The Galaxy A82 could be considered a successor to the 2019 Galaxy A80. However, it looks like the phone is losing its flippy camera system as the image shown in the Google Play console listing (see above) shows a device. with a punch hole placed in the center.

The listing also reveals that the Galaxy A82 will be powered by the SM8150p chipset, aka the Snapdragon 855 Plus. Even though the flagship SoC is dated, you can still expect it to do a big job in terms of overall performance. It’s also possible that the SM8150p silicon is the newer Snapdragon 860. Qualcomm officially equates both chipsets and they have matching specs as well.

Other specs revealed by the list include support for Android 11, 6GB of RAM, and a 2400 x 1080 display. Unfortunately, there is no more information available in the list. However, a previous leak suggested that the device would get a Sony IMX686 64MP main camera.

There is no word yet on a global launch of the Galaxy A82, but it is expected to release as the Galaxy A Quantum 2 in Samsung’s home market. The name also appears in the last listing, suggesting that the phone will come with a QNRG chip for extra security.

The first Galaxy A Quantum was based on the Galaxy A71 5G which launched outside of South Korea without the QNRG chip. Samsung could adopt a similar strategy with the Galaxy A82. We’ll just have to wait and watch.
