Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy A56, a smartphone that marks a leap in both design and performance. With enhancements such as 45W wired charging, the introduction of the Exynos 1580 chipset, and an improved 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy A56 aims to set a new standard in the mid-range segment.
Sporting a slimmer profile at just 7.4 mm, this model also features a completely reimagined camera island that eliminates protruding lenses, giving it a modern and sleek appearance.

However, contrary to earlier speculation, the device comes equipped with 8 GB of RAM rather than the rumored 12 GB.
The display has also been enhanced, boasting a peak brightness of 1900 nits and 1200 nits in high brightness mode while maintaining a Full HD+ resolution and fortified by Gorilla Glass Victus+. The Galaxy A56’s body is equally durable, featuring Victus+ on both the front and back, complemented by an aluminum frame.

While the camera hardware remains unchanged from its predecessor, the Galaxy A56 features a powerful 50 MP f/1.8 main camera, a 12 MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and a 5 MP f/2.4 macro lens at the back, along with a 12 MP f/2.2 front-facing camera. The AI-driven algorithm enables context-aware image enhancements, improved low-light photography, and faster transitions between the main and ultra-wide cameras.
