Samsung's cheapest 5G phone reaches another market

Samsung has launched the Galaxy A07 5G in the Philippines. The phone was first introduced in Thailand and is now reaching additional markets. It is the company’s most affordable 5G smartphone and comes with an upgraded display and a larger battery.

The Galaxy A07 5G is now listed on Samsung Philippines’ website, priced at PHP 8,290 (around $140), for the variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The 4GB + 128GB model is priced at PHP 9,990 (around $170). This makes the device considerably more expensive than its predecessor, the Galaxy A06 5G. The higher price could be due to rising RAM costs compared to last year.

The phone features a 6.7-inch PLS LCD display with HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 800 nits peak brightness. This results in smoother visuals compared to the Galaxy A06 5G’s 90Hz LCD panel. The device retains a U-shaped notch, however, which gives it a dated look compared to more modern smartphones.

It includes an 8MP front-facing camera, a 50MP primary rear camera, and a depth sensor. Video recording is supported at up to 1080p at 30 frames per second.

The Galaxy A07 5G is powered by the same MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor used in the Galaxy A06 5G. It comes with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, along with a microSD card slot for expansion. The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery and supports 25W fast charging. It has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

The device runs Android 16-based One UI 8.5, and Samsung has promised to provide six major Android OS updates. It comes in Black and Light Violet colors.
