Samsung is gearing up to launch the highly anticipated Galaxy A56 5G, the successor to the Galaxy A55 5G. The smartphone was recently spotted on the Chinese 3C certification site, revealing key details about its fast charging capabilities. Previously, the device also appeared on Geekbench, where it showcased impressive specifications.
Enhanced Fast Charging and Performance
According to the 3C listing, the Galaxy A56 5G, bearing the model number SM-A5660, will support 45W fast charging. This is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Galaxy A55 5G, which offered 25W fast charging. This improvement positions the Galaxy A56 5G closer to Samsung’s flagship models, such as the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which also supports 45W charging. However, real-world charging speeds and performance remain to be seen.
As with other Galaxy A and M series smartphones, Samsung is not expected to include a charger in the box. Buyers may need to purchase a compatible charger separately to take advantage of the faster charging technology.
Impressive Performance with Exynos 1580 Processor
The Geekbench listing revealed that the Galaxy A56 5G would feature the Exynos 1580 processor paired with 8GB of RAM. The device achieved benchmark scores comparable to those of smartphones powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, indicating robust performance. The phone will run on a custom Android 15-based operating system, further enhancing user experience.
Advanced Camera Setup
In terms of imaging, the Galaxy A56 5G is rumored to feature a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP macro or depth sensor. On the front, a 12MP selfie camera is expected, promising high-quality photos and videos for social media enthusiasts.
Expected Launch Timeline and Pricing
The Galaxy A56 5G is likely to debut in early 2025, following the launch of the Galaxy S25 series. Based on its predecessor’s pricing, which started at ₹39,999, the Galaxy A56 5G could be priced around ₹45,000 in India.
Key Takeaways
With upgraded charging speeds, powerful performance, and advanced camera features, the Galaxy A56 5G aims to deliver a flagship-like experience in a mid-range package. Its launch is expected to further solidify Samsung’s position in the competitive mid-range smartphone market.
