Samsung recently announced the Galaxy A02s and according to recent rumors, the company is looking to launch an even lower-end smartphone called Galaxy A02. A Geekbench listing reveals that such a phone is indeed in the works.
The score sheet shows a phone with model
number SM-A022F, which perfectly aligns with the A-series naming scheme. The
Galaxy A02s, for example, is SM-A025F/DS/G/M depending on the region so this
might be the even lower-end vanilla A02 we are talking about here.
The limited amount of specs provided back
up the theory. The chipset is as MediaTek MT6739WW, which houses a quad-core
CPU with Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.5 GHz based on the 28nm manufacturing
process. This is a 2017 SoC of lower power than the Snapdragon 450 (14nm).
The memory configurations will start from
2GB of RAM as opposed to 3GB on the A02s. Lastly, the phone will launch with
Android 10 out of the box, which isn't a big surprise given that this is one of
the most affordable Samsung devices.
