Samsung Galaxy A36 Camera Specs Revealed: Better Selfies(0)

Shortly after the release of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung is expected to release its next-generation mid-range devices, the Galaxy A36 and A56, possibly within the first quarter of 2025. This follows a release pattern we saw earlier this year, when Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 in March, shortly after the Galaxy S24 lineup debuted in mid-January.A recent report from GalaxyClub now reveals the first camera specs for the Galaxy A36, hinting at improvements and changes.

Camera specifications of the Galaxy A36
The Galaxy A36 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel main rear camera, similar to what the current Galaxy A35 offers. However, the most notable upgrade is on the front of the device, where Samsung has reportedly equipped the Galaxy A36 with a 12-megapixel selfie camera, replacing the previous 13-megapixel one. While this might seem a slight downgrade, the source notes that the sensor could be a “clear improvement compared to the old 13 MP sensor that Samsung used for the previous A3x devices”.

Interestingly, Samsung seems to be differentiating between the A36 and the A56, as the 12MP front camera on the A36 isn't expected to be the same as the 12MP sensor on the A56. This decision maintains the quality distinction between the two models, making the A56 the slightly more premium option in the Galaxy A series.

As for the macro and ultrawide cameras, specific details remain unknown. However, it’s expected that Samsung will keep these lenses consistent with last year’s model, which is a 5-megapixel macro and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. This incremental approach would align with Samsung’s pattern of upgrading one or two camera components each year.

Other expected features and design changes
In addition to camera specs, unofficial images of the Galaxy A36 have leaked, suggesting a possible design change. The A36 may feature a more defined camera island, instead of individual lenses protruding directly from the back, giving it a more cohesive look.

Additionally, the Galaxy A36 has made several appearances on Geekbench, suggesting that it will be powered by a Qualcomm processor - possibly a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or 7s Gen 2. Benchmarked models are shown to have 6 GB of RAM, and it's expected to run Android 15, which brings performance optimisations and the latest software experience. While pricing details are still unclear, it is expected to be priced at the same level as previous models, possibly between €350 and €400, keeping it competitive in the mid-range market.
