Samsung is gearing up to introduce the Galaxy A26 5G to the Indian market. The smartphone has recently been spotted on the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification, signalling its imminent launch. Alongside the Galaxy A26 5G, Samsung is expected to unveil other A-series models, including the Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A56 5G, in the coming weeks.
BIS certification hints at the Indian variant
The Galaxy A26 5G was identified on BIS with the model number SM-A266B/DS. This confirms that the device will feature dual-SIM support and an Indian-specific variant. Such certifications often precede a launch, suggesting that the Galaxy A26 5G will soon hit the Indian market.
Expected specifications and features
The Galaxy A26 5G is tipped to feature a 6.64- or 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This display size promises an immersive viewing experience, catering to both entertainment and productivity needs.
Under the hood, the device may be powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2400e SoC, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. However, a Geekbench listing points to an overclocked variant of the Exynos 1280 SoC, creating some speculation about the final chipset.
The smartphone will run on Android 15 out of the box, ensuring the latest software experience. Additionally, it will pack a 4,565mAh battery, offering substantial battery life for daily tasks and entertainment.
Recent leaks show that the Galaxy A26 5G will be 164 x 77.5 x 7.7 mm and weigh 209 g. This slim form makes it easy to hold and use. The back will have a set of three cams, but more on their specs is yet to come. Samsung will also launch the Galaxy A36 5G and A56 5G soon. These new phones will roll out in many lands, India too. This shows Samsung’s goal to add to its mid-range line and win in tight phone markets.
Conclusion
The Galaxy A26 5G’s BIS certification and other listings hint at a feature-packed mid-range smartphone with a sleek design, high refresh rate display, and solid performance capabilities. As Samsung continues to diversify its A-series portfolio, the Galaxy A26 5G is poised to attract a wide audience. Stay tuned for further updates and an official announcement in the near future.
