Samsung has developed the Galaxy A38and according to a new leak the main innovation will concern autonomy. The successor to the Galaxy A37, launched in March, is expected to feature a battery with a nominal capacity of 5,882 mAhequivalent to a typical capacity of approximately 6,000 mAh.
The jump compared to the 5,000 mAh of the current Galaxy A37 is 20%, and if confirmed it would be the largest battery ever installed in a Galaxy A sold in Europe. However, one clarification must be made: the cell it should not exploit silicon-carbon technologythe one that guarantees greater energy density for the same volume and which for now Samsung reserves for other market segments.
For the rest, the Galaxy A38 looms as a cosmetic update. The photographic sector should remain identical to that of the previous generation: main sensor from 50MPultra wide angle from 8MPmacro module from 5MP and selfie camera 12MP. It would be the third consecutive generation with this same configuration, after Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A37.
The price point: the A range continues to cost more
It is not yet known whether the same battery upgrade will also arrive on the Galaxy A58the higher-end model that Samsung is expected to launch at the same time. It cannot be ruled out that the Korean company reuses the same cell on both devices, but at the moment there is no confirmation to this effect. The debut of both models is expected between March and April 2027.
The most delicate chapter, however, concerns the price list. Galaxy A36 started at 379 euros in Europe, while Galaxy A37 debuted at 429 euros, a price then apparently revised upwards to 469 euros. If the trend continues, the Galaxy A38 could get dangerously close to the 500 euro threshold.
A more generous battery is undoubtedly a concrete selling point in this market segment, especially for those who use the smartphone as their main device. But if the increase in autonomy is accompanied by a further increase in price, without any improvement on the photographic or performance front, the quality-price ratio of Serie A risks becoming even thinner.
