Samsung Unveils AI-Powered Budget-Friendly Phones
New Features and Upgrades
Samsung has announced the launch of its latest budget-friendly phones, the Galaxy A56, A36, and A26, which come with "awesome intelligence" features, enabling AI-powered image editing capabilities similar to those found in its pricier S25 lineup. One of these features is Best Face, an AI tool that allows users to swap the facial expressions of up to five people in a motion photo, in case someone blinks or looks away from the camera.
Design and Display
In addition to the new AI features, Samsung has made some minor design tweaks to each phone. The devices now have the same 6.7-inch full HD Plus display with an up to 120Hz refresh rate, a larger screen than the 6.6-inch display on the A55 and A35, and 6.5 inches on the A25. The A56, A36, and A26 also have similar camera configurations, with a 12MP ultrawide sensor, 50MP main camera, and 5MP macro camera.
Performance and Battery Life
The A56 comes with an upgraded Exynos 1580 chip, while the A36 has a last-gen Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip. All three A-series devices have a 5,000 mAh battery, but only the A56 and A36 support 45W charging and come with a "larger vapor chamber" to improve performance. The A26, on the other hand, does not support fast charging.
Availability and Pricing
The Galaxy A56 will be available in the US "later this year" for $499, while the A36 will be available exclusively at Best Buy starting at $399 on March 26th. The A26 will launch on March 28th for $299. The Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 will also be available in the UK on March 19th for £499, £399, and £299, respectively.
