Samsung Galaxy A56 5G, A36 5G, F17 5G Price Increase: Samsung Hikes Rates by Up to ₹1,500

26 February 2026 at 16:50

Samsung has increased prices for several Galaxy A and F series smartphones in India. A leaked internal pricing document from tipster AN Leaks shows the new rates, though Samsung hasn’t made any official announcement. The changes appear to be live in some stores, but online platforms haven’t fully updated their listings yet.

Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G Get Price Bumps

The Galaxy A56 5G now costs more for its higher storage options. The 8GB + 256GB version is priced at ₹44,999, and the 12GB + 256GB model costs ₹48,999. Both variants are about ₹1,000 more expensive than before.

The Galaxy A36 5G also saw similar increases. The 8GB + 256GB variant jumped from ₹35,499 to ₹36,999. The 12GB + 256GB option now costs ₹40,499. Again, this is roughly ₹1,000 more per variant.

Galaxy F17 5G Prices Go Up Too

Samsung Galaxy F17 5G

The Galaxy F17 5G also got pricier. The 4GB + 128GB variant now costs ₹16,499, while the 6GB + 128GB version is ₹17,999. Both are about ₹1,000 higher. The 8GB + 128GB model is priced at ₹19,999, which is a bigger jump of ₹1,500 from its earlier price.

Online Stores Still Show Old Prices

Checking major online shopping sites shows that many devices still display the older prices. This means the price increase might be rolling out slowly or could be limited to physical retail stores right now.

Second Price Increase This Year

This isn’t the first time Samsung raised prices in 2026. Reports from January suggested the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy F17 5G already had price hikes. Other leaks mention possible increases for more Samsung phones later this year, but nothing is confirmed.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro Go Official with Blade Design, Super Clear Call, and Advanced ANC

26 February 2026 at 02:04
Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, its latest premium true wireless earbuds, alongside the Galaxy S26 series. The new lineup focuses on improved audio hardware, adaptive sound processing, AI integration, and refined ergonomics. Pre-orders begin today in select markets, with general availability scheduled for March 11.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

Both the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro include several built-in technologies such as Enhanced Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Adaptive Equalizer (EQ), Super Clear Call technology, 24-bit Hi-Fi audio support, and Galaxy AI assistant integration. These features are designed to automatically adjust sound output, reduce background noise, and improve communication clarity depending on the user’s environment and fit.

Galaxy Buds4

New Blade Design Focuses on Fit and Comfort

The Galaxy Buds 4 series introduces a new blade design developed using computational modeling based on hundreds of millions of ear data points and more than 10,000 simulations. The earbuds feature smaller heads and a stabilized blade with a metal finish and engraved pinch control area for easier interaction. A transparent clamshell charging case highlights the design while simplifying storage and charging.

Samsung offers two fit styles across the lineup. The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro uses a canal-fit design intended to maximize sound isolation and functionality, while the Galaxy Buds 4 uses an open-fit design focused on comfort for everyday wear. Both models are available in Black and White, with an additional online-exclusive Pink Gold option for the Pro version.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

Upgraded Audio Hardware in Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro include upgraded audio hardware with a wider woofer that increases the effective vibration area by nearly 20 percent compared to the previous generation. Combined with a tweeter, the two-way speaker system supports 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution audio, which allows more detailed bass and clearer treble reproduction. The speaker placement also helps improve noise cancellation performance while reducing wind interference.

Adaptive ANC and EQ for Personalized Sound

The earbuds include Enhanced Adaptive ANC technology, which analyzes surrounding noise and wearing conditions in real time and automatically adjusts noise reduction levels. The Adaptive EQ system evaluates how the earbuds sit in the user’s ears and dynamically tunes frequencies to deliver more accurate sound tailored to the listener.

Super Clear Call Technology for Better Voice Quality

Both models also include Super Clear Call technology. This feature uses super wideband Bluetooth processing and machine learning-based noise reduction to separate the user’s voice from background noise, helping maintain clearer conversations even in busy environments.

The earbuds integrate with the Galaxy ecosystem and support AI assistants such as Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Users can activate these assistants using voice commands or hands-free controls. The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro additionally support head gesture controls for managing calls and assistant interactions. Pairing is simplified through automatic device detection when the charging case is opened near a compatible Galaxy device, with controls accessible through the Quick Panel interface.

The Galaxy Buds 4 feature an 11 mm speaker, three microphones, Bluetooth 6.1 connectivity, Auracast support, and IP54 water resistance. Battery capacity is 45 mAh per earbud with a 515 mAh charging case, delivering up to 5 hours of playback with ANC enabled and up to 24 hours total with the case. With ANC disabled, playback increases to 6 hours per charge and up to 30 hours total.

