At the beginning of this week, Samsung revealed plans to soon launch the Galaxy M16 5G and Galaxy M06 5G in India. Although a specific date for the release has not yet been disclosed, the company has released a new teaser indicating that the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 will be unveiled shortly. While the teaser does not explicitly confirm the names of the devices, it implies that these models are successors to the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35. Some design features and expected software specifications of the upcoming phones have also been hinted at. The anticipation for the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 was teased in a video on X. The titles for these devices have not been officially stated, but the recurring use of the word "Awesome" suggests they are indeed the successors to the Galaxy A55 and A35.
According to the teaser, the soon-to-be-launched Samsung smartphones will offer six years of operating system updates. The Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 are projected to feature One UI 7, based on Android 15. The teaser video also showcases the central frame of the new devices, highlighting the side of the Key Island which accommodates the power button and volume control. More details about the smartphones are expected to emerge soon. Previous rumors indicate that the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 might be released in India around March. Their support pages were also found earlier. The Samsung Galaxy A56 is likely to incorporate an Exynos 1580 SoC, while the Galaxy A36 could be equipped with either a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC or a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, both expected to support 45W wired fast charging.
In terms of camera specifications, the Samsung Galaxy A56 may feature a triple-camera system on the rear, consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel sensor, and a 5-megapixel sensor. For selfies, it is anticipated to include a 12-megapixel front camera. In contrast, the Galaxy A36 is expected to have similar front and primary cameras, in addition to a 5-megapixel macro sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
