Samsung is working on several new devices in its A-series lineup, and recently, we saw some exciting details emerge about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A26 smartphone. After some recent leaks surrounding the Galaxy A36 5G, today, new renders of the Galaxy A26 have been revealed, showing us a glimpse of its front and back design. Moreover, it was spotted on Geekbench with the Exynos 1280 processor, indicating that the launch of this handset might be just around the corner.
Samsung Galaxy A26 Renders Leaked
Android Headlines has shared the first official renders of the Samsung Galaxy A26. The phone features an Infinity-U display at the front, with noticeable bezels surrounding the screen. At the back, the device sports a triple-camera setup, which seems to be the highlight of the rear design. The Galaxy A26 has a slim profile, measuring 164 x 77.5 x 7.7 mm, making it thinner than its predecessor, the Galaxy A25, which had dimensions of 161 x 76.5 x 8.3 mm.
Key Features and Specifications
From the leaked renders, we also have some idea about the phone’s internal specifications:
- Processor: The Galaxy A26 is expected to be powered by the Exynos 1280 chipset, which has already appeared on benchmarking platforms like Geekbench. This processor should offer a balanced performance for a mid-range device.
- RAM & Storage: It is expected to come with 6GB of RAM, with an 8GB variant likely to be available. The phone will have ample internal storage, though exact figures are yet to be confirmed.
- Operating System: The Galaxy A26 will run on Android 15, with Samsung’s One UI custom skin, offering a smooth and feature-rich user experience.
- Camera Setup: The main rear camera is expected to be a 50MP primary sensor, supported by an 8/13MP front-facing camera for selfies. The phone will feature a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging. However, the charging brick might not be included in the box.
Software Updates
Samsung has been committed to offering extended software updates for its A-series phones, and the Galaxy A26 is likely to follow suit. While it’s unclear whether the device will receive 6 years of OS and security updates (like some other Samsung phones), this budget phone will likely get a reasonable amount of support.
Launch and Pricing
Although there is no official announcement yet from Samsung, it is speculated that the Galaxy A26 could be launched sometime in December 2024 or January 2025. Given its impressive features, including the high-quality camera, long-lasting battery, and solid performance, it is expected to be an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
