Samsung is working on its most powerful A-series phone yet the Samsung Galaxy A86 5G expected to launch globally and in India in late 2025. Positioned just below the flagship S-series, the A86 5G will bring flagship-tier specs at a mid-premium price, featuring a vibrant AMOLED display, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 or Exynos equivalent, and a powerful 108MP camera setup. The phone is aimed at users seeking the Samsung experience with premium design, camera power, and 5G performance without the S-series price tag.
Immersive 120Hz AMOLED Display with Slim Profile
The Galaxy A86 5G is expected to feature a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED+ Infinity-O display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness up to 1,800 nits. It will offer an in-display fingerprint sensor and support for HDR10+ content, making it a treat for multimedia lovers. The design is likely to be ultra-slim with a matte glass-like finish and IP rating for basic water and dust protection.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 / Exynos 1480 with 5G Support
Depending on the market, the phone may be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 or Samsung’s own Exynos 1480 chipset with AMD RDNA GPU, ensuring top-notch 5G performance and power efficiency. Paired with 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 storage, the A86 5G will handle multitasking, gaming, and high-performance tasks with ease. It will ship with One UI 7 based on Android 14, optimized for smooth animations and enhanced privacy features.
108MP Triple Camera Setup with OIS
On the camera front, the Galaxy A86 5G is rumored to sport a 108MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), along with an ultra-wide and macro/depth sensor. Samsung is also expected to bring improved night photography and video recording with Super HDR and 4K@60fps support. A 32MP front-facing camera will cater to selfie enthusiasts, complete with AI face filters and portrait enhancements.
Battery & Fast Charging
The device will come with a 5,000mAh battery and 45W fast charging, a step up from the traditional 25W on earlier A-series phones. It may also include Samsung Knox security, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, and 5G dual-SIM with eSIM support, offering a complete premium smartphone package.
Samsung Galaxy A86 5G India Launch & Price Estimate
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy A86 5G in India by Q4 2025, priced between ₹32,999 and ₹36,999 (ex-showroom). The phone will compete with the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, POCO X8 Ultra 5G, and OnePlus Nord 4, but with Samsung’s trusted brand value, better software experience, and premium display quality.
