Samsung Galaxy A90 5G - User Reviews

  • I am amazed the EU version does not come with Exynos...

  • have on three for £32 a month for 100GB over 24 months, which, if you impute ~£15 a month for the value of the minutes/data, works out at £400 which I think is a good deal

  • Will it work on VoLTE? IT will work on India? English Version Available if I bought through Aliexpress????

  • Yes it has Face Unlock

  • i want to ask.. are this a90 device have a face id lock?

  • problem in screen size.

  • little trouble in carrying it but superb fantastic

  • just hate the size 5.8 is excellent.

  • I absolutely agree with u. A smartphone's screendize should not exceed more than 6.3"

  • this phone is fantastic!!!

  • Why phones getting taller and taller day by day? I just hate taller phone . 16:9 was balanced.18:9 was ok bt byond that i really dont like

  • Definitely isn't plastic this time, as it states on Samsung website. The frame is aluminium, you can see the antennas on the frame too

  • What about Dual frequency GNSS? Does Samsung Galaxy A90 5G suport it at last?

  • Have you ever stopped to think maybe, just maybe, there literally isn't any better SoC they can put in the S10 or Note 10? And they're just trying to release a different kind of phone for different kinds of people that costs about the same as the S10 with similar specs just changed a little for different people? Come on think rationally.

  • Because it will pick up emergency service broadcasts even if the mobile phone networks are disabled in either a crisis or major disaster.

  • Use the TuneIn app

  • Nope just because Lenovo is made in China that's not mean it's bad Lenovo z6 pro had better stuff like SD card in the 12GB ram even and Len in the camera this one is the price of Lenovo 512GB and 12G ram

  • why tf do you need radio lol

  • Does it have radio? Someone tell me.

  • I mean for a midranger with a sd 855 and 5g with a price below £700 its not pretty bad. The 393 ppi screen is livable with, blacks are ok (i have the a70)

  • £669 in the uk

  • smashing hit

  • It should be around €600

  • Anybody knows about the price? What's the body material?

  • that's a 5g version it's the same battery size as S10 5G

  • This is shit. how can a flagship s10 defeat by the battery of this A90 5G. Stupid samsung specs. They care about profit anyway.

  • all time samsung is samsung is the best don't compare with chinese brands...

  • 5G?

  • Go to Lenovo z6 pro it's had Snapdragon 855 with less price

  • Lenovo z6 pro had better price and model

  • I get HDR/Extreme on Sony XZ Premium with SD 835, and gfx app but it works like a charm, even after 2 hours of gaming.

  • Look out for performance not benchmark.

  • Except u get 30fps at PUBG with HDR and not 60fps because A90 has SD855

  • They want the SD855 bro

  • SD675 VS 855 Sure

  • NFC - no ? Wireless charge - No ? Price 750 Euro - Yes ! OMG

  • A90? Be honest. It's just 5g ver of a70

  • In my view , headphone jacks should be an integral part of each and every modern smartphone . It's a timeless discovery.

  • Happpend years ago

  • They announced their wireless buds the same time they remove the jack

  • What's up with Samsung not giving the 3.5mm jack? -_-

  • My 2017 A3 is ip68 rated and its keeping me company in the shower for 2.5 years. Still going strong to this day. Have restored it 3 times since bought.

  • IP68 at a midrandge? You are joking, right?

  • Non 5G version is A80, because it's also called A90.

  • When will release non 5g version? No IP68 rating no buy.

  • Will this phone come to UK & US as an unlocked version for GSM carrier such as T-Mobile? Because I really want to buy one. Because it's an amazing and awesome device since Galaxy A9 2018. Quad rear camera aligned with vertical, it's baddass. I hate the horizontal alignment.

  • like the A70?

  • Price of mid-range should not go higher than 500$.

  • lol its not coming to India. No 5g phs 4 india

  • Thay made it. It's called A70

  • If samsung made this a 4g phone and priced it at like 400-500 usd ,eeryone would have probably bought it

  • That won't be cheap considering the price of an A80 at 48k that has a fancy rotating camera everything else is midrange spec. I bet the price will be around 52-55k for A90 (4G variant) coz it will come with SD855 for Indian variant.

