What you get with the Galaxy A26 5G
The A26 sits between Samsung’s budget phones and the mid-range A3x models. It gives you 5G, a big smooth screen, plenty of storage and real water protection for a fair price.
A smooth 120Hz Super AMOLED screen
The 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display runs at 120Hz, so scrolling, games and videos feel fluid. Gorilla Glass Victus+ protects the front, and the back is glass too, which gives the A26 a more premium feel than the A1x phones.
5G and plenty of storage
Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chip brings 5G and handles social media, streaming and most games well. The version we sell has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and there is still a microSD slot if you want more.
A camera with OIS
The 50MP main camera has optical image stabilisation (OIS), which keeps night photos sharper and video steadier. It is joined by an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro. The 13MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.
IP67, battery and updates
The A26 is rated IP67, so it can survive rain, splashes and a short drop in fresh water. The 5,000mAh battery supports 25W charging (charger sold separately). It launched on Android 15, and Samsung promises six OS upgrades and six years of security updates, until 2031.

Galaxy A26 vs A27 vs A36: which should you buy?
| Phone | Price from | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A27 5G | KSh 35,000 | The newer model, with a faster Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip |
| Galaxy A26 5G | KSh 39,000 | 256GB storage, IP67 and a microSD slot |
| Galaxy A36 5G | KSh 44,000 | 45W charging and a faster chip for heavier use |
The A27 is the newer phone and is faster, but it is rated IP64 rather than IP67. The A26 is the better choice if you want maximum storage and water protection. Step up to the A36 if you want 45W charging and smoother gaming.

Is the Samsung Galaxy A26 worth it?
