The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G and A56 5G have taken another step towards their anticipated release as both devices recently received certification from the Global Certification Forum (GCF).
The phones, bearing model numbers SM-A366B/DS and SM-A366B for the A36 5G, and SM-A566B/DS and SM-A566B for the A56 5G, are confirmed to support a range of network technologies, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. The GCF listing also suggests that both handsets will include NFC support, a standard feature for contactless payments and other interactions.
The A56 5G, in particular, has been making the rounds in certification circles. Prior to the GCF approval, it appeared on the FCC, SIRIM, TUV Rheinland, MIIT, TENAA, 3C, EMVCo, BIS, and Geekbench databases.
What can you expect?
According to previous reports, the Galaxy A56 will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1580 processor, reportedly clocked at 2.91 GHz, and incorporating the Xclipse 540 GPU. Android 15, layered with One UI 7, is expected to be the operating system.
Moreover, the phone could offer 8GB of RAM as the base, a triple rear camera setup, a 12MP front-facing camera, and a 4,905 mAh battery with 45W fast charging capabilities.
The A36 5G, while less extensively leaked, has also surfaced in various certifications. It has been spotted at TUV Rheinland and Geekbench, suggesting an impending launch.
It is rumored to come with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, 6GB of RAM, a 50MP triple rear camera system, and a 12MP selfie camera.
Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed launch dates for its upcoming A-series phones, but reports suggest they could debut in mid-March. Before that, the company might introduce the Galaxy F16, which has already entered its pre-launch teaser phase. The Galaxy A36 and A56 are likely to follow shortly after.
