The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G is one of the latest smartphones from Samsung to launch in Kenya. The other devices launched recently by the company include the Galaxy A36 5G and the Galaxy A56 5G. All these are in the Galaxy A family, one of Samsung’s series with mid-range and entry-level devices. The Galaxy A26 5G builds on the success of the A25 from last year.
The Galaxy A26 5G is available in Kenya starting from Ksh 29,999. This is the price for the variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage space. At this price, this is a direct competitor to the Infinix Note series, Tecno Camon series and the Xiaomi Redmi Note series. All these have some good devices worth checking out and the A26 will not have an easy task competing.
Powering the Galaxy A26 5G is the Exynos 1380 processor with One UI 7 based on Android 15. The phone has a triple camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and for selfies, it has a 13MP sensor. The battery is a 5,000 mAh unit that supports 25W wired charging, which is a bit slow and that is disappointing.
Have a look at the phone’s other key specifications below.
