Samsung has launched the Galaxy A26 5G in India as a budget-friendly option in its A-series lineup. The phone starts at ₹24,999 and comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, offering a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 1,000 nits, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. It features a waterdrop-style Infinity-U notch, which houses a 13MP front camera.
The device is powered by the Exynos 1380 processor, the same chip used in the Galaxy A35 (2023). It includes up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, expandable up to 2TB via a microSD card. The 5,000mAh battery supports 25W charging.
The rear camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. The A26 runs on One UI 7 based on Android 15 and promises six years of security updates, which is uncommon at this price point. It also includes Samsung’s AI features like Circle to Search and Object Eraser.
The phone has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, and NFC support for contactless payments. Weighing 200 grams and measuring 7.7mm in thickness, the phone remains relatively slim given its battery size.
