Specifications
Design
Similar to its predecessor, the back and sides are made of plastic, and the front uses glass with an unspecified protection. While both models have a plastic back cover, they feature distinctive patterns to differentiate them: the LTE model has a stripes pattern[12], while the 5G model has a ripple pattern.[13]

Hardware
Display
Both models come with a 6.6-inch (170 mm) PLS LCD FHD display (1080 x 2408). This device would be the last Galaxy A1x model to have an LCD panel, as its successors use an AMOLED display.[14]
The LTE model comes in a basic 60 Hz refresh rate screen, while the 5G model screen comes with a 90 Hz refresh rate screen.[15]
Battery
Both phones come with the same 5000 mAh non-removable Li-Po battery, that supports fast charging of 15 W (Wired USB-C).[10][6]
Processor and Memory
The devices use different chipsets and also vary by country: the LTE model either used the Samsung Exynos 850 (8 nm)[16] or the MediaTek MT6769 Helio G80 (12 nm) chipset,[17] while the 5G model either used the Exynos 1330 (5 nm)[18] or the MediaTek Dimensity 700 (7 nm) chipset.[19]
Both models offer multiple RAM and storage options, ranging from 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM and 64 GB to 128 GB of internal storage.[15] The LTE model uses the eMMC storage (which also marks the last A1x model to do so)[20], while the 5G model now uses the UFS 2.2 storage, a first for the overall A1x series.[21]
Both phones come with expandable storage, the LTE and 5G international models using a dedicated microSDXC card slot, and the 5G USA's microSDXC using a sharedSIM slot.[8]
Camera
Both models include a triple camera rear setup, although include different cameras.[7] They both come with the same 50 MP f/1.8 (wide-angle) main camera with phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and a 2 MP f/2.4 (macro) camera. The 4G model comes with a 5 MP f/2.2 Ultrawide,[10] while the 5G model includes a 2 MP f/2.4 depth lens.[6] Both models use the same 13 MP f/2.0 selfie camera that is capable of 1080@30 fps video.[6][7]
Ports and connectivity
Both phones come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1 side-mounted fingerprint scanner, GPS, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and compass.[22][23] The 5G model also comes with a Bluetooth 5.2 gyro sensor, barometer (USA only), and FM Radio (Exynos 1330 only).[23]
Software
Both phones were released with One UI Core 5 on top of Android 13.[7][24] They are slated to have two OS updates and 4 years of security updates (until 2027).[25] It also marks the last time these devices will receive this limited support, as later Galaxy A1x models would have an extended support.
