2025 is expected to be the year when Samsung’s Galaxy A series finally embraces a more advanced 45W wired charging option, especially for the higher-end models like the A56 5G and possibly the A36 5G.
A26 5G Charging Standards
On the other hand, the A26 5G may not get this upgrade and could stick with the usual 25W charging standard. Still, it’s rumored to feature a design update that brings it in line with the A-series, showcasing a triple rear camera bump similar to that found in the premium Galaxy Z Fold6.
New Features and Pricing
The new A26 5G, which will succeed the A25 5G (currently priced at $199.99 on Amazon), is expected to have a refreshed rear panel but will likely have an older display based on recent renders that align with past leaks.
Confirmation of Releases
The phone’s existence has seemingly been validated through recent listings on the Bluetooth SIG website, linking the Galaxy A26 5G to three model numbers: SM-A266V, SM-A266U, and SM-A266U1, indicating a potential release in the US market.
The A26 5G is also recognized as the SM-A266B/DS by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been spotted under various names, including SM-A266B, SM-A266M/DS, and SM-A266M in new TÜV Rheinland documents, which might also confirm its 25W specifications.
Market Expansion
This suggests that the smartphone is likely making its way to the Indian market, and possibly other regions as well. However, there are no details yet regarding when this updated model will actually launch there.
