 By Vaibhav Jain on September 25, 2017       

Samsung a little few month ago announced its flagship phones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ with gorgeous dual curved Infinity displays. Samsung has now brought it to the Galaxy Note series as well with its Galaxy Note 8.

According to the latest leaks, Samsung plans to bring its Infinity display to mid-range smartphones. The leak came from reputed Samsung tipster, mmddj_china on his Twitter handle revealing that the Galaxy A (2018) series will feature Infinity Display.

We've seen LG doing wonders with its mid-tier Q6 series. Of course, Samsung is saving the Next Galaxy A series for the year 2018. Additionally, Samsung could implement the fingerprint sensor on the back, slightly below from the camera like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus.

The A7 (2018) is going to be powered by an unknown 2.1GHz octa-core processor with Mali-G71 GPU, 4GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system.

Just like its predecessor, the Galaxy A7 (2018) will sport a 16-megapixel rear and 16-megapixel front-facing camera. That said, the device will likely feature IP68 water and dust resistance.

That said, all these are just rumors, so take them with a grain of salt.