  • In the US flagships (except for the OP 7 Pro) are priced at $1000+

  • The price too much high, it would be highly appriciated if the price olay aroun 400 to 450 dollars. A lot of brand starting to realeas a 48mp with a 6 to 8gb of rom in a midrange price.. Is too expensive for late 2019.

  • Dear friend we have more than 50 phone with snapdragon 855 not plus that all of them called midrange phone. Like xiaomi mi9. This phone benchmark is higher from many high end phone but engineers called midrange phone.

  • Also both xiaomi phone have price under 450 € but this phone have more than 650€. It's kidding

  • It's so funny. Compare this mid range phone and prices wirh xiaomi mi9 or m9t pro. Both phone very strongest from this plastic phone and i sure a series never have good camera if it had snapdragon 855. I also think after relase this heavy phone with 206g weight we will see many of them relase with exynos chip. Samsung product and selling department this year have awful result. You can read it in this site if search

  • Hello if you want best of Samsung smartphone with 3.5 jack then S10 is the best choice. anything beyond S10 I think without 3.5 jack. Hope it helps

  • too bad this one not coming with 3.5 mm jack, I still need it not like anybody else not going to upgrade from my S9+

  • That's it indeed

  • You know for the price of 650+ € it's not a mid-range price.

  • Look here: It says Live focus 2 times, so that means... Live focus video?

  • I don't know about a90 but a80 has it and it's a "midrange"

  • Man if i can i can buy even fold but i dont throw my money out of window for a phone which does same tthings as other touch phones. Dialing, messaging and basic apps such as facebook, messenger, viber and gaming which my X4 does. For that i really dont need bigger phone and 10 6 times more expensive as mine which does same tricks as one i curently have.

  • You can call it a midranger. But did you read say it has the Snapdragon 855 ?? Looks like you didn't.

  • Guys, i just notice from a screenshot that i found on Google, this phone has Live Focus video? Does someone have the phone just to confirm? How is that possible on a "midrange" phone? I hope Samsung port this feature to the older Galaxy's like the S9 and Note9 plz.

  • its dust & water proof?

  • release a non 5G variant !

  • Sucks that this is so expensive. Is there a normal A90 that has no 5G? (Since there's a S10 without the 5G)

  • This is due to 5G being a new technology and its expensive

  • Yeah Samsung fricked up really hard. They had the chance to correct their mistake of removing the headphone jack but they didn't. I can see where this is (or is not) going.

  • Yep I heard it was over $800 and I was just like nope. That's just way way too high. I was expected to be at the highest maybe $499 this is way out of hand.

  • Pay more than a S10 plus but 2160p 60fps HDR i Will never see This Will be the worst snapdragon 855 smartphone

  • Too expensive for my taste, hope the price drop when the time 5G network comes

  • Samsung wants 750€ (~$830). Yes, that's ridiculous!

  • i don't care about 5G for now, it will just gonna make the price of the phone higher, i hope they release a dual sim 4g only Galaxy a90 and i'm going to buy it for real, so i=excited about this phone.

  • How much is its price ? I hope it's price will be between 400-450 US dollars. Otherwise, it will be a hard choice as there are money cheaper alternatives in the market now.

  • relese date

  • There is a lot of compromises on A90. Both A90 5G and S10 are priced well

  • Its Price is better than S10. Very ridiculous!

  • Yp

  • €750 and it'll use an Exynos varisnt in some (most of) markets pfff too expensive

  • Thats because One plus 7 is flagship

  • Basically this phone is an A70 but with a flagship chipset and a slightly better camera. "Sounds good if not too expensive"

  • kinda TWO+

  • A midranger housing a snapdragon 855 chipset..I'll have to test this..this is crazy!

  • if the price is higher, then better to go with OP7 pro to get update faster or Redmi K20 pro and install pixel experience !

  • around 700€

  • It will be in between 700 to 900$ according to the storage variant...........

  • Dear indian viewers according to my Samsung India mobile business division friends who r pretty reliable.samsung a90 4 g version will be launched in mid October as they are targeting festive season to maximize sale.according naming scheme and hierarchy it will sit on the penthouse of a series family tree and will be 2019 iteration/facelift of last year's quad camera a9 2018.5g version of this phone is launched today in Seoul for us dollar 740. Which roughly translates to 54000 rupees.4g version will be launched in Delhi for around 51990 rupees.please note that a80 with Snapdragon 730g is selling in India at 47990 rupees.so rest assured prices will not be cheap.

