Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy A08, a budget smartphone built around a 6,000mAh battery, according to SammyGuru. The phone carries a 6.7-inch display and runs on a Helio G99+ processor paired with LPDDR5 RAM, TechNave reports.
The Galaxy A08 is a 4G model. SamMobile reports that Samsung released it in Malaysia, where TechNave lists a price of RM899. The Tech Outlook reports a tipped price of INR 18,999 for the Galaxy A08 4G in India, alongside INR 16,999 for two related models, the Galaxy F08 and Galaxy M08. Those India figures are described as tipped rather than confirmed.
Samsung's own newsroom framed the device as an effort to improve the everyday smartphone experience, while SammyGuru highlighted the battery capacity as a defining feature. The listed specifications point to a phone aimed at buyers who prioritize screen size and battery life over flagship performance.
The Galaxy A08's launch follows Samsung's pattern of releasing budget models under several names across regions. The F08 and M08 appear to share the A08's positioning in India, though the reporting so far covers pricing rather than full specifications for those two variants.
What to watch next: official confirmation of India pricing and availability for the Galaxy A08, F08 and M08, and whether Samsung brings the device to additional markets.
