Samsung has subtly launched the Galaxy A27, its latest entry-level smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy A27 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. It’s a 5G chip paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage. Keeping the lights on is the relatively small 5,000mAh battery.
On the front, we have a large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a high 120Hz refresh rate. A 12-megapixel selfie camera is on top of it.
The rear has the 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization, paired with a 5-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 2-megapixel macro lens.
It is also IP64 dust and water-resistant.
But easily the best thing about this budget phone is its software support. Samsung promises to give it 6 Android upgrades and 6 years of security patches.
Pricing and availability details for the Samsung Galaxy A27 in the Philippines have yet to be announced.
