The company has announced to bring the new budget phone, Galaxy A07, in the first week of February.

It is said to feature a 6.7-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which promises smooth transitions and scrolling for videos and web browsing. The 800 nits are to provide clear legibility even in sunlight. For added durability, the screen will be protected by a 2-step tempered glass.

Galaxy A07 5G will sport a dual-camera setup, comprising a 50MP autofocus camera for high-quality images and a 2MP camera for depth perception.

The company says that the main camera’s f/1.8 aperture—aided by its 2MP depth camera—will be able to deliver stunning bokeh effect portraits by focusing on subjects and blurring the background. The wide-angle setup is fine-tuned for vibrant colours and crisp detail, ideal for photographing sunsets, street scenes, or candid moments.

On the front, it will feature an 8MP camera for selfies and video calling.

The device is expected to come with a MediaTek Helio G99 octa-core chipset and a massive 6000mAh battery that is 20% larger than its predecessor. It will support 25W fast charging as well.
