Samsung Galaxy A26 5G to run faster Exynos 1280, Android 15

Samsung could launch Galaxy A26 5G with a faster Exynos 1280 chipset. The company is developing a mid-range smartphone with improved specifications. It could be announced later this year or early next year.

The Galaxy A26 5G has appeared on Geekbench with a faster Exynos 1280 chip. The processor’s performance cores are clocked at 2.6GHz. The S5E8825 chip features two Cortex-A78 CPU cores, six Cortex-A55 CPU cores and ARM’s Mali-G68 GPU.

The SoC usually runs at 2.4GHz, hence, the A26 5G could get a slightly faster variant. It appears that the Korean tech giant has tweaked the performance core’s frequency to a level that won’t crush its efficiency and heat management.

The handset was carrying model number SM-A266B (via SamMobile). It will support 5G network connectivity and run the latest Android 15 operating system. The prototype model was equipped with 6GB of RAM, probably with 128GB storage.

We’ve recently seen the renders of the Galaxy A36 5G smartphone. The company could introduce a brand new camera island design with the device. A vertical camera island, containing tripel camera sensors will be featured on the A36 5G.

As the competition is rising, we wish Samsung to equip the A26 5G with a modern punch-hole display. It would have a 5000mAh battery and 25W fast charging support apart from 50-megapixel primary camera.
