Samsung is about to reveal the Galaxy A36 and A56 in March, and though it’s desperately trying not to spoil anything before the big reveal, both phones were exposed on the company’s Chilean website. Galaxy A26 was also mentioned by name, among others.
We’ve found a list of devices on Samsung’s website in Chile, where detailed out-of-warranty repair prices, model numbers, and relevant product names for some older and newer handsets. In the screengrab of the list, you can also see Galaxy A26, A36, and A56, even though these phones are yet to launch.
From this vantage point, it’s hard to guess whether it was intentional or if Samsung left the details on the list by accident. We do, however, conclude that it will launch the phones in Chile and possibly other regions of the world after the Galaxy Unpacked event in mid-March 2025.
We can confirm that at least Galaxy A36 and A56, latest 5G Samsung mobiles will launch simultaneously, just as A35 and A55 did last year. It’s not official yet, but since Samsung has also delayed the Galaxy A26 launch for over two months, it could launch alongside the other two siblings as well.
Samsung has even unified the design of all three models. We’ve been seeing leak after leak, spilling details about A26, A36, and A56’s new look with the vertical camera island. These handsets let go of their usual camera triage and now use a singular module to hide all three lenses.
The design isn’t exactly innovative since that’s something Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ used to have back in 2019. But, it arguably looks better with the A36 and A56’s flat and minimal chassis. With their different ranks and price scaling, you will also see the specs and quality of the display change.
Geekbench offered us an early peek at the phone’s internals in preliminary performance tests. The Galaxy A56 has the Exynos 1580 SoC, which has been scaled up to Snapdragon 888’s level. Qualcomm gave Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip to the Galaxy A36: not as fast, but perfectly suitable for a sub-mid-range handset. The prices may not unravel until the official debut, but the rumor mill anticipates them competing with Google Pixel 9a and Nothing Phone 3a.
