Samsung Galaxy A18 Leaked: Thicker Body Signals Larger Battery

Owen Carter 2 min read

Leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy A18 show a thicker 7.84mm body and vertical triple camera, suggesting a larger battery for the upcoming budget phone.

Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy A18, and the leaked render images suggest a design that prioritizes battery life over aesthetic novelty. Buyers looking for a durable, long-lasting budget phone should note that the chassis is slightly thicker than its predecessor, which likely translates to more days between charges. This design change suggests a focus on battery life over slimness for the entry-level model.

Leaked renders reveal a slightly thicker chassis that likely accommodates a larger power cell for the budget smartphone.

The device retains the Infinity U display format found on the Galaxy A17, maintaining the familiar notch layout at the top of the screen. The front panel features thick bezels around the display. We have been tracking Galaxy A18 closely — see our earlier coverage on Samsung Galaxy A18 5G Switches to.

Galaxy A18 Leaked Specifications

  • Dimensions: 164.4 x 77.8 x 7.84mm (9.74mm with camera bump)
  • Display: Infinity U
  • Camera Configuration: Vertical pill shape with three sensors
  • Connectivity: USB Type-C
  • Battery (Expected): 6,000mAh (unconfirmed)

Physical dimensions for the Galaxy A18 measure 164.4 x 77.8 x 7.84mm, with the camera bump adding an extra 1.9mm to reach 9.74mm at its thickest point. This 7.84mm body thickness exceeds the 7.5mm profile of the Galaxy A17, a difference that provides internal space for a larger power cell. The rear camera system sits in a vertical pill-shaped island housing three sensors, while the bottom edge includes a single speaker slit, a microphone hole, and a USB Type-C port.

A larger battery capacity appears likely given the increased chassis thickness, though Samsung has not yet confirmed the exact specifications. The Galaxy M47 shares a similar 7.8mm thickness and reportedly uses a 6,000mAh cell, leading analysts to expect the A18 to match that capacity. An unconfirmed 6,000mAh battery capacity is expected based on the device's increased thickness.

Samsung has not announced a release date for the Galaxy A18, leaving the market waiting for official confirmation of the launch timeline. The current information relies entirely on leaked render images from OnLeaks and Smartphone Checker, which show a device that is functionally similar to the A17. Until Samsung provides official details, the battery capacity and launch window remain speculative.
