In a world where technology advances by leaps and bounds, Samsung has just unveiled its new Galaxy A56 5G, A36 5G, and A26 5G smartphones, three devices that promise to democratize artificial intelligence (AI) and offer innovative tools for everyday life. With a focus on accessibility, the South Korean brand has integrated features that, in their words, "unleash creativity and protect what matters most.
Design made for the hands and the heart
The Galaxy A 2025 series arrives with an elegant and functional redesign. The three models adopt a minimalist style, with vertically aligned cameras—inspired by the premium Galaxy S range—that not only look good but also improve grip.
The A56 5G, for example, surprises with a satin metal frame that conveys robustness, while the A36 5G opts for lightweight polycarbonate without sacrificing durability.
But the real leap is made by the A26 5G: for the first time in its price range, it includes IP67 certification, ideal for those who live between accidental splashes or rainy days.
We want technology to adapt to people, not the other way around, highlighted TM Roh, president of Samsung, during the presentation.
Screens visible even under the sun
The three devices share a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, perfect for smooth scrolling through social media or watching series with vivid colors.
Additionally, they shine up to 1,900 nits outdoors, a relief for those who struggle with glare under the sun. Vision Booster technology automatically adjusts the contrast, something movie lovers on the subway will appreciate.
AI that understands (and simplifies) life
The star of this generation is the Awesome Intelligence, a set of AI-powered tools. For example, by holding down the navigation bar, the phone identifies songs in seconds, like built-in Shazam. It also recognizes phone numbers or emails on the screen, avoiding manual copy and paste.
In photography, AI not only corrects — it removes unwanted objects with the Rubber Object— but also captures unique moments.
The A56 5G includes "Best Face," ideal for group portraits: it selects the best expression of each person in a sequence, without fabricating faces. "It's like having a personal editor in your pocket," says Carla, a beta user interviewed.
For the nights, the function Nightography reduces noise in dark photos, while the A56's 12 MP front camera shines with details even in poorly lit bars.
Performance that lasts (almost) all day
With 5,000 mAh batteries, the Galaxy A promises to last through intense days. The A56 and A36 models charge up to 65 in 30 minutes with their 45W, and the cooling system with a vapor chamber — 15 larger — prevents overheating during gaming sessions Call of Duty Mobile.
In security, Samsung Knox Vault protects biometric data and passwords, while update support extends to six years (seven for the Enterprise edition of the A56). "It is a guarantee that the phone will age with you," explains Marco, a cybersecurity technician.

The series arrives in Europe in March 2025, with juicy promotions:
