Many times I have passed on feedback re: no SDslot = no sale but it seems to be ignored, or only included with the most basic models and chipsets. Yes, I understand to pros of cloud storage but it's less useful when you're outside range of reception. IMO nothing beats the convenience of just swapping out an SD to me, especially when you have a faulty screen and can't unlock the device.

I understand the hate for removing the stereo speakers, but the A26 literally has pretty.much the same performance CPU wise as the A36. The A36 is the real underperformer of the Samsung mid-rangers, but Samsung needs to up its game and stop believing that AI gimmicks will save them from being uncompetitive spec wise and price wise.

Samsung missed out on the opportunity to shame the iPhone 16e. The missing stereo speakers (from last year) is the cherry on top.

It's pretty simple, you can get better phones in every department for the same price, if you wanna waste money on this be my guest, think we found who you're talking about though.

Budget is A1x, A0x. And before those, the J lineup was mostly budget.
A series has always been midrange, with 3 models (low, mid, high). Easier than ever to notice now that they cut several other models of this lineup. A2x (low), A3x (mid), A5x (high), or so goes the idea but we know how much Samsung loves to sell the same thing every year.
Anyways, aside from meh, they dropped the headphone jack, so another nail in the coffin for Samsung. They cut their production costs and want you to "pay" extra to use their earbuds due to a problem they themselves created.

Kind of sad how poco x7 pro is around the price of A26 but beats out even A56 and is competitive against 24 FE.

Samsung really need to up their game now, and I say that as a current user of their devices. I'm very much looking at alternatives for my next device if they don't step it up.
