Samsung Galaxy A18 CAD Renders Emerge, 5G Version to Use Qualcomm Chip
New renders based on CAD data for the Samsung Galaxy A18 smartphone have been published. The 5G variant is expected to switch to a Qualcomm processor, differing from previous leaks.
CAD-based renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A18 smartphone have surfaced, providing an early look at the device's design and specifications. A key change noted is the anticipated use of a Qualcomm chipset for the 5G variant.
The renders suggest the Galaxy A18 5G will measure 164.4 x 77.8 x 7.84mm, with a thickness of 9.74mm when including the rear camera bump. This represents a slight increase in thickness compared to the Galaxy A17. The display is expected to be a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and an Infinity-U notch for the front camera.
Internally, the rear camera setup is expected to mirror the A17, featuring a triple-camera system with a slightly adjusted housing design. The camera specifications are projected to include a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. The front-facing camera is anticipated to be 13MP.
Powering the device will be a 5000mAh battery. The most significant alteration is the potential shift to a Qualcomm processor for the 5G model, a departure from Samsung's use of its own Exynos chips in some previous models. The 4G version is rumored to continue using a MediaTek chipset.
These details offer a preliminary view of the Galaxy A18, highlighting expected design elements and a notable change in processor strategy for its 5G iteration.
