Samsung Galaxy A18

The Samsung Galaxy A18 was released on 15 October 2026. It launched as part of Samsung’s Galaxy A series, bringing everyday features at an accessible price. 

The Samsung Galaxy A18 is powered by the Exynos 1610 chip. It handles everyday tasks like streaming, social media, and light gaming with ease, so you can switch between apps without frustrating lag. 

No, the Samsung Galaxy A18 doesn’t support 5G. It’s a 4G phone, so you’ll connect using 4G networks for browsing, streaming, and staying in touch. You’ll still get a solid mobile experience on our network, just without the extra speeds that 5G brings. If 5G matters to you, explore our 5G-ready phones 

The Samsung Galaxy A18 has a 5,000mAh battery built to keep up with your day. On a full charge, it’s designed to last through typical daily use, including messaging, streaming, and browsing. How long it lasts depends on how you use it, your settings, and your network, so heavier users may need to top up before the day is done. 

No, the Samsung Galaxy A18 doesn’t come with a charger. In the box, you'll find a USB-C cable, a quick start guide, a warranty card, and an ejection pin, but you’ll need to supply your own charger. Discover the latest tech accessories and find exactly what you need. 

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy A18 supports 25W fast charging, which is what Samsung calls superfast charging. This means you can top up the 5,000mAh battery much faster than with standard charging, so you spend less time plugged in and more time on the go. You’ll need a compatible 25W charger to take advantage of the faster charging speeds. If you’re in need of a new gadget, explore our collection of accessories.

The Samsung Galaxy A18 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1,080 x 2,340 FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. That means sharp, bright visuals and smooth scrolling, whether you’re watching videos, browsing social media, or playing games. The large screen gives you plenty of room to enjoy your content, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 helps keep it protected. 

Samsung Galaxy A18 has a triple rear camera setup: a 50MP wide camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Up front, there’s a 13MP camera for selfies and video calls. With features like Night Mode, Portrait Mode, and Optical Image Stabilisation, you can capture bright, clear photos and fit more into every shot using the ultra-wide lens. 

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy A18 includes Galaxy AI features. You can circle anything on your screen with Circle to Search with Google to look it up straight away and use Gemini for help with everyday tasks. However, it doesn't benefit of the full Galaxy suite featured on our flagship devices 

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy A18 supports dual SIM using two nanoSIM cards. This lets you keep two numbers on one phone, which is handy if you want to separate work and personal contacts or use a local SIM when travelling. You can switch between SIMs easily in your settings. 

No, the Samsung Galaxy A18 doesn’t support eSIM. It uses physical nanoSIM cards, with dual SIM support for two nanoSIM cards. If you prefer the ease of a digital SIM, you may want to look at one of the eSIM-compatible phones in the Vodafone range. 

No, the Samsung Galaxy A18 isn’t waterproof. With an IP64 rating, the Samsung Galaxy A18 handles dust and light water splashes. It’s built to cope with everyday spills and light rain. The water and dust resistance isn't permanent, though, and may fade over time with normal wear and tear, so the phone isn’t recommended for beach or pool use. 

No, the Samsung Galaxy A18 isn’t compatible with the S Pen. The A18 focuses on great everyday features at an accessible price, not stylus input. If S Pen-compatibility is a priority for you, check out the smartphones featured on our S Pen page 

The Samsung Galaxy A18 will receive up to six major operating system upgrades and up to six years of security updates from its first global launch date. That means your phone stays fresh and secure for years to come, with the latest features and protection against new threats.
