Samsung Galaxy A36 5G draws closer to launch in US with FCC approval

The Galaxy A36 5G has joined the A56 5G in gaining FCC clearance, suggesting that both smartphones will indeed launch soon. 

They have a lot in common in their new filings, Wi-Fi 6 support included. In an odd twist, the Commission has chosen to test the A36 with Samsung's EP-TA800 power brick.

It is rated for the 25W wired charging speed of the A35 5G, even though its successor seemed capable of using its 45W counterpart (the EP-TA845) in earlier leaks.

Nevertheless, the A36 5G (or "SM-A366U") is indeed described as having that 10V/4.5A spec in its latest leak.

Therefore, it is possible that it will ship with a 25W charger despite being capable of the 45W Super Fast Charging normally reserved for the higher-end Galaxy S line - or it will not make that upgrade alongside the A56 5G as rumored after all.

Either way, all this intrigue should make their introduction to the mid-range Galaxy A series all the more interesting in 2025.
