Awesome Performance
The Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G keep the best-ofs coming with 5G connectivity and Wi-Fi 6 compatibility on the A56 5G.

That’s peace of mind that your phone will keep up when you’re busy snapping selfies, streaming content, sharing on social media and taking important calls.“The best smartphone is one that improves as the tech does, and the Samsung Galaxy A series does that by guaranteeing up to four generations of Operating System upgrades and five years of security updates,” says John Wong. “That means a longer life cycle for your phone without compromising on performance.”
Awesome Camera

Optical image stabilisation (OIS) and video digital image stabilisation (VDIS) are here to solve your creative dilemma! With the A Series Samsung phones, you can be confident about capturing awesome content even when you (or your subjects!) are on the move. And your device will take care of lighting too with Nightography and AI technology offering incredible detail and contrast when you're up and snapping after dark.For best-in-series camera specs, you’ll want the A56 5G triple-lens rear camera including a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide lens and 5MP macro lens; and an improved 12MP⁴ front camera for stunning selfies and video calls. When it comes to capturing stunning and vibrant photos, the A56 is the clear winner. This is due to its significantly larger pixels which have the ability to capture more light, resulting in much better low light photography. Take amazing videos of your adventures and everyday life, come day or night, in Super HDR⁵. Additionally, the A56 supports improved OIS and better Auto Focus, ensuring that your photos come out sharp and clear every time.The A36 5G has a 50MP main camera supported by an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 5MP macro lens.

Awesome Value
There is outstanding value to be found in Samsung’s mid-range A Series offering. You can see it in the design – impressive good looks, and a high-end, glossy, glass-finish back on the A54 5G that has so far only been seen on top-of-the-range models. It’s also there across all four phones in their sweet-spot storage capacity – each has 128GB internal storage with the capability to boost this to a colossal 1TB by inserting a microSD card. That’s plenty of space for apps, photos, videos, games and music without the need for a smartphone spring-clean.
“Phone manufacturers know people want speed, a good quality camera and long battery life so if you can tick off all three in a mid-range phone, you know you're getting top-end technology and functionality at great value,” says John Wong.