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro include a two-way driver system, higher battery capacity at 61 mAh per earbud, and IP57 water resistance. Playback reaches up to 6 hours with ANC enabled and 26 hours total, or up to 7 hours per charge and 30 hours total with ANC disabled. Both models support Android 12 or newer devices with at least 1.5 GB RAM.

Nothing Phone (4a) Pink Variant Revealed With New Glyph Bar Lighting

25 February 2026 at 20:23
Nothing Phone (4a)

Nothing has confirmed a Pink edition for its upcoming Phone (4a), representing the brand’s first-ever pink smartphone. The device launches March 5 at 10:30 AM GMT during a livestreamed event from Central Saint Martins in London.

Nothing Phone (4a)

The Pink variant will join the already confirmed White, Blue, and Black options. According to Nothing, the colour achieves its distinctive appearance through tinted transparency layers that allow light to interact with the underlying resin, creating depth and texture. The model pairs a pink frame with silver buttons and a camera plate, with retail packaging following the same colour scheme.

Nothing Phone (4a)

The Phone (4a) will also introduce a redesigned Glyph Bar lighting system, replacing previous configurations with six vertically-arranged white LEDs positioned alongside the camera module’s right edge. A dedicated red LED signals recording activity. The system supports notifications, progress indicators, camera timer countdowns, and shutter confirmation while retaining the hourglass effect from the Phone (3) despite the single-column layout.

Nothing stated that the camera bump has been reduced compared to the Phone (3a) due to the use of a tetra prism telephoto lens. The Glyph Bar will also integrate with system-level features such as Android 16 live updates, expanding its functional use beyond notifications. To promote the Pink variant, Nothing has launched marketing campaigns in London, including graffiti installations across central locations and themed flyposters. The Nothing Store in Bengaluru has also received a pink-themed window takeover.

Leaked specifications suggest the Phone (4a) may feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to run on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor with 8GB or 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The software will likely be Nothing OS 4 based on Android 16.

Camera details point to a 50MP main rear sensor and a 32MP front camera. Battery capacity and charging details have not been confirmed yet. Full specifications and pricing will be announced during the March 5 launch event, which will be streamed globally.

Oppo A6 Series Gets Four New Models in China With AMOLED Display and 7,000mAh Battery

25 February 2026 at 18:03
Oppo A6

Oppo has expanded its A-series portfolio with four new models in China, including the Oppo A6 (PLS120), A6s, A6i+, and A6v. While the naming suggests entirely new devices, the lineup combines one upgraded variant with several rebranded or slightly modified models positioned at different price points. The A6 (PLS120) stands out as the most notable addition due to its display and charging improvements over the previously released global version.

A6 (PLS120): The Premium Variant

The China-exclusive Oppo A6 represents the most significant departure from its global counterpart. It features a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with 1080p+ resolution, replacing the global version’s 6.75-inch 720p+ LCD panel. An optical under-display fingerprint scanner replaces the side-mounted sensor.

Oppo A6

Charging capabilities have been substantially upgraded to 80W SuperVOOC and 44W PPS, compared to 45W and 33W on the global model. The 7,000mAh battery remains unchanged.

The device runs MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 processor with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Three configurations are available: 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB, all supporting microSD expansion.

Durability is enhanced with IP68 and IP69 ratings. The camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor, 2MP secondary camera, and an upgraded 16MP front camera. Video recording maxes out at 1080p/60fps.

Pricing starts at CNY 1,600 ($220) for the base model, CNY 1,900 for the middle tier, and CNY 2,100 for the top configuration.

A6s: Midrange Option With Compromises

The A6s uses a 6.75-inch 720p+ LCD display paired with the same Dimensity 6300 chipset. While it retains the 7,000mAh battery, charging is limited to 45W SuperVOOC.

OPPO A6s

The front camera has been downgraded to 8MP from 16MP. Memory configurations include 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB with microSD support. Despite overlapping specifications with other A6 variants, Oppo markets it as a distinct model.

A6i+: Rebadged Global Hardware

OPPO A6i+

The A6i+ is fundamentally a rebranded device, sharing its model number (PLT120) and specifications with the global Oppo A6. This naming strategy targets different market segments without introducing new hardware.

The device starts at CNY 1,500 for 8GB + 256GB.

A6v: Budget Entry With Reductions

OPPO A6v

The A6v (PLT130) makes several cuts to reach a lower price point. It features a 5MP front camera, a reduced 6,500mAh battery, and 45W SuperVOOC charging. Durability protection drops to IP64 from IP68/IP69.

This model closely mirrors the previously released Oppo A6t with updated branding, starting at CNY 1,200.
