Samsung has introduced three new smartphones in its popular Galaxy A series Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26 bringing its AI-powered features to a wider audience. The launch, which took place on Sunday, just ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, marks a significant step in making Galaxy AI more accessible to mid-range smartphone users.
Unlike Samsung’s premium Galaxy S and Z series, which offer an extensive suite of AI-driven functionalities, the AI capabilities in the latest A-series models are slightly scaled down. Samsung refers to these features as “awesome intelligence,” emphasizing that they still enhance the user experience without the premium price tag.
Galaxy AI Features in the A-Series
TM Roh, president and head of Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, highlighted the company’s mission of making AI technology accessible to all. “The new Galaxy A series marks an important step in our mission of AI for all, by opening Galaxy’s incredible mobile AI experiences to even more people around the world,” he stated in a press release.
Among the key AI-driven features available in these new devices is Object Eraser, which enables users to remove unwanted objects from images seamlessly. Additionally, Google’s Circle to Search functionality is included across all three models, allowing users to search for objects directly from their screen by circling them.
However, one of Samsung’s most talked-about AI features, Best Face, which ensures every person in a selfie looks perfect, is exclusive to the higher-end Galaxy A56. This model is priced at $499.99, while the Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26 start at $415 and $375, respectively.
Availability and Pricing
Samsung has yet to reveal the official pricing of these devices in India and other markets. However, given the growing demand for AI-powered smartphones in the mid-range segment, the new A-series models are expected to be well-received globally.
With these additions, Samsung is making a clear statement that AI is not just for flagship devices but can also be integrated into more affordable smartphones, ensuring a smarter and more intuitive experience for users everywhere.
