Soon after the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is expected to release its next generation of mid-range devices, the Galaxy A36 and A56, likely within the first quarter of 2025. This follows the release pattern we saw earlier this year, when Samsung launched the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 in March, shortly after the Galaxy S24 series debuted in mid-January. A recent report from GalaxyClub now reveals the first camera specifications for the Galaxy A36, hinting at improvements and changes that will interest Samsung fans.
Camera specifications of the Galaxy A36
The Galaxy A36 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel main rear camera, similar to what the current Galaxy A35 offers. However, the most notable upgrade is on the front of the device, where Samsung has reportedly equipped the Galaxy A36 with a 12-megapixel selfie camera, replacing the previous 13-megapixel one. While this might seem a slight downgrade, the source notes that the sensor could be a “clear improvement compared to the old 13 MP sensor that Samsung used for the previous A3x devices”.
Interestingly, Samsung appears to be differentiating between the A36 and the A56, as the 12-megapixel front camera on the A36 is not expected to be the same as the 12-megapixel sensor on the A56. This decision keeps a quality distinction between the two models, maintaining the A56 as the slightly more premium option in the Galaxy A lineup.
As for the macro and ultrawide cameras, specific details remain unknown. However, it’s expected that Samsung will keep these lenses consistent with last year’s model, which is a 5-megapixel macro and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. This incremental approach would align with Samsung’s pattern of upgrading one or two camera components each year.
Other expected features and design changes
In addition to camera specs, unofficial images of the Galaxy A36 have leaked, suggesting a possible design change. The A36 may feature a more defined camera island, instead of individual lenses protruding directly from the back, giving it a more cohesive look.
Furthermore, the Galaxy A36 has made several appearances on Geekbench, indicating it will be powered by a Qualcomm processor—likely the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or 7s Gen 2. The benchmarked models have shown 6 GB of RAM and are expected to run Android 15, bringing performance optimizations and the latest software experience. While pricing details are still unknown, it’s expected to be in the range of previous models, likely between €350 and €400, keeping it competitive within the mid-range market.
