Chinese regulatory authority TENAA has provided us our first look at a real Galaxy A56. We can see the phone from both the front and back, and the latter holds a pleasant—and nostalgic—surprise: it seems the camera island's design is inspired by the Galaxy Note 10.
Along with the camera design, we hope that Samsung also upgrades the camera sensors instead of carrying forward the same ones from the previous model as it did with the Galaxy A55. A recent leak revealed that we will at least get an upgraded selfie camera.
We can also see that the Galaxy A56 has what looks like a metal frame, which isn't surprising considering that its predecessors offered it too. The bezels around the display seem to be the same size as that of the Galaxy A55, which is quite disappointing. Samsung could have improved on this aspect. Nonetheless, the phone doesn't look bad by any means. In fact, it looks more premium than most devices in the price range.
The blue color of the device looks very dull in the images but we assume that's because the image isn't very clear and also because this is a prototype device. It also seems to have a matte finish but we can't say anything for sure at the moment.
Galaxy A56 to get Exynos 1580, faster charging, and software updates for many years
Leaks suggest that the Galaxy A56 will come with Samsung's Exynos 1580 SoC, which it announced recently, an upgraded charging speed of 45W, similar to the company's flagship devices, and faster, Bluetooth 5.4 conncetivity. Samsung could also offer the phone six to seven years of software updates, which will set it apart from the crowd.
The story continues after the video…
At the moment, there's no information about when Samsung will launch the Galaxy A56. However, considering that the tech giant usually releases A5x devices in March, expect the Galaxy A56 to come out in March 2025. Until then, check out our video above to get an idea about what to expect from Galaxy A56's software experience (One UI 7.0).
