Samsung’s Galaxy A series will expand soon. Probably in March, Samsung plans to debut the midrange Galaxy A36 and A56. The rumor mill has been trying to put together the spec sheet for both of these phones, especially the Galaxy A36, but it has come up empty so far. We hit a lucky break yesterday when the Geekbench updated its database with Samsung Galaxy A36’s listing.
SM-A366U is the American Galaxy A36 5G and Geekbench shows its performance, reveals the SoC, RAM capacity, and even the Android version. The benchmark puts down the Galaxy A36's single-core test for 967 points. It does even better in multicore tests with 2750 points.
These results were possible thanks to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC at its helm. Four of the chip’s cores peak at a high 2.4GHz frequency and the rest of its efficiency cores clock at 1.8GHz. The scorecard doesn’t mention the chipset by name, but the architecture follows only one chip, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip.
Geekbench tested the 6 GB variant of Galaxy A36 in this benchmark. As the listing shows, the Samsung A latest model will boot up to an Android 15 x One UI 7 OS. The onset of this UI version will begin with the Galaxy S25 series, and every Galaxy phone after that might use the same version.
Details revealed by Geekbench end here. Most of the other info about the new Samsung A35 sibling comes from the rumor mill. It’s speculated that the A36 will use a 50 MP main camera, 8 MP ultrawide, and a 5 MP macro unit on the back. The selfie camera upgrade is likely, but there are no specifics yet. Galaxy A36’s expected price is around $400 (~PKR 111,000).
