Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy A18 4G technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy A18 4G suits everyday users who want an AMOLED display and expandable storage; the trade-off is a 5,000 mAh battery and 25 W charging, both behind most phones of its time. Battery capacity and charging are its clearest compromises.

Its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display runs at 90 Hz, one of the lowest refresh rates of its time. The phone weighs 196 g, less than most phones of its time, and measures 7.7 mm thick, thinner than most. Its AnTuTu result is above average. This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage; the phone is also sold in an 8 GB / 256 GB configuration.

The camera is above average: the 50 MP main camera has optical image stabilization, alongside a 5 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera. Other features include IP64 protection, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and Android 17 with six years of OS updates. The Samsung Galaxy A18 4G has a NeoScore of 6.3. It is a fit for buyers who prioritize an AMOLED display, cameras, and expandable storage over battery capacity and charging that lag behind most phones of its time.
