Unbox on Samsung Galaxy A26
The Galaxy A26 falls in a modest retail box that only has a USB-C for normal user manual and data transfer and charging. There are no additional protective cases or anything.
The phone supports 25W fast charging on the PD using Samsung’s PPS, so you have to buy a separate one to avail the fast charging rate.
