Samsung Launches the New Galaxy A Series Smartphones
LONDON, U.K. – March 1, 2025 – Samsung Electronics has just introduced three new smartphones: the Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G, and Galaxy A26 5G. This new lineup marks a significant upgrade for the Galaxy A series, boasting a feature called Awesome Intelligence. This first-ever integration of AI technology aims to redefine how users create and interact with their devices, all while enhancing durability and security for a trustworthy user experience, whether for everyday tasks or business use.
“With the latest Galaxy A series, we aim to bring advanced mobile AI experiences to a larger audience,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to enhance creativity with these innovative features and also ensure that mobile experiences remain safe and enjoyable.”
Introducing Awesome Intelligence
AI-Powered Features for Enhanced Creativity
The new Galaxy A series brings Awesome Intelligence, a set of mobile AI tools designed specifically for users of the Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G, and Galaxy A26 5G. These tools, powered by One UI 7, significantly improve search capabilities and visual features for a better user experience.
One of the standout features is Google’s Circle to Search. This useful tool enables users to quickly search for phone numbers, email addresses, and web links displayed on their screens with just one tap. Now, searching for a song that’s playing around you is equally easy. Simply long-press the navigation bar and tap the music button to identify any song without switching apps, whether it’s from social media or nearby speakers.
Enhanced Camera Experience
The camera functionality has also seen notable improvements. Each model in the Galaxy A series features a triple-camera system with a 50MP main lens, allowing for stunning photos. The Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G even have 10-bit HDR front cameras for sharp and vibrant selfies.
One unique feature exclusive to the Galaxy A56 5G is Best Face, which helps you create the perfect group photo by selecting the best expressions from multiple people in a single shot. No more worries about someone blinking! If you’re taking nighttime photos, the Nightography feature enhances low-light photography with improved performance, ensuring your pictures look great even in dim settings.
Bringing Durability and Longevity
Upgraded Displays and Software Support
Samsung emphasizes the long-lasting nature of the new Galaxy A series smartphones. The devices now support six generations of Android OS and One UI updates, along with six years of security updates to ensure the devices remain relevant and secure for years.
The Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G come with a high-quality 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display that can reach brightness levels up to 1200 nits, enhancing your viewing experience. With new stereo speakers included, you can enjoy rich audio while watching videos or playing games.
Battery Life and Performance
Each model is equipped with a robust 5,000mAh battery, ready to support users throughout their day. The Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G support rapid charging with 45W power, which is perfect for users who need quick top-ups.

Built to Withstand Challenges
