Samsung Galaxy A36 passed Geekbench’s test with Android 15

Samsung continues to work rapidly on the Galaxy A36 model. This device, which will be the successor of the Galaxy A35 introduced in March, has entered the testing process. In the latest Geekbench tests, it was revealed that the Galaxy A36 was tested with the Android 15 operating system, with a remarkable detail.

While Google released Android 15 for Pixel devices as of this week; Samsung is expected to officially introduce this update with the Galaxy S25 series in 2024. However, looking at the Geekbench test results, the fact that the Galaxy A36 was tested with Android 15 indicates that this model can also meet users with this version. This suggests that the Galaxy A36 may be introduced after the Galaxy S25.

The recently introduced Galaxy A16 5G model was launched with a commitment to receive six major Android updates. Therefore, the Galaxy A36 is expected to come with similar support. If the device comes with Android 15 out of the box, that means it could be upgraded to Android 21 at the end of the update cycle.

Samsung Galaxy A36 tested with 6 GB RAM

Another important information about the tested Galaxy A36 prototype is about the hardware features of the device. While the prototype is being tested with 6 GB RAM, it is thought that different RAM options may also be released. Additionally, the device may be powered by one of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processors. The graphics processor that appeared in the Geekbench test points to one of these two chipsets. The interesting thing is that Samsung’s own Exynos 1380 processor was used in the Galaxy A35 model, but the A36 will switch to Qualcomm processors in this series. This change can be considered a remarkable step in terms of performance and efficiency.

More hardware and software details of the Galaxy A36 will become clear by its launch date. However, testing with Android 15 already shows that Samsung is taking an assertive approach for its mid-range devices.
