Samsung has officially announced the launch of three new mid-range smartphones under its Galaxy A series in India on March 2. These are the much anticipated Galaxy A26, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A56, which are expected to hit the global market soon after their release in India.
Interested buyers in India can already register their interest on Samsung’s official webpage. The company has also confirmed that these phones will receive an impressive six years of OS updates.
The Galaxy A26, A36, and A56 are expected to launch with Android 15-based One UI 7 out of the box, which is also impressive considering the company’s achievements in rolling out the update to older devices, including last year’s flagships S and Z series.
If Samsung keeps its promise, these upcoming mid-range devices will be updated all the way to Android 21, a significant commitment for mid-range smartphones, to say the least. Nonetheless, we think its too soon to comment on timely updates, considering the current situation.
Leaked specifications:
Leaked specifications reveal that the Galaxy A26 will feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display (up from the 6.5″ display of Galaxy A25) with a U-shaped notch. Not to mention, this design choice feels outdated compared to a punch-hole cutout, especially in 2025.
The other two models are also expected to pack slightly larger displays—6.7″ up from 6.6″. While the Galaxy A25 came with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and the successor is expected to follow the same, both the A36 and A56 likely pack under-display optical sensors for the putpos.
Under the hood, the Galaxy A36 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, while the A56 will reportedly use the Exynos 1580 processor. All three models are likely to come with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, a 5,000 mAh battery (same as their predecessors). Interestingly, both the A36 and A56 are rumored to support 45W fast charging, up from 25W of the predecessors and the same as the latest S series flagships, at least on paper. Nonetheless, expect a decent price tag for the adapter that you’ll need to buy separately. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has faced some compatibility issues with older charging accessories, both official and third-party, which I think you should check out before making a decision.
Camera-wise, the A series models are said to feature a 50MP primary camera (with OIS) and a 12MP secondary sensor.
