Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A26 5G is inching closer to its official launch. Now the support pages for the device have gone live in several markets, including the UK, Ireland, and Latin America. This follows earlier sightings of the phone on several certification platforms including BIS, TUV Rheinland, and Bluetooth SIG.
While the support pages don’t reveal much information about the device itself, they strongly suggest that the Galaxy A26 5G could debut soon, possibly alongside the Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A56 in March. For reference, the Galaxy A25 5G was announced back in December 2023.
The support pages, spotted on Samsung’s regional websites, don’t explicitly mention the Galaxy A26 5G by name. However, they list the model number SM-A26B/DS, which has been previously linked to the A26 in Bluetooth SIG listings. This confirms that the device is indeed the Galaxy A26 5G.
Galaxy A26 5G rumored specifications:
Based on previous leaks and rumors, the Galaxy A26 5G is expected to feature a 6.64-inch or 6.7-inch display with a waterdrop notch design. The screen will likely support FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the phone could be powered by an overclocked version of the Exynos 1280 chipset, though some rumors suggest it might feature the Exynos 2400e SoC instead.
For those unfamiliar, the Exynos 2400e is a slightly downclocked version of the flagship Exynos 2400, and it powers the more premium Galaxy S24 FE. So, it’s less likely that Samsung will use this chip to power a device that is expected to offer a water-drop notch in 2025. It could be paired with up to 8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage.
Now here’s another surprise: according to a previous report, the phone could pack a battery smaller than its predecessor—4,565mAh down from 5,000.
On the software front, it will likely run Android 15-based One UI 7, similar to the recently launched Galaxy S25 series. However, don’t expect the AI features as part of the Android 15-based skin.
