The latest and probably most high-end,
if numbers are anything to go by, addition to the Galaxy A line should be
arriving shortly. After a quick stop overt at Geekbench last month, the Galaxy
A90 was then certified by the Wi-Fi alliance. Now the phone was spotted getting
greenlit from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) as well, hinting at an
imminent launch.
Probably the more interesting bit,
though, is the fact that two distinct variants of the Galaxy A90 are listed on
the Bluetooth SIG site - SM-A908N and SM-A908B. Coincidentally, the latter
number matches the Wi-Fi alliance document we reported on earlier, giving more
credibility to the info that a 5G and regular 4G version of the A90 will,
indeed, exist. Unfortunately, beyond that and the fact that the phones will
have Bluetooth 5.0, the new certificates offer little info.
As far as we currently know, the Galaxy
A90 will be based around the Snapdragon 855 chipset, along with 6GB of RAM.
This likely goes for both the 5G and the 4G variant, although there could be
some slight differences in RAM and storage between the two as well. In fact,
rumors currently hint at different cameras for the two variants, with 5G allegedly
getting a 48 MP + 12 MP + 5 MP setup and its 4G sibling - a 48MP+8MP+5MP array.
Again, not too much of a major difference. Beyond this, both phones are
expected to pack hefty 4,400 mAh batteries and use the same 6.7-inch Infinity-U
Super AMOLED displays with FHD+ resolutions. Hence, the earlier rumors of a
Galaxy A80-style motorized selfie camera appears to be put to rest.
