- Samsung Galaxy A07 5G launching in India with significant price hikes compared to its predecessor, the A06 5G.
- Base 4GB model priced at ₹15,999 (~$175), while the 6GB variant costs ₹17,999 (~$200), both with 128GB storage.
- Previous model (A06 5G) was significantly cheaper at ₹11,499 (~$125) and ₹12,999 (~$140) for similar configurations.
- Minimal hardware upgrades: 120Hz 720p display (up from 90Hz) and larger 6,000mAh battery, but most specs remain identical.
- Price increases likely due to ongoing RAM shortages, with low-end devices expected to be most affected.
- Galaxy A07 5G won't be available in the US, leaving uncertainty for premium A-series and Galaxy S26 pricing.
- Consumers advised to plan ahead as upgrading to new phones in 2026 may be more expensive.
