Samsung Galaxy A83 Reportedly Under Development
A new Samsung Galaxy device is spotted in the budding stage, named the Galaxy A83. The Korean giant is now gearing up to expand its Galaxy A series by introducing a new mid-range device.
This upcoming Galaxy smartphone has been spotted as a new Samsung phone in the database of India’s Bureau of India Standards, as the report says. Apart from this, there is no confirmation of the moniker of the device. It seems that it could be named the Galaxy A83 when it arrives on the market. Unfortunately, the listing has no information about the specifications of the device.
Samsung’s A-series smartphones resemble scale-back variants of its Galaxy S-series flagship models. Noticeably, the Galaxy A80 featured a dedicated design; it’s expected that the upcoming A83 might also introduce something unique in terms of design and appearance.
However, since the brand has not even officially hinted at the device’s name yet, it remains unconfirmed; this is purely speculative at this stage. The report also claims that Samsung will take off covers from the Galaxy F55 5G smartphone on May 27 in India. In terms of specifications, it is almost identical to the Galaxy M55, which is available through Amazon in India.
Being an F-series phone, the F55 will be sold through Flipkart. It features a 6.7-inch FHD+ display along with a refresh rate of 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 2.2 storage. The battery package includes 5,000mAh of power with the support of 45W fast charging. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and a 50 MP selfie camera.

Undoubtedly, Samsung and Apple are rivals in the tech industry, but that’s not the case for now since Apple is considering using Samsung camera sensors for the iPhone 16.
Apple is actively setting up to debut its next-gen phone, the iPhone 16. If this report comes true, this will be the first time Apple has gone for Samsung’s camera sensor. Traditionally, Sony is the usual supplier of Apple, but for now, Apple is testing the Samsung sensors.
If the report from The Elec is to be believed, Apple will use a camera sensor from Samsung System LSI for the primary rear camera of the iPhone 16. The report says Apple decided to source camera sensors for the iPhone 16 from Samsung instead of Sony.
There are two key reasons behind this sudden change; for instance, the giant has recently acknowledged that sensors from the Japanese supplier have issues regarding reliability. The second fact behind this step is that Sony could not deliver the required camera sensors to Apple for the iPhone 15 on time, due to which Apple had issues setting a debut date for the phone.
Now, Apple asked the Korean giant to start developing sensors for the iPhone 16 last year. According to the report, the image sensor Samsung System LSI has developed for the iPhone 16 has a three-wafer stack. Each stack features a different element: photodiodes, transistors, and analog-to-digital converter logic.

Apart from the high-end devices, Samsung is also looking forward to introducing a mid-range smartphone named the Galaxy A16. The report reveals the battery details of this upcoming smartphone that appeared online for BIS certification. Let’s take a closer look at the battery specs of the Galaxy A16.
Leaks and rumors started circulating about the features and specs of the forthcoming Galaxy A16 mid-range smartphone. Now the new report suggests that, for the first time, the Galaxy A16’s batteries have come into existence on BIS certification. The batteries were spotted with the mode numbers EB-BA166ASE and EB-BA166ASY.
This is being speculated on by the reports from 91Mobiles. These two variants probably belong to two battery suppliers for a reliable supply chain. It is reported that these batteries are for the 5G variant of the phone.
However, it has yet to be clear whether the giant will launch a 4G version of the device, as 5G chipsets are now more affordable. Noticeably, the battery size has not been revealed yet. Following the battery capacities of its predecessor devices, including the Galaxy A13 5G, the Galaxy A14 5G features a 5,000mAh battery. So it could be possible that the upcoming Galaxy A16 might have a 5,000 mAh battery.
On the other side, the Galaxy S25 batteries have also appeared on the same BIS certification, with the model numbers EB-BS938ABE and EB-BS938ABY probably arriving from two suppliers.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is the first in line to debut in early 2025. Right now, the battery that has been picked for the ultra variant of the series called the Galaxy S25 Ultra has received certification from India’s Bureau of India Standards (BIS).
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has almost half a year to take the floor, but the leaks have already started blowing in the market. Now the new report says that the forthcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will also not bring a battery capacity upgrade with the standard Galaxy S25 model.
The new certification on BIS suggests that the Galaxy S25 Ultra battery will not bring any major upgrades. The batteries have been spotted with model numbers EB-BS938ABE and EB-BS938ABY on the BIS certificate. At the time, the model number of the batteries only appeared on the certification; the capacities were not mentioned.
It is expected that Samsung will attach a 5,000mAh battery to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. That capacity is more than enough to handle anything these Ultra handsets are capable of, particularly with the highly efficient nature of current smartphone chips.
However, a few reports draw attention to the possibility that Samsung could use three different chips for the Galaxy S25 lineup, and the Ultra model could exclusively use a Snapdragon chip in all markets, the same as the current Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Currently, the brand is busy with its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, which will be on July 10 in Paris. A bunch of Galaxy devices are in line to make their debuts at the launch event, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Galaxy Buds 3, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, the Galaxy Ring, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, and the Galaxy Watch 7.
