Samsung to Launch 5G Variants Galaxy A71, A51 in US: Report

As 5G seems to be more common in several parts of the world this year, Samsung may be planning to launch multiple mid-range smartphones compatible with this latest cellular technology. The South Korean consumer electronics giant is getting ready to launch a 5G variant of the Galaxy A71 in the US that was originally announced as a 4G version device in Vietnam last month.

The report is also claiming that Samsung has been working on two new Galaxy A71 variants with model numbers SM-A716U and SM-A716U1. But there’s no rumors and leaks their specifications. The already launched Galaxy A71 4G variant is powered by the Snapdragon 730 along with only 4G modem, but the new variants could be powered by a different chipset supporting a 5G modem.

It has also been reported that Samsung will also launch a 5G variant of the Galaxy A51 smartphone which was also unveiled alongside A71. While the standard Galaxy A51 comes with model number SM-A515F, the 5G variant will apparently sport the model number SM-A516N. The Galaxy A51 having Exynos 9611 Soc doesn’t support 5G connectivity, so it will be interesting to see about the processor to be used with the Exynos 5100 5G modem.

Samsung has announced the mid-range segment Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A51 smartphone at an event in Vietnam last month and it is expected to be launched India sooner as the company has teased the same on its official site. While the more affordable Galaxy A51 is expected to be priced from Rs. 22,990 for the 6GB+128GB model while the more premium Galaxy A71 will reportedly start at Rs. 29,990 for the same configuration.
