Samsung's Next A‑Series Reportedly Gets a 6,000mAh Cell and 45W Charging

Leaked battery data for the A38 and a China certification for the A58 suggest bigger cells and no bundled charger, a mix that could raise prices for the midrange refresh.

Overview

  • Reports from multiple outlets say the Galaxy A38 will use a battery rated at 5,882mAh and likely be marketed as a typical 6,000mAh cell, though this detail comes from leaks and is not yet confirmed by Samsung.
  • China's 3C/CCC certification for the Galaxy A58 (model SM‑A5860), published Tuesday, officially lists 45W wired charging and notes the phone will be sold in China without a charger in the box.
  • Leaked and aggregated reporting indicates the A38 and A58 will mostly carry over camera resolutions from the A37/A57 generation, so the refresh looks iterative rather than a redesign.
  • The pair are expected to debut in the first half of 2027, with several outlets naming March or April as likely launch months, and analysts say larger batteries and removed chargers may reflect cost trade‑offs that affect pricing.
  • The changes matter to buyers because a 6,000mAh cell would be a notable step up for Samsung's A3x family and could extend real‑world runtime, while the lack of included chargers will shift accessory costs to consumers and influence total purchase price.
