There’s another Samsung Unpacked event taking place on March 17 at 10:00 EDT, and no, we are not expecting another flagship phone. Instead, rumors are circulating that the brand will unveil the Samsung Galaxy A72 mid-range phone during the digital event, which will be streamed on Samsung’s press room and official YouTube page.
‘Mid-range’ may underline the A72: rumors suggest it will be a powerful device that is expected to inherit even more from flagship phones than its predecessor, inclusive the famous ‘Space Zoom’ which can be enlarged 30x. This is impressive, since the Galaxy A71 did not even have a tele-lens.
Samsung has not unequivocally said that the A72 is the product unveiled. But there are hints that the A72 will be the focus – namely the name of the event (‘Samsung’s Galaxy Awesome Unpacked’) and the striking capital letters in the description of the one line on the announcement post: “Join us on March 17 for the Galaxy Awesome Unpacked to hear how Samsung Electronics is bringing Awesome to everyone.”
Judging by the rumors, the A72 would be great to see.
Mid-range A72, flagship benefits
despite Space zoomThe rumored flagship benefits coming to the A72 contain specifications upgrades such as a 90Hz refresh rate for the 6.7-inch Full HD (2400 x 1080) AMOLED screen with on-screen fingerprint sensor, up to 256 GB of storage, a 5,000 mAh battery and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
On top of that, these are the specifications inherited from the A71, which is still respected in 2021: a 32MP selfie camera and a four-wheel rear camera with 64MP main shooter, 12MP 123-degree FoV ultra-wide camera, 5MP macro and 8MP telephoto. The only downside we heard? It does not have 5G – at least at first, or that some regions may only get a 4G LTE version. We’ll have to wait until March 17th Unpacked to know the truth.
