries the SM-A730xx
model designation, while its predecessor Galaxy A7 (2017) was going by
SM-A720xx. Given how the number 4 is considered unlucky in Korea, the SM-A750FN
is the logical successor of the Galaxy A8 series. The SM-A750FN might be called
Galaxy A9 (2018) but might also be an addition to the A8 lineup for specific
markets.
