I got to meet two of the three new Galaxy A-series phones Samsung is introducing in 2025; the Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A56 (there’s also a Galaxy A26, which wasn’t shown off at the event). While the company’s mid-range phone line may not command the same degree of bombast as its flagship Galaxy S25 series,

Samsung says the A36 and A56 have a larger vapor chamber cooling system for better heat dissipation during intense processing activities like gaming, and that this system is nearly the same size as last year's Galaxy S24+. They also support 45-watt fast charging, which should get you up to 70 percent in 30 minutes.

Samsung Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26 launched in India with 6 years of OS upgrades. (Samsung) Samsung has officially launched its new generation A series smartphones, the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26 globally.
