This launch marks a significant upgrade for the A Series, integrating AI-driven features for enhanced creativity, durability, and security, ensuring a smooth and long-lasting user experience.

AI-Powered Features for Smarter Search and Creativity
For the first time, Samsung’s Galaxy A Series includes Awesome Intelligence, bringing advanced AI tools powered by One UI 7.

Users can also search for songs playing around them without switching apps – simply long-press the navigation bar and tap the music button.
The camera experience gets a major boost with a 50MP main sensor on all models, along with a 10-bit HDR front camera recording on the A56 5G and A36 5G. The A56 5G features a 12MP ultra-wide lens, while all three models include intelligent editing tools like Object Eraser for removing unwanted distractions and Filters for custom colour and style effects.
Exclusive to the A56 5G, Best Face ensures the perfect group shot by selecting the best expressions for up to five people. Additionally, enhanced Nightography with Low Noise Mode improves low-light selfies and wide-camera shots.
Enhanced Display, Performance, and Longevity
Samsung ensures long-term value with six generations of Android OS and One UI updates, alongside six years of security updates. The A56 5G and A36 5G boast a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with 1200 nits of brightness and stereo speakers for an immersive viewing and audio experience.
Battery life is impressive, with a 5,000mAh battery offering up to 29 hours of video playback. Both the A56 5G and A36 5G support 45W fast charging and Super Fast Charge 2.0.
