Samsung is all set to revamp its budget smartphone series with the launch of the Galaxy A04s. The upcoming handset will be an entry-level phone similar to its predecessor, i.e, the Galaxy A03s. Samsung had introduced the Galaxy A03s last year with a budget Helio P series processor, an HD+ display, and a massive 5,000 mAh battery. However, the Galaxy A04s is rumored to bring some noticeable changes compared to its predecessor.
The changes are not just going to be limited to just the hardware. We can confirm the latter as we have received the 5K renders of the Galaxy A04s via a noted industry source (@onleaks). Samsung might launch the Galaxy A04s in India alongside the global regions in the coming months. But what all upgrades would we get to see on the latest Galaxy A series phone? Would it be priced higher compared to its predecessor in India? Let’s find out:
Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Design Comparison
The Samsung Galaxy A04s will have a refreshed design compared to its predecessor, i.e, the Galaxy A03s. The 5K renders that we received showed a re-worked back panel which is now more appealing. The upcoming Galaxy A04s will wear a matte skin at the back with an all-new camera module. This time also Samsung has used a triple-lens setup on the Galaxy A04s.
However, all the cameras are positioned on the upper left corner separately instead of being packed inside a vertical or square-shaped module. This is one of the key design differences between both Galaxy A04s and Galaxy A03s. For reference, the Galaxy A03s has a vertical camera module on the top-left of the back panel.
Upfront, the Galaxy A04s will pack a tall display that will have a slim side and top bezel but a thick chin bezel. The notch isn’t changed compared to the Galaxy A03s. Both units sport a waterdrop style notch (Infinity V panel). The remaining design aspects of the Galaxy A03s and the Galaxy A04s remain unchanged.
Both handsets pack the power and the volume key on the right spine. Notably, the power key on both phones integrates a fingerprint scanner for security. The bottom panel on both Galaxy A03s and the Galaxy A04s has the USB Type-C port along with the speaker grille.
Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Display Specification Comparison
Our tipster has revealed the display specifications of the Galaxy A04s. The upcoming budget Galaxy A series phone will be packing a 6.5-inch display. The screen resolution and refresh rate details aren’t revealed just yet. However, we might see a standard 720P HD+ screen resolution along with a 60Hz refresh rate.
The Galaxy A03s was also launched with a 6.5-inch HD+ display. The panel used is TFT with 720p HD+ resolution. It remains to be seen if Samsung uses an upgraded LCD panel on the Galaxy A04s uses the same TFT panel.
Samsung Galaxy A04s Vs Galaxy A03s: Other Key Specs Comparison
The Samsung Galaxy A04s is rather a newbie at the rumor mill. Its remaining hardware specifications such as camera and battery details are unannounced as of now. Samsung might change the chipset and the camera hardware on the new-generation budget Galaxy A phone. But the changes would be confirmed once more details on the hardware are available. Nevertheless, the Galaxy A04s will also be an entry-level handset similar to its predecessor.
So we can expect a similar launch price as the Galaxy A03s in India. Speaking of which, the Galaxy A03s is now available for sale in India at around Rs. 10,998 via Amazon for the 3GB RAM and 32GB storage model and Rs. 11,599 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage model.

