Samsung Teases Galaxy A56 And A36, Hints At 6 OS Updates

Samsung has released a teaser video for its upcoming Galaxy A56 and A36 smartphones, suggesting that both devices may receive six OS updates—an improvement over the four updates provided for last year’s A55 and A35. If confirmed, this would bring the 2025 A-series closer to Samsung’s premium S and Z lineups, which typically receive seven years of updates.

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A06 5G in India and is now expected to introduce the Galaxy A56 and A36, with a possible launch of the Galaxy A26 as well. However, the teaser video does not showcase the new models or confirm their release date. Samsung India’s official X (formerly Twitter) account has also remained silent on the exact timeline.

Leaks suggest that the Galaxy A56 and A36 will feature a redesigned camera island. In terms of specifications, the A56 is expected to run on the Exynos 1580, while the A36 will be powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. Both devices are expected to have 6.6-inch OLED displays, 5,000mAh batteries, and support for 45W fast charging.

Samsung is also preparing to launch the Galaxy M16 and M06 5G, but details on their exact release dates remain unclear. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A26 has been certified by India’s BIS, indicating that it is close to launch, though the focus remains on the more popular A56 and A36. With these upcoming releases, Samsung is strengthening its mid-range lineup, offering improved longevity and performance to a large customer base.
