Samsung Galaxy A36 and A56 hands-on review | Infinium-tech

Introduction and Glasses

Samsung updated its mid-range model, and has a lot to go through it. The company’s latest and largest flagship devices are always fun to see, but the fact is that most users do not need such high end devices. The sales number reflects this well. Surely less exciting, the Galaxy A-series is one that rakes the volume in profits for Samsung and actually. Therefore, every new crop of equipment is important.

We got to spend a few hours with the new Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A56 and have some initial raids to share. Unfortunately, we did not have the Galaxy A26 hand, but we are sure we will take a look at it soon.

We will first start with the Galaxy A36 and work in our own way. The first things first, the new Galaxy A Trio (A26, A36 and A56) now have the same 6.7-inch display-dygonal and 1080p+ resolution. The panels are not exactly the same in all three, but the size has been integrated at the end, which represents an increase of 0.1 inch on the Galaxy A35 of the previous year. The display is asked to reach a bright of 1,200 notes in high brightness mode with 1,900 NITS peaks.

The camera island changes slightly slightly, but the camera hardware itself is the same. Samsung also preserved the battery capacity at 5,000 mAh but upgraded charging to 45W. We will go through the remaining details on the following pages.

Proceeding on the Galaxy A56, while the A36 receives a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 General 3 chipset, its high -level cybbing sports the New Samsung Axinos 1580. Samsung says that the chip should promote a large performance on the Galaxy A55. Unfortunately, rumors were not true, and A56 still has only 8GB of RAM with a pair with chipset, not 12GB.

As we said, all three phones now have a 6.7-inch display-dygonal with fullHD+ resolution. Here the display is rated for 1,200 NITs and 1,900 NIT peaks similar to regular brightness. We believe that A36 and A56 can share the same display panels. However, A26 is definitely a different because it has a selfie camera notch instead of punch hole.

Like the Galaxy A36, the A56 has a gorilla glass Victus+ on both sides, but it has an aluminum frame instead of polycarbonate. The battery capacity has not changed in 5,000 mAh, but again you get 45W charging, earlier only reserved for the flagship model.

Talking about the things that used to be more or less flagship exclusive, Samsung has actually increased the software support window for the new Galaxy A model. Both Galaxy A36 and A56 come with a promise of a six major OS updates. In addition, they launch the latest Android 15 and a UI 7 combo, Chak-Full of Galaxy AI Goodies. Even the Galaxy S24 generation has to get a UI 7 and Android 15 updates yet, so this is an interesting tightbeat.
