More leaks about Samsung’s next mid-range phones are arriving. Soon after similar details surfaced for the Galaxy A58, new information suggests the more affordable Galaxy A38 will follow a familiar path when it launches next year.
Same Camera Hardware as the Galaxy A37
According to Dutch site GalaxyClub, the Galaxy A38 is expected to carry the same camera setup as the current Galaxy A37:
- Main camera: 50MP
- Ultrawide camera: 12MP
- Macro camera: 5MP
- Front camera: 12MP
As with most early leaks, only megapixel counts have surfaced so far. It’s still unclear whether Samsung plans to use newer sensors behind those figures, so the numbers alone don’t confirm that the hardware is identical.
A Familiar Pattern Across the 2027 A-Series
This fits the approach Samsung appears to be taking with its 2027 A-series cameras. The hardware stays familiar, and any real improvements come from software, image processing, or tuning. If the A38 does repeat the A37’s camera setup, buyers hoping for a bigger hardware jump may find it underwhelming.
Upgrades are more likely to show up in other areas, such as the processor, battery, display, or the overall feel of the system. Solid details on those components haven’t leaked yet.
Prices Keep Creeping Up
Pricing has been rising across the A-series in Europe:
| Model | Launch year | European starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A36 | 2025 | Around €379 |
| Galaxy A37 | 2026 | €429 at launch |
The A37’s official price has since climbed to €469 in some markets. Some people are already speculating that the A38 could edge closer to the €500 mark, partly because of rising component costs, especially memory. That matches the memory-driven price increases other brands have made this year.
Expected Launch Window
Both the Galaxy A38 and Galaxy A58 are expected sometime in March or April 2027, shortly after the Galaxy S27 series launches. A repeated camera setup may look modest on paper. Still, it lines up with how Samsung has handled this segment lately, putting more weight on software support, build quality, and smaller refinements elsewhere.
What to Expect Next
Clearer specifications should appear as development continues and the launch gets closer. Until Samsung confirms anything officially, these details are early reports and could change, including the cameras, pricing, and launch timing.
