Samsung has officially launched the latest additions to its Galaxy A series—Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G, and Galaxy A26 5G—bringing next-level AI-powered features, enhanced durability, and top-tier security to a wider audience. This marks a major leap forward for the A series, integrating Galaxy’s innovative "Awesome Intelligence" for the first time, making creativity and efficiency more accessible than ever.
The new Galaxy A series introduces Awesome Intelligence, an exclusive suite of AI-driven tools powered by One UI 7. These features are designed to elevate everyday tasks, from seamless search capabilities to intelligent photo editing. With Galaxy’s signature AI now available on these devices, users can expect a smoother, more engaging mobile experience.
Tae Sun Lee, CEO of Samsung Electronics West Africa, highlighted the brand’s vision:
"The Galaxy A series plays a key role in our mission to bring AI to everyone. With these new features, we are empowering more users to unlock their creativity while ensuring a safe, secure, and enjoyable smartphone experience."
One of the standout AI features is Google’s enhanced Circle to Search, allowing users to instantly identify and interact with information on their screen. Whether it’s a phone number, an email address, or even a URL, a simple tap enables quick access and action.
Speaking at the launch event in Lagos, Oge Maduagwu, Head of Marketing at Samsung Electronics West Africa, emphasized the feature’s impact:
"With the latest enhancements, Circle to Search now extends beyond visual recognition. Users can identify songs playing on their phone or nearby speakers with just a tap, making music discovery effortless."
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Galaxy A series’ upgraded camera systems. Each model boasts a powerful 50MP main sensor, while the Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G take things further with 10-bit HDR front lens recording for crystal-clear selfies.
For group photos, the exclusive "Best Face" feature on the Galaxy A56 5G ensures that everyone looks their best by seamlessly combining the best expressions from a motion photo. Night photography also gets a major boost with Low Noise Mode, enhancing low-light shots for vivid and detailed results.
Stephen Okwara, Head of Product Management at Samsung Electronics West Africa, highlighted the power of AI-driven photo editing:
"The refined Object Eraser allows users to remove unwanted elements from their photos with ease. Whether it’s a passerby or an unexpected shadow, users can clean up their images effortlessly, achieving a polished final result."
Battery life is a priority, and the new Galaxy A series delivers with a robust 5,000mAh battery across all models. The A56 5G and A36 5G support 45W Super Fast Charge 2.0 technology, ensuring rapid charging for uninterrupted usage.
Performance is equally impressive, with the Galaxy A56 5G powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset and the A36 5G featuring the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. A larger vapor chamber system keeps temperatures in check, optimizing performance for gaming, video streaming, and multitasking.
Samsung is raising the bar in durability with IP67-rated water and dust resistance, now extended to the Galaxy A26 5G for the first time. The use of advanced Corning Glass further enhances scratch and impact resistance, making these devices tougher than ever.
Security is another major focus, with Samsung Knox Vault providing an extra layer of protection against threats. Coupled with One UI 7’s latest security updates—including Theft Detection and enhanced privacy settings—users can enjoy a worry-free mobile experience.
With up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, plus six years of security updates, the Galaxy A series ensures long-term reliability. This commitment to longevity makes the A56 5G, A36 5G, and A26 5G not just smartphones but future-proof investments in cutting-edge technology.
