Samsung is reportedly preparing to introduce the Galaxy A18 smartphone in the coming weeks. However, Samsung has not revealed the official launch date yet.
Ahead of it’s launch, the rumoured smartphone has appeared on Geekbench. The alleged Geekbench listing has revealed the key specification details of the device.
The device was listed with a model code SM-A185G and has a MediaTek’s MT6789 octa-core chip, which is the Helio G99. This could be taken as a hint that the upcoming smartphone could be a 4G device.
This goes in line with a rumor last month claimed that the Galaxy A18’s 4G model will use a MediaTek chip, while the 5G version will have a Qualcomm chip at the helm.
The Galaxy A18 on the Geekbench test was listed with 4GB RAM onboard and ran Android 17, likely having One UI 9 on top.
It scored 745 and 2,073 points in Geekbench’s single and multi-core tests, respectively.
While the Galaxy A18 4G that surfaced on Geekbench has model code SM-A185G, we know there’s another 4G version bearing model designation SM-A185F. The same models test firmware was spotted on Samsung’s European server. That model is also likely to have the Helio G99 SoC under the hood.
The said Galaxy A18 4G will likely have a similar design as it’s predecessor. Leaked renders revealed you’ll get an Infinity-U notched display on the front and a vertically aligned triple camera setup on the rear.
The Galaxy A18’s launch date isn’t known, but a previous rumor claimed Samsung would launch the Galaxy A18 4G first, followed by the Galaxy A18 5G months later.
The Korean brand is also expected to begin the mass production of the 4G version sometime this month. It reportedly plans to produce 100,000 units of the Galaxy A18 4G in August, 2.4 million units in September, and 2.5 million units in October. However, production plans could change depending on market conditions. Production for the Galaxy A18 5G will begin in accordance with Qualcomm’s readiness.
