Samsung Galaxy A36 expected to arrive with an improved front camera

The Samsung Galaxy A36 is reportedly in preparation to succeed the Galaxy A35. Although Samsung has not confirmed the exact launch date of this new Galaxy A series device, early leaks suggest that it will come with a notable upgrade to its front camera. On the back, the Galaxy A36 is expected to retain the 50-megapixel main sensor from its predecessor. The Galaxy A36 is expected to debut in March 2025 with a Snapdragon chipset.

According to a report by Galaxy Club (Dutch), the unannounced Galaxy A36 has a 12 megapixel sensor on the front. This front camera sensor will not be the same as the 12-megapixel sensor on the Galaxy A56. Samsung will reportedly maintain some difference in camera quality between the upcoming Galaxy A36 and the Galaxy A56.

Additionally, the report states that Samsung will continue to use the 50-megapixel main camera from the current Galaxy A35 phone for the Galaxy A36. Like its predecessor, the camera setup could also include a 5-megapixel macro sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera.

A recent Geekbench listing suggests that the Galaxy A36 will be powered by either the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC or the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, paired with 6GB of RAM in one configuration. It could run Android 15.

Early renders of the Galaxy A36 hinted at a punch-hole display design and a redesigned camera island with three cameras arranged vertically inside a pill-shaped module. It is likely to include an in-display fingerprint sensor. The handset is rumored to launch in March next year. It is said to feature a slim body measuring 162.6 x 77.9 x 7.4mm.
