Samsung Galaxy A18 4G price and availability

The Samsung Galaxy A18 4G has launched with a price tag of EUR 279. That converts to roughly Rs. 30,900.

The announced configuration includes 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. Samsung is offering the smartphone in Black, Grey and Light Blue colour options. The provided information confirms availability in France.

There is no India price or launch date mentioned in the provided information.

Galaxy A18 gets a 90Hz Super AMOLED display

The Galaxy A18 features a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED display. The panel offers a resolution of 1,080 x 2,340 pixels and supports a 90Hz refresh rate.

The display gives the phone a larger viewing area while retaining the contrast advantages of Samsung’s AMOLED technology.

The smartphone is powered by the Exynos 1610 chipset. It comes with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

Users can expand the storage further with a microSD card. Samsung supports cards of up to 2TB, which gives the phone considerable flexibility for storing photos, videos and apps.

Android 17 and Gemini support

Software is one of the major highlights of the Galaxy A18.

The phone runs Android 17 with Samsung’s One UI 9.0 interface. Samsung has promised six generations of operating system updates along with six years of security updates.

The Galaxy A18 also supports Google’s Circle to Search feature. Users can circle an item on the screen to search for related information.

Gemini support is also included. Samsung says users can use natural-language commands for certain tasks. These include sending messages and adding events to the calendar.

This gives the Galaxy A18 some AI-driven capabilities despite its positioning in the Galaxy A series.

50MP triple camera setup

Samsung has equipped the Galaxy A18 with three cameras on the rear. The setup includes a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 2-megapixel macro sensor.

The primary camera supports autofocus and up to 10x digital zoom. However, it does not feature optical image stabilisation. For selfies and video calls, the phone gets a 13-megapixel front camera with an f/2.0 aperture.

The rear camera can record Full-HD video at 30fps. It also supports slow-motion recording at up to 120fps in HD.

5,000mAh battery with 25W charging

The Galaxy A18 packs a 5,000mAh battery. It supports 25W wired fast charging. Samsung claims the phone can reach 50 percent charge in around 30 minutes. Connectivity includes 4G LTE and dual-SIM support. The phone also supports Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and USB Type-C.

For positioning, Samsung has included GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo and QZSS. The Galaxy A18 measures 164.4 x 77.9 x 7.7mm and weighs 196 grams. It also carries an IP64 rating for protection against dust and water splashes.

With a large Super AMOLED display, 50MP camera, 5,000mAh battery and long software support, the Galaxy A18 brings several features that are increasingly important in the mid-range smartphone segment.

For now, however, Samsung has only confirmed pricing and availability in France.
