Samsung Galaxy A26 5G tipped to launch with expandable storage following FCC leak

The Galaxy A26 5G is thought to be one of the first devices of its mid-range series to debut with an updated, monolithic camera hump rather than the separate rings of the A25 5G (as spotted on Amazon for as little as $184.99 today (February 17, 2025)).

The newer model might remain relatively affordable, however, with the same kind of waterdrop-notch display as in 2024. It is also now tipped to ship in Ireland and the UK as well as other regions such as North America and India, thanks to its new leak.

It consists of new support pages on Samsung's official websites for both countries for the SM-A266B/DS, a device rumored to debut as the dual-SIM version of the A26 5G.

Surprisingly little is known about the device's internals to date (compared to its rumored A36 and A56 5G siblings, that is), although an FCC listing associated with the same model number seems to confirm that it will support Wi-Fi 5 in addition to Bluetooth, NFC and the 25W charging rate imparted by Samsung's EP-TA800 power brick. 

There is nothing unusual about that (especially the power brick, unfortunately) - however, the FCC notes that the A26 5G will be capable of SD card support.

That might be a mistake of some kind, yet suggests that the A26 5G could, like its forebear but unlike the higher-end A36, hang onto a microSD card slot in 2025.
