If everything worked as planned, Samsung would be preparing to launch the Galaxy S26 sometime later this month. But late-stage lineup changes have pushed Samsung’s launch forward by roughly a month. Meanwhile, it may be preparing to plug this chasm with launches from its affordable series, as a rumor last month suggested. The first phone, which, incidentally, is also Samsung’s most affordable 5G phone, is already hitting the market with slight improvements.
The Galaxy A07 5G looks identical to the previously launched 4G-only variant, but Samsung is advertising a few notable changes. Foremost, the 6.7-inch IPS LCD now refreshes at 120Hz, up from 90Hz on the Galaxy A06 5G. The screen resolution and the unsightly U-shaped notch remain intact. The display is also claimed to offer 800 nits of brightness in high brightness mode.
