While other parts of the world will get their hands on the Galaxy A56 later this month, phone shoppers in the U.S. will have two other midrange Samsung phones to choose from if they're looking for devices that offer a few premium features without lofty flagship price tags. The Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26 hit retail shelves at the end of March, and they seem designed to give value-minded customers a chance to experience AI-powered features for less.
Artificial intelligence has been a major focus for phone makers in general and Samsung in particular. So far, Samsung has focused its Galaxy AI efforts on flagship devices like the recently released Galaxy S25 range, while limiting midrange Galaxy A phones to a handful of AI tools like Circle to Search. That's changing in a big way with this year's Galaxy A models, starting with the U.S. release of the Galaxy A36 and A26.
