Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 series on January 22, and now the company is turning its full attention to the mid-range segment. As part of this shift, the South Korean brand is expected to introduce the Galaxy A56 in the coming months. Recent developments suggest the launch is imminent.
Samsung Galaxy A56 5G Receives FCC Certification
The Galaxy A56 5G, with the model number SM-A566E/DS, has appeared in the FCC database. The listing confirms the device will support 5G, GSM, WCDMA, LTE FDD, and 5G connectivity. Additionally, the phone is rumored to support 45W fast charging.
Reliable industry sources have shared the expected launch timeline for the Samsung Galaxy A56. According to the source, marketing activities for the device will kick off in February, with the official launch expected by mid-March.
The Galaxy A56 will be powered by the Exynos 1580 processor. Announced a few months ago, the chipset features a single high-performance Cortex-A720 core clocked at 2.9 GHz, three additional Cortex-A720 cores at 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex-A520 cores at 1.95 GHz for efficiency.
The device will come with 8 GB of RAM and run Android 15-based One UI 7 straight out of the box.
Another notable highlight of the Galaxy A56 is its software update support. Samsung has extended six years of software updates to the mid-range segment, starting with the Galaxy A16 5G, and this tradition will continue with the Galaxy A56. The device is expected to be priced between 450 and 500 euros, though the exact launch date is still unknown.
The Galaxy A56 is expected to feature a camera setup similar to its predecessors. This includes a triple-camera system comprising a 50 MP primary sensor, a 12 MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 5 MP macro sensor. On the front, users will find a new 12 MP selfie camera.