  • Price??????

  • 5g network will not be viable and widespread till 2022 even thought it may launch in India in mid 2020. It will be isolated in some posh city pockets not even the all corners of Delhi or Mumbai. It will be costly as well not for middle class. That's why Samsung a90 4g 855 version will be launched in india at mid October during festive season.

  • The non 5G version is A80. "Also known as Samsung Galaxy A90".

  • Not so low. It's a good pixel density. For a mid-randge, this number of pixels is pretty big.

  • One+ 7 pro Better option. Samsung you're falling

  • We don't know yet. I got this information from android authority so check that out if you want to learn more.

  • Lower, but hardly low.

  • Wtf? Density is good

  • Its a great device $700 is perfect price, remember it can't have all those features that you are looking for, if you want those features they have the flagship versions which we don't have to go over it, remember its a mid ranger with 855 chipset which is really awesome in my opinion! you couldn't ask for more. Don't you?

  • Nice smartphone but the pixel density is low.

  • From my inside reliable sources I came to know 5g version will not be launched but a90 4g will be unveiled in India in mid october at about 50000 rupees as because a80 with Snapdragon 730 g is selling at 48000 rupees .my estimate is 51999 rupees and through both online and offline channels.

  • Notch. Even it's predecessor, A80 or A90, how do u want, has rotative camera! WTF!

  • What is the leaked price for the non 5G version?

  • It cost 899,000 won if you translate that to usd then that means it will cost around $740 dollars. Samsung might round down down to $700 or up to $750 but the base model should cost around that price. I feel like that is a good deal for what your getting (snapdragon 855 5g, 4500 mah, 25w charging)

  • They can hack your wife to with your IP address only

  • Well... it looks like an enhanced A70. With more megapixels camera and finally DEX in this series.

  • Why should it cost less than the a80? Insert facepalm gif -_-

  • slow or fast i always prefer the samsung smartphone over other .Now its time for a change a70 cant compete with mt 9 pro price almost the same....mid tier will be fully covered by other brand its not too late to make a choice, smartphones within 400usd from most brand are boastly capable to compare with 1000usd 1100usd .the rebellion of smartphone platform belongs to mid tiers beside of those hepty pricey flagship....let rhis a90 be a change and laucch it with a identical price tag to oneplus 7.

  • cool phone :)

  • Is it true Dual SIM with dedicated SD card slot or hybrid dual SIM?

  • Need IP68 rating and gorilla glass v5 on both sides at least. Price should be under 500 USD. But I think Samsung will provide 700 USD! nearer to S10! What do you think about it?

  • This Samsung is too expensive for you bro. Go back and check your cheap Xiaomi and Motorola phones XD

  • Radio without a jack? Last time I saw a Samsung with IR blaster it was 2015. I think you need a Xiaomi dude o.O

  • NFC? IR blaster? Radio?

  • It is just a Snapdragon 855 variant of a70 and has 48mp rear camera like in a80...

  • Using a microSD card for your phone and saving your photos or other private content on it instead of the internal storage is fully optional and your own responsibility lol. These days having your photos automatically upload to Cloud and synch to your PC's storage is far more safe and practical.

  • how much usd.

  • it will be launched on 4 SEP 2019 in south korea. 6.7" FHD+ sAMOLED Infinity-U Display 6GB RAM + 128 GB Memory 32MP Front Camera Super fast charging Rumor (sd 855, OIS)

  • my galaxy phone was stolen and Inside it is a micro SD and all family photos inside it. The phone contents can be formatted but not the ad card.

  • 100% agree

  • Agree

  • I could easily fill up the internal memory with photos alone. The 48mp photos take up a lot of memory. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I value the SD card storage. I have thousands of photos on my cards.

  • Micro SDs in the states run about $11for 64G. Dropping an SD sucks in my opinion. Our carriers charge for cloud space. Much more than an SD card you pay for once. These companies just want to make more money. I don't want my photos stored on a cloud.

