Galaxy A18 renders suggest Samsung is sticking to a winning formula

• Galaxy A18 leak points to an almost unchanged design, with Samsung making only minor tweaks to the camera housing while keeping the familiar 6.7-inch Infinity-U display.
• The biggest upgrade may be under the hood, with the Galaxy A18 5G rumored to ditch Exynos for a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip.
• Size changes are barely noticeable, as the A18 is only 0.1mm narrower and 0.34mm thicker than the Galaxy A17.

Samsung’s next budget Galaxy phone is beginning to take shape, but if you were hoping for a dramatic redesign, you may want to lower your expectations. A fresh set of CAD renders of the Galaxy A18 has now surfaced, and the device looks almost identical to the predecessor with a few changes.

The renders, shared by Smartphone Checker in collaboration with well-known leaker OnLeaks, are reportedly based on factory CAD files used by accessory makers before launch. These files don’t necessarily show final colors or finishes but are generally considered reliable for dimensions, button placement, and the overall shape of a device.
