Buy New Galaxy A56 5G – Price & Offers

Samsung’s popular Galaxy A56 mid-range smartphone is here, and it brings some notable upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy A55, without going up the price ladder. In fact, someone might even argue that the A56 brings better value per dollar compared to the vanilla Galaxy S24 and S25.

There’s no change in the camera department, as the device features the same 50MP main unit paired with a 12MP ultrawide and 5MP macro snapper. The 12MP selfie replaces the old 32MP one, though, so we expect better-looking selfies this time around. But despite the modest camera hardware upgrade, Samsung claims the AI improves image quality in certain scenarios, like nighttime photography.

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy A56

The Galaxy A56 comes in a modest retail box containing only the usual user manuals and a USB-C to USB-C cable for data transfer and charging. There are no additional protective cases or anything.

The phone supports up to 45W fast charging over PD using Samsung’s PPS, so you will have to buy one separately to take advantage of the fast charging rate.
