Samsung has announced the release of three new mid-range smartphones today: the Galaxy A26, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A56. While the latter two devices are expected to attract the most attention, the Galaxy A26 offers a range of features that should not be overlooked.

The Galaxy A26 comes with several standout features, including a sleek, premium design, Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both the front and back, and an IP67 certification for water and dust resistance. The device runs on Android 15 with One UI 7, and Samsung promises six years of Android, One UI, and security updates, ensuring longevity for users.

The phone also boasts Awesome Intelligence, an exclusive mobile AI tool available across the entire A-series range. This AI suite includes powerful, user-friendly tools for enhanced search and visual experiences, such as Google’s upgraded Circle to Search feature, which makes it easier to search for phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs directly from the phone’s screen. Circle to Search now also allows users to identify songs instantly, whether they’re playing on social media or through nearby speakers.

While the Galaxy A36 and A56 are also part of this launch, they stand out due to their larger 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED displays, offering a higher quality, immersive viewing experience. With brightness levels of up to 1200 nits and new stereo speakers for richer sound, these devices are tailored for entertainment enthusiasts.

The Galaxy A26 will be available at a more affordable price point, making it an attractive option for users looking for premium features at a lower cost. The prices in key markets are as follows:

USA: 256GB variant for $299.99
