Overview

The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G succeeds the Galaxy A55 5G. It features a expanded 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen display. It supports Nano-SIM and eSIM configurations (Single SIM or Dual SIM/eSIM stand-by). The device ships running Android 15 alongside Samsung’s Exynos 1580 (4 nm) processor. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C 2.0, boosted by high-speed 5G network coverage. The phone houses a triple-camera module on the rear side and a single punch-hole selfie camera on the front. It is powered by a 5000mAh battery with upgraded 45W fast charging and is available in Pink, Olive, Graphite, and Lightgray colors.

Display

The 6.7-inch display utilizes Super AMOLED technology, featuring a 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution (~385 ppi density) with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Reaching up to 1900 nits peak brightness, the panel remains bright and legible even under direct sunlight. Built-in automatic brightness and dark mode automatically tailor contrast and white fonts against dark backgrounds to reduce eye strain in low-light environments. Protection is provided by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front, alongside an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes).

Design

The Galaxy A56 5G measures 162.2 x 77.5 x 7.4 mm and weighs 198 grams. It features a glass front and glass back (both made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+) held together by an aluminum frame. Underneath the lower portion of the screen sits an optical in-display fingerprint sensor. The volume rocker and power button are located on the right side of the frame, while the SIM tray is positioned along the top. A clean punch-hole design at the top center of the display houses the front-facing Infinity-O selfie camera. The rear side holds a sleek vertical triple-camera layout with an LED flash. The bottom edge houses the speaker grille, primary microphone, and USB Type-C port. (Note: This model does not include a 3.5mm audio jack.)

Graphics are handled by the Xclipse 540 GPU (co-developed with AMD), delivering high performance for heavy gaming and multitasking without lag. Coupled with fast 5G connectivity and generous memory configurations, online gaming and app performance run smoothly.
