Samsung has finally completed this year’s A series with the missing models.
Together with the Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A56, the Galaxy A26 was unveiled. It’s the most budget-friendly model available, not counting the Galaxy A16, which was released earlier in the year.
Here’s everything we know about the phone, including its launch date, price and key specs.
When will the Samsung Galaxy A26 be released?
The Galaxy A26 was officially unveiled on 1 March or 2 March 2025, depending on where you’re based.
The phone will be available for purchase in the UK starting from 19 March 2025 through operators, retailers, and directly from Samsung’s official website.
However, although it’s confirmed that the phone will appear in the US, Samsung hasn’t yet shared when.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy A26 cost?
The Galaxy A26 in the UK and US is available only with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage at £299/$299.99.
What specs and features will the Samsung Galaxy A26 have?
Design
Samsung has refined the design of the Galaxy A26, making it slimmer at 7.7mm than its predecessor, the Galaxy A25. However, the weight has increased slightly to 200g.
One of the biggest improvements this year is the IP67 rating, meaning the phone is resistant to dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes.
