Last week a report claimed the phone that has been
leaked so far as Galaxy A90 would actually end up being part of an all-new
Galaxy R series of devices. And now it turns out that this stemmed from a
misunderstanding, basically some sources confused marketing names with internal
codenames.
So the Galaxy A90 is real after all. It's in
development, and coming (hopefully) soon. Alongside that clarification, we have
thankfully also received more information about the A90. There will be two models. The
SM-A905 will be the 4G version, with a 6.7-inch screen, an in-display
fingerprint sensor, and a triple rear camera setup with 48 MP + 12 MP + 5 MP
resolution and a mysterious exclusive feature called "Tilt OIS".
On the other hand, the SM-A908 will have 5G support,
the same screen (with the in-display fingerprint scanner), but a slightly
different 48 MP + 8 MP + 5 MP rear camera setup.
Perhaps the most important thing is that both of
these will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, marking the first time
ever when a Samsung A-series handset rocks the top of the line SoC of the day.
That could make for an interesting competitor to affordable flagships from
other companies.
