TL;DR Samsung has quietly revealed the Galaxy A07 5G in Thailand.
This is the most affordable phone with 5G support in Samsung’s lineup and has the same design as the 4G variant.
Samsung also offers six years of software support to the phone, bringing it on par with more expensive mid-rangers.
If everything worked as planned, Samsung would be preparing to launch the Galaxy S26 sometime later this month. But late-stage lineup changes have pushed Samsung’s launch forward by roughly a month. Meanwhile, it may be preparing to plug this chasm with launches from its affordable series, as a rumor last month suggested. The first phone, which, incidentally, is also Samsung’s most affordable 5G phone, is already hitting the market with slight improvements.
The Galaxy A07 5G looks identical to the previously launched 4G-only variant, but Samsung is advertising a few notable changes. Foremost, the 6.7-inch IPS LCD now refreshes at 120Hz, up from 90Hz on the Galaxy A06 5G. The screen resolution and the unsightly U-shaped notch remain intact. The display is also claimed to offer 800 nits of brightness in high brightness mode.

In addition to the new-ish 120Hz display, the Galaxy A07 5G now also supports six OS upgrades. It is launching with One UI 8 based on Android 16, which means it will be supported through Android 22 (or whatever the next generation is called). This is up from the four years of support the Galaxy A06 5G is promised, and even longer than the software updates promised for flagships such as the OnePlus 15.
