Samsung appears to be preparing for the release of three new smartphones in its Galaxy A series: the Galaxy A06 5G, Galaxy A36 5G, and Galaxy A56 5G. The A06 5G will be the 5G variant of the Galaxy A06, which is currently available in 4G. On the other hand, the A36 5G and A56 5G are expected to fit into higher price segments, following the trends set by their predecessors.

The upcoming models have been spotted (via 91Mobiles) on the Google Play Console, a certification platform that often hints at imminent launches. The listing confirms the existence of the A06 5G, A36 5G, and A56 5G with the respective model codes: a06x, a36xq, and a56x. Additionally, the A06 5G has shown multiple model numbers, signalling potential availability in various markets. The model numbers SM-M066B and SM-E066B are thought to represent the Galaxy M06 5G and Galaxy F06 5G, respectively. The F06 variant recently launched in India, further indicating that these models may reach the Indian market as well. In fact, the M06 5G has already appeared on India's BIS certification website.
