TL;DR
- Leaked renders of the upcoming Galaxy A36 5G have revealed that the phone may feature a new camera design.
- Unlike other recent Samsung models, the device is likely to feature a pill-shaped camera island with three sensors.
- The Galaxy A36 5G may also be slightly taller and slimmer than its predecessor.
In addition to launching the long-awaited slim version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung is expected to refresh all devices in its affordable Galaxy A-series lineup in the coming months. The company has already announced the entry-level Galaxy A16 5G in some markets, and the Galaxy A36 5G could be the next model to hit stores.
Samsung hasn’t revealed any details about the Galaxy A36 5G, but we now have an early look at the device thanks to OnLeaks (via GizNext). A reputed tipster has shared renders of the budget phone and revealed the new rear camera design. Unlike other recent Samsung phones that have separate camera rings arranged in a row, the Galaxy A36 5G has a pill-shaped camera island with three sensors.
This new camera setup appears to be the only significant design change. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy A36 5G also appears to have flat sides and a raised protrusion on the right side for the volume rocker and power button. It also has a flat display with a hole-punch cutout in the middle for the selfie camera and a USB-C port at the bottom.
The phone could feature an in-display fingerprint reader like the Galaxy A35 5G, given that the power button in the renders doesn’t seem to have a built-in fingerprint scanner. The leak adds that the Galaxy A36 5G may measure around 162.6 x 77.9 x 7.4mm, making it slightly slimmer and taller than its predecessor.
The leak does not reveal any information about the device’s hardware specifications. However, we expect more details to emerge in the weeks leading up to launch.
