Samsung is preparing to launch its next-generation budget smartphone, the Galaxy A15, in both 4G and 5G variants in Europe, according to a report by GalaxyClub. The Samsung Galaxy A15 4G will have model code SM-A155F, while the 5G version will have model designation SM-A156B. The report also corroborates previous rumors of the Galaxy A15 featuring a 5,000 mAh battery, a 6.4-inch 90Hz LCD display, and a 50MP primary camera.
Galaxy A15 4G to sport Helio G99 chipset and Android 14
The Samsung Galaxy A15 4G was spotted on Geekbench a few weeks ago with the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, 4GB RAM, and Android 14. The Helio G99 is a gaming-oriented chipset that offers improved performance and graphics over the Helio G95 found in the Galaxy A14 4G. The Galaxy A15 4G is expected to run on One UI 4.0 based on Android 14, which will bring new features and improvements to the Samsung software experience.
Galaxy A15 5G to have different model numbers for different regions
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G will have different model numbers for different regions, according to the report. The European version will have model number SM-A156B, while the Asian and US versions will have model numbers SM-A156E and SM-A156U, respectively. It is not clear what chipset will power the Galaxy A15 5G, but it could be either the Snapdragon 480 or the Exynos 880, both of which support sub-6GHz 5G networks.
Galaxy A15 to pack a large battery and a high refresh rate display
The report also confirms that the Galaxy A15 will pack a large 5,000 mAh battery (EB-BA156ABY), which could support 15W fast charging like the Galaxy A14 series. The battery capacity is the same as the Galaxy A14, but the Galaxy A15 will have a higher refresh rate display of 90Hz, which could consume more power. The display size and resolution are also expected to be the same as the Galaxy A14, which has a 6.4-inch LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution.
Galaxy A15 to feature a 50MP main camera and a 13MP selfie camera
The Samsung Galaxy A15 will feature a quad-camera setup on the back, with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera will likely use pixel binning technology to produce sharper and brighter images. The front-facing camera will be a 13MP sensor housed in a waterdrop notch on the top of the display. The camera app will offer various modes and features such as night mode, portrait mode, panorama mode, and more.
Galaxy A15 to launch in Q1 2024 with an affordable price tag
The Samsung Galaxy A15 is expected to launch in Q1 2024, following the launch pattern of the Galaxy A14 series. The Galaxy A14 5G was unveiled in January this year, while the Galaxy A14 4G arrived in February. The Galaxy A15 is likely to follow suit and launch in January or February next year. The price of the Galaxy A15 is not known yet, but it is expected to be affordable and competitive in the budget segment. The Galaxy A14 5G costs €250 in Europe, while the Galaxy A14 4G costs €200. The Galaxy A15 could have similar or slightly higher prices depending on the market.
