Samsung Electronics Company has unveiled the Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A26 5G smartphones. For the first time, the Galaxy A Series is integrating Awesome Intelligence — including AI-powered features to reimagine creativity — while bringing a safe and long-lasting mobile experience.
“The new Galaxy A Series marks an important step in our mission of AI for all, by opening Galaxy’s incredible mobile AI experiences to even more people around the world,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics.
“With these awesome new features and capabilities, we are excited to unlock limitless creativity on the Galaxy A Series while ensuring a safe, reliable and fun mobile experience.”
Awesome Intelligence is the first comprehensive mobile AI exclusively available on Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A26 5G. Powered by One UI 7, the new Awesome Intelligence features bring new search and visual experiences to Galaxy A Series users.
A fan-favourite on Galaxy A Series devices last year, Google’s enhanced Circle to Search1 makes it easier than ever to search and discover from the phone’s screen. With the latest upgrades, users can now get even more done on their phone. Circle to Search will quickly recognise phone numbers, email addresses and URLs on the screen.
With the recent enhancements to Circle to Search, users can also instantly name the songs they hear without switching apps. Whether it’s a song playing on social media from their phone or music that’s playing from speakers near them, a long-press on the navigation bar and a tap on the music button prompts Circle to Search to identify the song name and artist.
The Galaxy A Series also takes the camera experience to a new level with creator-focused tools, starting with a triple-camera system featuring a 50 MP main lens on all devices and 10-bit HDR front lens recording on Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G for selfies. The Galaxy A56 5G features a 12 MP ultra-wide lens, while the entire Galaxy A Series empowers creativity with intelligent visual editing.
Exclusively available on Galaxy A56 5G, Best Face2 makes it easier than ever to capture the perfect group shot by selecting and combining the best expressions or features for up to five people from a motion photo. Whether or not someone has blinked or looked away, Best Face ensures everyone looks his/her best. The Galaxy A56 5G also brings enhancements to Nightography, with Low Noise Mode making its way to the 12 MP selfie camera and additional wide camera support to capture stunning content in low-light settings.
Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A26 5G all support the Object Eraser3, allowing users to remove unwanted distractions from photos. Users can manually or automatically select objects to erase. Additionally, Filters4 enables custom filter creation by extracting colours and styles from existing photos.
The Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G also introduce a larger display created for a high-quality, immersive viewing experience. Both devices feature a 6.7"5 FHD+ Super AMOLED display with brightness levels reaching up to 1,200 nits6. New stereo speakers further enhance the experience with rich, balanced sound.
With a long-lasting 5,000 mAh (typical) battery7, the new Galaxy A series Series is designed to keep up with users' daily routines. Enjoy movie marathons for up to 29 hours on a single charge on the Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy 36 5G. Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G support 45 W charging power and Super Fast Charge 2.0 technology. Both models also deliver enhanced performance, as Galaxy A56 5G is powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset and Galaxy A36 5G features the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform.
Beyond performance, the new Galaxy A Series is built to withstand life’s unpredictable moments. For the first time, Galaxy A26 5G features an IP67 dust and water resistance rating for strong protection against the elements, matching the IP67 rating on Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A56 5G8. Additionally, an advanced Corning Glass cover material adds a layer of durability against scratches and cracks9.
Now with up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades and six years of security updates, the Galaxy A Series further reinforces its software longevity.
Thanks to the integration of One UI 7 on the Galaxy A Series for the first time, Samsung is further supporting robust security and privacy. With Samsung Knox Vault, the Galaxy A Series provides an extra, fortified layer of device safety, transparency and user choice – ensuring sensitive data always stays protected. Equipped with the latest One UI 7 security and privacy features, Galaxy A Series users benefit from holistic protection — including enhancements in Theft Detection, More Security Settings and other features.10
