The latest Samsung Galaxy A56 5G has appeared on the 3C certification website with support for up to 45W wired fast charging. This becomes the first A-series smartphone with such speeds and is a far cry from the A55 5G, which supported only 25W charging. Samsung previously reserved 45W charging exclusively for its flagship Galaxy S series. The Galaxy A56 5G, however, breaks this tradition.
An Exynos 1580 SoC powers the device, delivering next-gen performance with optimized efficiency. The device, with support for up to 8GB of RAM, promises smooth performance with multitasking, as well as gaming. However, shipping would come with Android 15-based One UI 7.0, with an intuitive and modern user interface.
The Galaxy A56 5G is very likely to come supplied with a triple rear camera setup. There is a possible configuration of 50-megapixel primary sensor, 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 5-megapixel macro shooter. The 12-megapixel front-facing camera will likely enhance selfies and video calls, providing a superior user photography experience. While official design details are not available, the Galaxy A56 5G is likely to stick to a slick and premium build as always. However, the box is unlikely to carry a charger like its predecessors have made it a thing of the past.

Global Launch and Price
The global launch of the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is pegged for March or April 2025. The phone could launch with a starting price of EUR 450 (around ₹40,900) and go up to EUR 500 (around ₹45,500).Keeping in mind the new and enhanced features, the price seems to fit into Samsung’s scenario of pursuing its mid-range strategy with competitive pricing.
A Look at the Galaxy A55 5G for Context
For comparison, the Galaxy A55 5G launched in India with a starting price of ₹39,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. The 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB configurations were priced at ₹42,999 and ₹45,999, respectively. This suggests the Galaxy A56 5G might occupy a similar pricing tier but offer improved features.

Why the Galaxy A56 5G Stands Out
The Galaxy A56 5G marks a significant step forward for Samsung’s A-series brand. Adding flagship-level charging speeds, an advanced processor, and a versatile camera system will give the device an edge in the mid-range market. For a user looking for premium features and an affordable price, the Galaxy A56 5G might just be the new benchmark.
