Samsung has started unveiling new handsets from its 2020 Galaxy A series. We first heard virtually this entry-level device when it popped up on Geekbench a couple of months ago. There haven't been a lot of rumors well-nigh this telephone given that information technology's a relatively bones smartphone.

So it's not surprising that Samsung isn't making a large deal about the Galaxy A01's launch. The Galaxy A01 is going to be the cheapest handset in the new Galaxy A series. The specs are respectable enough for a device that will cater to the entry-level segment of the market.

Galaxy A01 is Samsung's latest entry-level smartphone

The Galaxy A01 features a 5.7-inch HD+ resolution Infinity-V display. There's an octa-core Quad one.95 GHz + Quad 1.45GHz processor nether the hood with 6/8GB RAM variants and 128GB internal storage. 6/8GB RAM seems a bit out of place for a device of this caliber. It was previously spotted with 2GB of RAM, so perhaps Samsung may update the published spec sheet at some bespeak in the future. The handset supports microSD expansion up to 512GB. You'll notice a xiii-megapixel f/2.2 primary camera on the back with a ii-megapixel f/two.4 depth sensor. At that place's besides a 5-megapixel f/2.0 selfie photographic camera.

Update:As expected, the spec canvas Samsung initially published wasn't entirely accurate. It has since reached out to confirm that the Galaxy A01 indeed features 2GB of RAM with 16GB of internal storage. MicroSD support upward to 512GB is still present.

Boosted features include FM Radio and the usual slew of light and proximity sensors aside from the accelerometer. At that place's a 3,000mAh battery keeping the lights on. The handset measures 146.iii x 70.86 x eight.34mm and will exist available in black, blue and carmine colors. Information technology will virtually likely be running Android 10 out of the box.

There's however a lot of space in the market place for a robust entry-level device. Such handsets tend to practice very well in markets where a lot of people are all the same getting their get-go smartphones. Only how well the Galaxy A01 performs remains to exist seen. Samsung besides hasn't confirmed any pricing or availability details about the Galaxy A01. It shouldn't be long now, though, earlier it follows through with that information.
