Samsung launches Galaxy A56, A36, A26 in Europe

This week, Google announced the Pixel 9a smartphone, which will launch in April starting at £500 for the 128GB model. This mid-range phone offers a chance to explore similar devices in that price range. Samsung also released three new models: the Galaxy A56, A36, and A26. The Galaxy A56 features an Exynos 1580 processor and a powerful 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. Despite not having any discounts, buyers will receive extras like a Galaxy Fit3 and a charger valued at £138.98 when purchasing through Amazon. The Galaxy A36 is priced £100 less than the A56 but has a slower Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset and a lower quality ultra-wide camera. The A26, which does not come with any extras, is even more affordable but also compromises on performance and charging speed. In comparison, the Pixel 9a’s predecessor, the Pixel 8a, is currently available at £150 less. However, it has an older chip and a smaller display. On the other hand, upgrading to the Pixel 9 offers better performance thanks to its Tensor G4 chip. The Apple iPhone 16e is the priciest budget option at £600, featuring Apple’s A18 chip. Despite strong performance, it lacks some modern camera and charging features. For those looking for a more affordable option, the Nothing Phone (3a) is priced under £400 but offers decent performance and camera capabilities. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 50, priced at £600, has discounts available for Prime members, making it competitive with the Pixel 9a. Lastly, there is a valuable deal on the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE for Prime members, with significant discounts and extras like Galaxy Buds FE and a Galaxy Fit3 included.
