Samsung Galaxy A36 5G tipped to debut in US with generational charging upgrade

The upcoming Galaxy A56 5G will apparently not be alone in upgrading to Samsung's 45W Super Fast Charging spec this year: its smaller sibling the A36 5G is also poised to benefit from the feature, according to the latest reports.

They are based on the discovery of a device referenced in new TÜV Rheinland safety documentation that approves the A36 to ship with 10V/4.5A (or 45W) charging, as opposed to 25W in its predecessor (now available for $349.99 on Amazon).

The smartphone in question has the model number SM-A366U, the last character of which suggests that it is destined for sale in the United States.

A device with the same identifier has also surfaced on Geekbench in a leak that seems to confirm that the A36 5G will most likely run on the Adreno 710-equipped Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC, as opposed to the Exynos 1580 predicted for the A56 5G.

In addition, it looks like the A36 5G will be a 6GB RAM device, while the A56 5G gets at least 8GB.

It also seems that the 2 devices will serve as a preview of Samsung design language for years to come, as they are both depicted with camera humps more like that of the top-end foldable Galaxy Z Fold6 than that of the vanilla flagship S24 as usual.
