Samsung Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 are now on sale
Samsung launched Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 with refreshed designs and promises for six years of software updates on March 1, and now the phones are up for sale.
The first market to get the phones is India, with other regions across the world to follow any moment now.

The Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 share a 6.7“ Super AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution and thin bezels. Both have a 50 MP main camera, but the A56 has a bigger sensor. It also has a more powerful Exynos 1580 chipset, while the A36 sticks to Snapdragon 6 Gen 3.

For the first time in Galaxy A history, these phones support 45W wired charging. The flagship rate (in Samsung terms, anyway) should top the 5,000 mAh battery in 68 minutes, while 30 minutes on the charger fills 66% of the capacity (which is the same on both phones).

We were able to spend some time with these mid-rangers. You should definitely check out our first impressions here.

Samsung offers Galaxy A56 in two memory variants. The 128 GB version is €479/$499, while the 256 GB is €529/£499. Galaxy A36 is naturally the more affordable model, with the 128 GB base model costing $400/£380, and 256 GB is €450/£400.

OnePlus 13R is pricier than this in official sellers, about +60% or so. Its also not available everywhere, unlike Samsung. "Just buy from local guy he sells 13R for 500 dollars" yea and he sells the A56 for 300.
