Not to mention, the version Samsung gave for LATAM is a literal scam.

Last year, the A35 was the cheapest Samsung phone with IP rating. Now, the A26 has IP67, and even the A06 has IP54. So it's good that this features no longer requires a premium. And it's good that Samsung is finally trickling down quad A78 cores to lower models. Here's hoping the next A17 can finally graduate from the ancient dual A76 cores.

The A06 is just a rebadged of the A05 theyre practically the same device
The A16 is also just the A15 with longer promised supported OS
Now the A26 this is just the A25 basically but with the A35 chipset and thats it, only the chipset, the body itself is just the A25 rebadged anew

Hear, hear.
+2
To be more blunt, it's not just an easy skip, just get the A25 while supplies last.
And it's also cheaper.

3.5mm headphone jack:
A25 = ✔️
A26 = ❌
Loudspeaker with Stereo:
A25 = ✔️
A26 = ❌
Of course GSM Arena intentionally skipped those.

This article is a joke. No word about the main difference: 3.5mm jack.

This review missed something. galaxy A26 does not have a headphone jack aswell. So if that matters to you, the A25 is the one to choose.

M series selling point used to be spec and battery. It doesn't have any of those anymore today. I'd say better get rid of M series.

The A26 can barely be considered an upgrade, and actually for people in LATAM it's an easy downgrade.
In my opinion since neither the A25, nor the A26 are fast phones, and neither are on the too slow side either, and IP ratings mean absolutely nothing because there is no warranty against water damage and even a phone without an IP rating can survive water, the same way a phone with an IP rating may not survive, the A25 is a better buy, even if it's 10-20 usd more expensive than the A26 somehow, otherwise just get the A35 or the A55.
This "new" Ax6 line is an easy skip.

Just kill this series and replace it with the M3x or anything else viable. The A2x is getting pointless.

Samsung can only compare with Samsung. If they compare with other brands, they themself prove that they are scrap.
