Galaxy A56: Full Specifications

Samsung gives the Galaxy A56 a more polished feel than many phones in its class, with a slim 7.4 mm body, a 198 g weight, a metal frame, Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front and back, and IP67 resistance for dust and water. Its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display runs at up to 120 Hz and reaches up to 1,200 nits in high brightness mode, which helps the screen stay clear outdoors while keeping video, scrolling, and games looking smooth. The phone runs Android 15 with One UI 7 and includes Samsung’s newer Galaxy A features such as Circle to Search, Object Eraser, Filters, Auto Trim, and Best Face, along with long software support for years ahead. Around back, the triple-camera system combines a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 12 MP ultra-wide, and a 5 MP macro camera, while the 12 MP front camera supports 10-bit HDR video and improved low-light selfies. A 5,000 mAh battery and 45 W charging round out the package, and connectivity covers 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, USB-C, and nano-SIM plus eSIM support.
