The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G was launched in March 2025. It introduced higher-end features like a 120 Hz Super AMOLED display, IP67 water/dust resistance, and Samsung’s promise of long software support. It is now a flagship option in Samsung’s “Awesome” series for 2025.
Important Considerations
- 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate
- Powered by Exynos 1580 chipset
- RAM / Storage options: 8 GB / 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage
- Triple rear cameras: 50 MP main (with OIS) + 12 MP ultra-wide + 5 MP macro
- Front camera: 12 MP
- Battery: 5,000 mAh with 45 W fast wired charging
- IP67 rated water & dust resistance
- Samsung promises 6 years of software & security updates
- Downsides: no wireless charging, relatively high price, and non-PTA units may have limited warranty
Better Alternatives
- Samsung Galaxy A36 — newer but more balanced midrange
- Samsung Galaxy A35 / A34 — for lower cost but good features
- Xiaomi 13T / 14 series — strong camera + performance
- OnePlus 12 — for flagship-level performance and clean software
