Samsung finally debuts its latest Galaxy A Series in South Africa, starting at R5,000

Samsung Mobile South Africa believes the time is finally ripe to "launch" the decisively budget and mid-range Galaxy A Series in South Africa, despite the devices hitting shelves in March. Officially unveiled at a launch event in Johannesburg this evening, Samsung offered attendees a closer look at the three devices – the Galaxy A56 5G, A36 5G, and A26 5G – and their (supposedly) 'Awesome' Intelligence features. "The new Galaxy A series marks an important step in our mission of AI for all, by opening Galaxy's incredible mobile AI experiences to even more people around the world," said TM Roh.

"With these awesome new features and capabilities, we are excited to unlock limitless creativity on the Galaxy A series while ensuring a safe, reliable and fun mobile experience."

That doesn't mean it's looking for any particularly overqualified wallets to take it home, however.



The A56 towers above the rest of the mid-range competition with an R11,000 starting price, delivering a superb 6.7in Full HD+ Super AMOLED..
