Samsung is putting an unusually long software-support promise on its next bargain Galaxy phones — and the Galaxy A07 5G is showing up with real hardware upgrades, too. A quiet set of listings point to up to six major Android OS updates, plus a 120Hz display and a bigger battery on the 5G model. (Digital Trends)
This matters because budget Android phones are usually where update commitments go to die. People buy them because they’re affordable, then live with aging software long before the hardware actually gives up.
Android version upgrades aren’t just cosmetic. They keep apps compatible, add platform features over time, and (in the best-case scenario) keep security protections moving as threats change.
SamMobile reports that Samsung has already listed the Galaxy A07 5G on its Thailand website in two memory configurations: 4GB/128GB and 6GB/128GB. The same listing shows pricing at THB 5,499 (about $175) and THB 5,999 (about $190), with Black and Light Violet color options. (SamMobile)
Samsung isn’t holding a big launch event for this one, at least not yet. In a post on X, 91mobiles described the A07 5G as a “quiet” global launch and highlighted the long update window and a 120Hz LCD panel. (X (formerly Twitter))
On the hardware side, the Galaxy A07 5G looks like a straightforward upgrade over the Galaxy A06 5G where it counts for day-to-day use. SamMobile says it has a 6.7-inch HD+ LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate (the spec that makes scrolling look smoother) and up to 800 nits of peak brightness. (SamMobile)
Battery is getting a bump as well: 6,000mAh, which SamMobile notes is 20% larger than the previous model’s. The phone supports up to 25W wired charging. (SamMobile)
The rest of the spec sheet is firmly budget, but not shocking: a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage with microSD expansion up to 2TB. Cameras include a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor, plus an 8MP selfie camera, and Samsung keeps a fingerprint sensor in the power button. (SamMobile)
Software is the headline. SamMobile says the Galaxy A07 5G ships with Android 16 and One UI 8.0 and is slated to be updated up to Android 22 — essentially six Android version jumps. (SamMobile)
Digital Trends also pointed to the standard Galaxy A07 getting a similar “six major OS updates” pitch, paired with six years of security support. It listed more modest baseline specs for that model — a 6.7-inch 90Hz display and a 5,000mAh battery — and warned that there’s already a 4G Galaxy A07 from September 2025, so buyers should verify exactly which version they’re looking at. (Digital Trends)
There’s a catch, though: long support on paper doesn’t always mean fast updates in practice. Samsung hasn’t laid out how quickly these entry-level models will get each Android release in every region, and cheap phones often wait longer than flagships even when they’re technically “supported.”
Still, if Samsung actually delivers six full Android upgrades on a phone in this price bracket, that’s a meaningful shift for the low end of the market. For now, the Galaxy A07 5G rollout looks like it’s happening the quiet way — through regional listings — and the real test will be how widely it shows up, and how reliably those updates land once people start buying it.
