Introduction and Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy A26 arrives slightly later than its predecessors but compensates with notable upgrades for the budget-friendly A2x series. Borrowing last year’s Exynos 1380 chipset (previously seen in the Galaxy A35), it pairs this with a larger 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display (up from 6.5″) and refined build quality, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both front and back panels.
A standout addition is its IP67 certification, a rarity in this price tier, offering superior dust and water resistance compared to basic splash-proof rivals.
Key Specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A26:
- Body: 164.0×77.5×7.7mm, 200g; Gorilla Glass Victus+ front/back, plastic frame; IP67-rated.
- Display: 6.70″ Super AMOLED panel, 120Hz refresh rate, 1080x2340px resolution (385ppi), Always-on display support.
- Chipset: Exynos 1380 (Global) or Exynos 1280 (LATAM), paired with Mali-G68 GPU variants.
- Memory/Storage: 128GB/256GB storage with 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM; expandable via microSDXC.
- OS/Software: Ships with Android 15 and One UI 7, promising up to six major Android updates.
- Cameras: Triple rear setup—50MP OIS main, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro; 13MP front shooter.
- Battery: 5,000mAh with 25W wired charging (adapter not included).
- Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC.
- Extras: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Circle to Search feature, virtual proximity sensing.
While the camera hardware remains familiar (50MP+8MP+2MP rear, 13MP front), Samsung enhances the package with subtle yet meaningful improvements—such as the Exynos 1380 and IP67—without raising the price, positioning it as a compelling mid-€200 contender.
Competition and Testing
Before final judgments, thorough benchmarking against rivals is essential.
Unboxing Experience
The Galaxy A26 ships in a minimalist package: a USB-C to USB-C cable, manuals, and no accessories like cases. To utilize its 25W fast charging (via Samsung’s PPS standard), a compatible charger must be purchased separately.
