A new leak says Samsung’s next mid-range phones, the Galaxy A38 5G and Galaxy A58 5G, will get bigger batteries and faster charging. Notebookcheck reports that the phones are said to charge much faster than the Galaxy S26, which costs more. Samsung has not announced either phone, so the details remain unconfirmed.
The change would break a long pattern. SamMobile notes that Samsung has capped its mid-range and high-end phones at 5,000mAh for years. It says that is set to change next year, starting with the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra. The leak suggests the Galaxy A38 will also get a larger battery, which would bring the upgrade to a lower price tier.
The leak points to a battery upgrade for the Galaxy A38 and a charging upgrade for the Galaxy A58. Android Headlines frames it the same way, with battery specs for the A38 and charging specs for the A58.
