Samsung mid-tier lineup for the year is finally here. The A56 is the headlining act, going straight up against the iPhone 16e, but $100 cheaper. Here's how the devices compare.

The battle of the best budget phones has three new contenders, all hailing from Samsung’s latest Galaxy A series.

In a recent announcement spotted by Android Authority, Samsung India stated that three new Galaxy A series phones are coming next week. Alongside the announcement, Samsung released a video regarding the new devices. While none of the models are named, Samsung says that two of the devices are successors to the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55.

With advanced AI features and improved build quality, Samsung's Galaxy A26 5G, A36 5G, and A56 5G show what affordable hardware is capable of.

Samsung just announced its new budget phones that are more affordable than Apple’s new iPhone 16e, and they pack more cameras, too.

Samsung will launch the first Galaxy A phones of 2025 on March 2, and all clues point to what they will be the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36.

Samsung expects to ship more than a million units of its A series phones to Australia this year which will start at under $500.
