Samsung is gearing up to redefine the mid-range smartphone market with its upcoming Galaxy A36, and leaks suggest a significant leap forward in charging technology. For the first time, a device in Samsung’s Galaxy A series will support 45W wired charging, bringing faster top-ups to budget-conscious consumers.
The Galaxy A36, alongside the Galaxy A56, received its IECEE certification today, confirming the 45W charging capability. This is a notable improvement over previous models, which maxed out at 25W.
Power Meets Style
The Galaxy A36 is expected to pair its cutting-edge charging feature with a sleek design and upgraded internals. Rumors suggest a 6.64-inch flat AMOLED display, a triple-camera setup, and slimmer dimensions, making it a refined successor to the Galaxy A35. Additionally, the phone will reportedly launch with Android 15 and One UI 7, ensuring users enjoy the latest software innovations.
Under the hood, the A36 is tipped to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, promising improved performance and efficiency. In contrast, its sibling, the Galaxy A56, is expected to run on Samsung’s Exynos 1580 SoC.

Launch Timeline
Both devices are expected to debut after the Galaxy S25 launch later this month, making February 2025 the earliest possible release window. Samsung’s strategy to align the A-series with flagship features like 45W charging and advanced processors reflects its focus on delivering premium experiences at competitive prices.
A Fresh Look
Leaked 5K renders and a 360° video of the Galaxy A36 reveal a modernized design with a centered punch-hole camera, slimmer bezels, and an updated camera island at the back. The design retains the familiar flat-frame aesthetic but refines it further with a thin and lightweight profile, measuring approximately 162.6 x 77.9 x 7.4mm (9.6mm with the camera bump).
Interestingly, the power button does not include a fingerprint scanner, hinting at the possibility of an in-display biometric sensor—a first for the A-series. Connectivity and functionality are rounded off with a USB Type-C port and SIM tray at the bottom.
Looking Ahead
While full details about the camera system and battery enhancements remain under wraps, the Galaxy A36 is already shaping up to be a compelling option for users seeking flagship-grade features in a mid-range device. Stay tuned for Samsung’s official announcements and updates as the launch date approaches.
