Specifications of Samsung’s upcoming mid-range Galaxy A6 and A6 Plus smartphones have leaked again. As per the fresh report, the smartphones will feature an Infinity Display design and the Galaxy A6 is said to feature a 5.6-inch full-HD+ display with a 2220 × 1080 resolution, same as the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), whereas the Galaxy A6+ might come with a 6.0-inch screen with FHD+ resolution, which is also seen on the Samsung Galaxy A8+ (2018). Both their screens could sport a pixel density of around 441 ppi and feature an 18.5:9 display aspect ratio.
As per the report, the Galaxy A6 could be powered by an octa-core Exynos 7870 SoC, coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. Whereas the Galaxy A6+ might be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC and feature 4GB RAM with 32GB of onboard storage. The leak is consistent with previous reports, but we advise to take it with a pinch of salt as it’s not from a known source. The two devices were previously spotted on US FCC website and as per that listing, the Galaxy A6+ might actually be running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC. The FCC listings also hints that the two phones might launch running on Samsung Experience 9.0, based upon Android Oreo.
Apart from the Galaxy A6 series smartphones, rumours suggest that the company is also working on its flagship Galaxy Note 9. A new render video of the smartphone was posted online recently, which is based upon the ongoing rumours of the smartphone, along with the current market trends in terms of design. The video shows the Galaxy S9 featuring a rectangular candy-bar design with rounded corners and it’s seen in black, silver, blue, and gold colour variants. There is also an S-pen in matching colours. As rumours suggest that the device might feature an in-display fingerprint scanner, the video shows the same and also with even thinner bezels, compared to the current S9 series smartphones.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is rumoured to launch around August 2018 and its specs were also revealed in a Geekbench listing. As per the listing, the alleged Galaxy Note 9 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, which is also equipped in the company’s current flagship Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones, and features a model number SM-N960U. It could come with 6GB RAM and scores 2190 and 8806 in a single-core and multi-core performance benchmarks respectively.
It’s interesting to note that the Samsung Galaxy S9+ powered by the Exynos 9810 SoC, which we tested, scored 3769 in single-core and 8938 in multi-core performance tests. If the Geekbench score of the Galaxy Note 9 with Snapdragon 845 is to be believed, then it underperforms when compared to Galaxy S9+ with Exynos 9810 SoC. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is also expected to launch running on the latest version of Android 8.1 Oreo and the listing suggests the same.