  • Yes. This model does not have 3.5 mm jack, dedicated slot for memory card and 2 SIM at a time.

  • Well man skilled and experienced guys knows a lot.

  • Without dedicated memory card slot phone is waste

  • Sir please give this phone in dedicated slot

  • Ohhh, so you know about IP and hacking? How can someone hack me by just knowing my IP address... They could ddos me or know my location, but not hack the device itself.

  • I dont thinks sd cards weigh so much.... 😎😎😎

  • Lol samsung hahahah

  • it shld be 1g only!

  • by the way cloud storage is future not stupid. Stupid are SD cards which are less and less used ibnn current phones. Phones of future will more and more trade jack and sd card slot for bigger battery and other features like thinner and lighter phone etc. Only stupid is your statement which have zero value but thats your problem of understanding not mine.

  • They can hack your phone as well. If you know how its pretty easy to use your IP adress for hacking your device computer phone even smartwatches.

  • Man where on earth cost 256GB mictro card 25 dollars??? Thts not possible not in slovakia maybe in bangladesh some unknown company but not Sandisk or something like that or Samsung branded card. Cloud storage is not that expensive and it cant be damaged like SD card when you drop your phone and all your data suddenly dies. Your statement is funny and wrong. By the way many of cloud storage can be bought for free. Some companies use this as a marketing to attract even more customers.

  • Weight 220 g! Insane heavy for a brick phone

  • Will either the 4g or 5g A90 be usable in the US under Verizon?

  • But 850$

  • Why not both? Then you are secure if you lose SD card and if the cloud storage fail you still have SD card. XD

  • A-series with 855 & 5G?! O3O

  • Alright, if your cloud storage gets hacked, is your own fault for uploading all your data intro it.

  • Well they had it it was last midranger series from samsung with IP resistace. In case of samsung they taking whathewer they can to reduce cost of production like ip rating jack sd card slots etc but to keep price so they can earn more.

  • Like write on paper the could storage name annd password is that difficult omg. You can loose your micro sd card this way as well your statement is dumb and funny.

  • Still Samsung no improvement in gps concept

  • 60% of them do not want to store anything on "STUPID" cloud storage !!!. And yeh it may not be cheap but paying $2 every month for 60 months would cost you $120 where as a 256gb micro sd card would cost you $25. You will have access to your files even offline and don't have to go in search of networks

  • I believe A5 2017 and A7 2017 does have ip rating of 68 but they traded it for more cameras on their 2018 lineups

  • Storage is not with you all the time, they require internet and also if you forget your account, you lose the storage. While MicroSD, act like internal storage, you put it inside the phone and you can take it out when you want, (if phone stops working, at least you get your photos right away!)

  • 16:9 -> 18:9 -> 18.5:9 -> 19.5:9 -> 20:9... Waiting for 100:9 light saber-phone

  • Because 128GB is good enough and cloud storage is not that expensive and is far more superior than SD cards.

  • 128 GB is far nmore than anyone could needs and anyone can use cloud storage SD card is useless. When the A series of this or last series had IP resistance??? And when the warranty covered water damage???It never happened thus the all fuss about IP resistance is obsolette. Just an obverpriced gimmick useless to have because apart from plain water it wont protects against anything else. Pool chloride water or sea salt water kills your device instantly. Jack is not essential feature and thius is not important to have. Ancient technologies should be always removed from modern future like phones. 393 ppi is good enough. More brightness means more battery drain. And the total waste of money thats for sur. On every single device samsung earns 300 to 500% every Samsung device cost a lot but its not very expensive to make.

  • 128 GB is far nmore than anyone could needs and anyone can use cloud storage SD card is useless.

  • I thought they were adding a feature called tilt ois on this device?

  • Why would they even release another flagship grade phone??? This is like 10th or something (counting galagy s10 all models and note 10 all models). Now they're just needlesly confusing potential customers.

  • Better on normal A90

  • Y'all already complaining? It's rumored ffs!

  • Agree

  • i was expecting better cameras, rotating back camera to take selfies is a nice feature, but cameras are not so good

  • Because Samsung is turned intro Apple.

  • no sd card no ip 68 no 3.5 mm jack low ppi total waste of money

  • Why no sd card