We at Giznext have managed to get out hands on the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G and in this article, we are doing the first impressions/ quick review of the latest iQOO gaming phone.
iQOO Z6 Pro 5G First Impressions: Display And Design Overview
iQOO has managed to keep a premium design language for its mid-tier and affordable phones. The iQOO Z6 Pro 5G with a subtle yet premium appeal makes for a good example of the same. The Z6 Pro 5G has a slim profile which along with the matte-gradient mix textured back panel feels premium to hold. iQOO has redesigned the camera module which adds to the overall appeal.
It is a big square module that houses two large camera rings with metallic layering. This protruding camera module is the x-factor in terms of design. It is worth mentioning that the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G comes in Phantom Dusk and Legion Sky shades. We have received the former for review.
The front panel isn’t entirely re-worked. The company has used a tiny punch-hole camera cutout at the center top for the selfie camera. Both volume and the power keys are placed on the right panel, while the left panel is kept barren. At the bottom, the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G has the hybrid SIM slot along with the USB Type-C port and the speaker grille. We had a decent experience with single-hand usability. Despite being a tall handset, operating the Z6 Pro 5G with one hand isn’t a big task.
As for the display, the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G features a 6.44-inch AMOLED panel. This time iQOO has selected an upgraded panel that helps with improved gaming visuals. The Z6 Pro 5G’s AMOLED display supports 1080 x 2404 pixels FHD+ resolution and 409 PPI pixel density. Upon using the Z6 Pro 5G’s panel for a fee days, we found it to be apt for high-resolution video playback. The display by default has a warmer color temperature.
So, it doesn’t strain your eyes despite being hooked to the screen for long. With a high 90Hz refresh rate, the Z6 Pro 5G’s panel delivers good gaming feedback as well. The sunlight legibility seems decent as of now. We will be testing the panel extensively and give you detailed feedback in the comprehensive review of the Z6 Pro 5G.
iQOO Z6 Pro 5G Quick Review: How’s The Hardware Performance?
While we are yet to test the iQOO Z6 Pro 5G’s power performance, our initial experience with different tasks has been good. The Z6 Pro 5G is a game-centric phone that is powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 778G processor under the hood. This premium mid-tier chipset by Qualcomm has been driving some other recent popular mid-range Android phones and is well known for its power delivery.
During our brief usage period, the iQOO Z6 5G kept lags and stutters at bay. We were able to open and use multiple tasks without any noticeable change in the performance. We have tested its performance with a handful of games such as Shadow Fight IV and Asphalt 9.
The Z6 Pro 5G’s gaming chipset with Adreno 642L GPU support did not let us down. We haven’t experienced any heat-up issues yet. But we will be testing the handset’s performance with extreme gaming going forward. As for the configurations, you can select the Z6 Pro 5G with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Our suggestion would be to go for the top-end model so that you get the maximum performance without any compromises on speed.

How much discount has the brand given to the budget OPPO A series phone? Does the new price cut make it worth buying? Here’s what we think:
OPPO A16K Gets Massive Price Cut In India
The OPPO A16K has been given a huge discount of Rs. 1,000 in India. The Chinese tech giant has axed the prices of both variants.

Samsung has been catering to the budget audience across the globe and in India with its Galaxy M and the Galaxy A series. The South Korean tech giant has refreshed both these smartphone lineups multiple times this year already and is planning to add some more devices going forward. We at Giznext have managed to get details related to the next Samsung Galaxy A series phone, i.e, the Galaxy A04s. What all features we can expect from the upcoming budget Samsung phone? Below are the details:
Samsung Galaxy A04s 5K Renders Reveal Design In Full Glory
Giznext has managed to receive the Galaxy A04s 5k renders and specifications details. Noted tipster @Onleaks (Steve Hemmerstoffer) has shared the upcoming Galaxy A series phone’s features and design. The Galaxy A04s 5K renders shows a refreshed design with a tall Infinity-V display upfront.
The budget Galaxy A series phone will have narrow bezels on three sides and a thick chin. The 5K render images also shows the placement of the volume rockers and the power key on the right panel.
The power key will integrate a fingerprint scanner for biometrics. The left panel can be seen housing the SIM card tray. It will be a dedicated slot that’ll support dual SIM and one microSD card for storage expansion. The device will measure 164.5 x 76.5 x 9.18mm in dimensions.
Moving on the Galaxy A04s’ rear panel, three camera sensors can be seen aligned vertically on the top left. The back panel seems to feature a matte surface painted in a single tone. The leaked 5K renders confirm a black color option. But we might see additional color options. Lastly, the Galaxy A04s 5K renders show the USB Type-C port sandwiched between the 3.5mm headphone jack and the speaker grille at the bottom panel.
Samsung Galaxy A04s Specifications (Expected)
As per our source, Samsung will be packing the Galaxy A04s with a 6.5-inch display. The tipster has not confirmed the screen resolution and refresh rate that the Galaxy A04s’ display will offer. However, we expect the display to offer a standard 720p HD+ screen resolution and 60Hz refresh rate.
Unfortunately, we have not got the details related to the camera specifications (both selfie and the rear module). But we will share all the information once available. Just for reference, its predecessor, i.e, the Galaxy A03s shipped with a 13MP triple camera module. Whether or not Samsung upgrades the primary camera on the Galaxy A04s would be interesting to see.
Samsung is expected to upgrade the Galaxy A04s hardware compared to the previous-gen model. The chipset could be the primary difference. The Galaxy A03s was introduced with the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset. It remains to be seen if Samsung opts for an entry-level MediaTek chipset to power the latest Galaxy A series phone or opts for a Qualcomm or Unisoc series SoC.
