Three new upcoming Samsung budget 5G smartphones have been certified by Bluetooth SIG. The certification of these devices reveals them to be the same phone with different names. Let’s take a look at what handset they are.
Earlier this month, Samsung announced the Galaxy A22 5G alongside the Galaxy A22 4G variant. The LTE model was recently certified by Bluetooth SIG as Galaxy F22. Now, a few days later, the 5G version has been listed by the same certification agency with three different names.
According to the updated Bluetooth certification (via SamMobile) of the Galaxy A22 5G, the device will be also launching as Galaxy Buddy (SM-A226L), Galaxy Wide5 (SM-E426S), and Galaxy F42 5G (SM-E426B). Going by the names, the first two models should be exclusive to a specific carrier or region.
For those unaware, just last month, Samsung launched a similarly named device called Galaxy Jump in South Korea. This phone is nothing but a rebranded Galaxy A32 5G in Red color. Hence, the Galaxy Buddy and the Galaxy Wide5 could sport a unique paint job instead of featuring regular Galaxy A22 5G colors.
Whereas, the Galaxy F42 5G could debut in markets like India where the Galaxy F series is exclusive to one of the two largest online retailers in the country – Flipkart. Unfortunately, the launch dates of these three smartphones are a mystery. Anyway, we expect them to go official sooner than later.
