Breaking: Samsung Galaxy A36 5G flaunts major design revamp

Samsung Galaxy A36 5G is set to debut a brand new camera island design. The phone’s launch is expected in March next year. Giznext collaborated with Onleaks to reveal the first look at this upcoming mid-range smartphone.

The company seemingly differentiating its Galaxy S series design from mid-range phones. The current generation of Galaxy A features a signature design. There’s no camera island for the sensors, with all appearing separately.

Galaxy A36 5G could bring a brand new design, replicating the Z Fold 6 camera island. The sensor placement is unchanged, but the sensors have a surrounding island. It’s a major design shift after three generations of identical appearance.

The vertical pill contains three camera sensors, with the inner area painted Black. This approach differentiates the camera island from the remaining area on the back panel – making it look stand out of the previous models.

Additionally, the frame is flat featuring Key Island design the same as its predecessor. The display remains modern with punch-hole camera cutout. The bezel profile also remains same with minimal changes in overall thickness.

The report notes that the Galaxy A36 5G will have a relatively thin profile with its dimensions measuring roughly 162.6 x 77.9 x 7.4mm and 9.6mm thickness (with camera bump). On the right spine, the power button and volume rockers are placed.

There’s a possibility of an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone’s side key doesn’t integrate the fingerprint scanner for biometrics authentication. The remaining slots including the USB Type-C port, and SIM card tray are placed at the bottom.

A recent Geekbench listing suggested that the Galaxy A36 5G will use a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. The chipset will fuel additional AI capabilities, making the A36 5G compatible to run more new AI-derived features.
