Samsung Galaxy A26 5G now official

Tagging along the new Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 is the more affordable version, the Galaxy A26 5G.

It adopts similar key features from its higher-end sibling such as the 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, an IP67 rating, and One UI 7 (Android 15) out-of-the-box with up to six years of software support.
