Samsung launches the Galaxy A07 as its cheapest 2025 handset
Samsung has introduced the Galaxy A07, positioning it as the brand’s most affordable smartphone for 2025. Arriving as the successor to last year’s Galaxy A06, the A07 targets budget-conscious buyers who want a large display, respectable cameras and extended software support without paying a premium.
Key specifications and hardware highlights
Display and performance
The Galaxy A07 sports a 6.7-inch LCD panel with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate — a notable feature at this price point for smoother scrolling and UI interactions. Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity Helio G99 chipset, which delivers solid everyday performance for browsing, social apps and light gaming.
Memory, storage and expansion
Samsung offers four memory/storage options to suit different needs: 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB. A dedicated microSD slot is included for additional storage, useful for users who store photos, music and offline media.
Battery and charging
The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W Super Fast Charging — enough capacity for a full day or more of mixed use, and relatively fast top-ups when you need them.
Camera setup
On the back there’s a dual-camera array led by a 50MP primary sensor plus a 2MP macro lens. A single 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. While not flagship-level imaging, the setup should satisfy social media users and casual photographers.
Software, connectivity and durability
Samsung ships the A07 with Android 15-based One UI 7.0 and promises six OS upgrades and six years of security updates — one of the strongest support commitments in the budget segment. Connectivity is limited to 4G LTE (no 5G), and the phone carries an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. The rear shell uses Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), which Samsung says improves strength while keeping weight down. The A07 measures 164.4 x 77.4 x 7.6 mm and weighs 184 g, and it comes in Black, Green and Light Violet finishes.
Pricing, models and market relevance
Initially available in Indonesia, the Galaxy A07 starts at IDR 1,399,000 (about USD 86) for the 4GB/64GB base model. Other SKUs are priced at IDR 1,649,000 (~USD 101) for 4GB/128GB, IDR 1,949,000 (~USD 120) for 6GB/128GB and IDR 2,299,000 (~USD 141) for 8GB/256GB. At these price points, the A07 competes strongly in emerging markets where buyers prioritize battery life, a big display and long software support over 5G connectivity.
Use cases and advantages
The Galaxy A07 is aimed at students, first-time smartphone buyers and budget-minded users who need dependable daily performance, long battery life and a large screen for media consumption. Its standout advantages are the large 5,000mAh battery, 90Hz display, expandable storage and an unmatched software update promise in the entry-level category.
How it stacks up
Compared with rival budget phones, the A07’s combination of a 90Hz display, sizable battery and six software upgrades makes it attractive despite the absence of 5G. For markets where 4G remains the norm, Samsung’s strong update policy and brand support could tip the scales in its favor.
