The Samsung Galaxy A86 5G is emerging as one of the most anticipated mid-premium smartphones of 2025, especially as Samsung pushes the A-series closer to flagship performance. Early information suggests that the A86 will focus heavily on display quality, battery efficiency and upgraded AI-supported photography.
Design & Display Details
The Samsung Galaxy A86 5G is expected to bring a cleaner and more modern design with slimmer bezels, a centered punch-hole and a matte glass back. Samsung may use a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, giving it a brighter, smoother and more colour-accurate viewing experience. Peak brightness could reach 2000 nits, making outdoor visibility better than the A85. The updated display engine should enhance HDR playback and smooth animation transitions, especially in gaming and social media scrolling.
Performance Details
Samsung is expected to use a region-specific dual chipset strategy:
- Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 for global markets
- Exynos 1500 series for select Asian regions
Both variants aim to deliver better thermals, stronger AI acceleration and more consistent performance during long gaming sessions. The Samsung Galaxy A86 5G may come with 8GB/12GB RAM and faster UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring quicker app loading, cleaner multitasking and smooth performance with Samsung’s One UI 7.
Battery performance is a key talking point. A 5200mAh battery paired with 45W fast charging is expected, giving the device better endurance compared to previous A-series models.
Camera Details
Photography is another major highlight of the Samsung Galaxy A86 5G. According to early reports, the phone may feature:
- 108MP main sensor with enhanced low-light processing
- 12MP ultra-wide lens
- 5MP macro/portrait lens
Software & AI Update
The Samsung Galaxy A86 5G will launch with One UI 7 based on Android 15. Users can expect upgraded AI tools such as:
- AI photo remaster
- Smart suggestion engine
- On-device document scanning
- AI wallpaper creator
Samsung may offer four years of OS updates and five years of security patches, making the A86 a long-term reliable device.
