As one of the leading names in the smartphone market, Samsung continues to expand its product range and offer new devices appealing to different user bases without slowing down, just as it does every year. Leaks and certification databases closely followed by the tech world provide significant clues about the company’s future plans.
Finally, records that emerged in the GSMA IMEI database have confirmed that Samsung is working on three new smartphone models. These devices are listed as the Galaxy A38 5G, which appeals to broad audiences, the Galaxy F70 5G, which is expected to be a battery monster, and the Galaxy XCover8, an indispensable tool for tough conditions. In this article, we deeply analyze the details of these leaked models and the possible innovations they are expected to offer compared to their predecessors.
Following the Galaxy A58, the new Galaxy A38 also appeared at GSMA
According to the database records, the Galaxy A38 5G was listed with the SM-A386B/DS and SM-A386U model numbers. The records show that the device has different variants for both the Global market (SM-A386B/DS) and the US market (SM-A386U). This situation proves once again how important the A series’ global strategy is for Samsung. Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy A37, the Galaxy A38 5G is expected to come with a much more efficient chipset.
In terms of design language, it is highly probable that Samsung will maintain the flat edges and minimalist rear camera layout it has adopted in recent years. Furthermore, the 120Hz Super AMOLED display standard offering high brightness with thinner bezels, and camera updates offering artificial intelligence (AI) supported improvements especially in low light, will carry this device to the top of the mid-range segment. The device receiving long-term software update support is also one of the biggest expected advantages.
Asian market’s new star, the Galaxy F70 5G, is coming
The F series, which attracts great attention especially in the Asian market, generally stands out with its massive batteries and satisfying price-performance ratios. In the GSMA IMEI database, the Galaxy F70 5G model was spotted with the SM-E176E/DS model number. This record confirms that the device is designed exclusively with a variant for the Asian market. Looking at the previous generations of the Galaxy F series, we can say that the main focus of the F70 5G will again be multimedia consumption and long battery life.
As with its predecessors, a high-capacity battery (for example, 6000 mAh) combined with an energy-efficiency-focused mid-range processor will offer users an uninterrupted experience. Small but effective updates in thermal management, screen-to-body ratio, and fast charging capacity compared to previous models will make the F70 5G a highly attractive option for mobile gamers and users who constantly consume video.
Galaxy XCover8: The New Standard in Durability
Moving beyond standard consumer expectations, the XCover series, specially designed for professionals working in construction sites, factories, or harsh natural conditions, is also getting a new member. Appearing in the database with the SM-G586B/DS model number, the Galaxy XCover8 continues the series’ deep-rooted legacy of durability. According to the records, this model was spotted only with its Global variant.
Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy XCover7, the most prominent improvements of the XCover8 are expected to be in physical durability standards (stricter MIL-STD-810H military tests and improved IP68+ ratings). The series’ signature “removable battery” and workflow-accelerating “programmable physical button (XCover Key)” features will definitely be retained. On the processor side, a performance increase is anticipated that will run corporate barcode scanning, logistics applications, and field communication software (such as Push-to-Talk) more smoothly. Additionally, it is estimated that the touch screen sensitivity suitable for use with gloves and wet hands will be further improved via software.
