Samsung has officially announced the launch event for its latest Galaxy A series smartphones, scheduled for March 2, coinciding with the MWC 2025 event. 

The company is expected to announce three new devices: the Galaxy A26, A36, and A56, expanding its popular mid-range lineup.

Samsung Galaxy A56 specifications

Samsung Galaxy A56 will be the most advanced model in the lineup. It features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset and running on Android 15, the Galaxy A56 comes with 8GB of RAM for smooth performance.

Moreover, the smartphone includes a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 5MP macro shooter, and a 12MP front camera. The device also equips a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and an IP67 water and dust resistance rating.

The expected price of the Samsung Galaxy A56 is around €479 (approximately Rs140,000).

Samsung Galaxy A36 specifications

The Galaxy A36 offers similar features to the A56, with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED 120Hz display. However, it runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset and provides 6GB or 8GB RAM options.

The camera setup mirrors the A56 but downgrades the ultrawide sensor to 8MP. Other features include a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, an IP67 rating, and an under-display fingerprint scanner.

Moreover, the estimated price of the Samsung Galaxy A36 is €379 (approximately Rs110,000).

Samsung Galaxy A26 specifications

The Galaxy A26 is the most affordable model in the series. It has a 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display but features a notch design. Powered by the Exynos 1380 chipset, it includes a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 13MP front camera.

While it has a 5,000mAh battery, charging speed is limited to 25W. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor and IP67 rating ensure durability. The expected price is €299 (approximately Rs87,000).

Samsung has also opened registrations for the live event, hinting at a global release. More details will be confirmed at the official launch next week.
