Samsung is preparing to launch its next mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy A56 in the first week of March. Part of the popular A50 series, the Galaxy A56 is set to follow the same trend of offering a premium build and reliable camera performance. The A50 series has consistently been a strong performer in the mid-range market, and the A56 looks to continue that tradition. In this article, I will be talking about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A56, including its rumors and leaks.
Samsung Galaxy A56 Rumors
Design and Display
The images of the Samsung Galaxy A56 have surfaced online and this somewhat looks like the Samsung Galaxy A16. It has a sleek, minimalistic aesthetic with a triple rear camera setup arranged vertically in a black module on the left side. You will also see an LED flash next to the camera island. Rumors hint that the button you see (below) on the right side is ‘Key Island’ — not sure what exactly this is for!
This smartphone has a flat display with rounded corners. Moreover, the bezels look slim and on the top, you can see a center hole-punch selfie camera.
New Exynos 1580 Chipset
One of the key changes in the Samsung Galaxy A56 is its new Exynos 1580 chipset. This is a significant update from the Exynos 1480 used in the Galaxy A55. The Exynos 1480 had issues with overheating during gaming and could not match the performance of competitors like Snapdragon and Dimensity chips in terms of FPS stability.
In contrast, the Exynos 1580 shows improved specs that could resolve some of these performance problems. The chipset comes with 8 CPU cores, including:
- 1x prime core at 2.91GHz for single-core performance,
- 3x mid-cores at 2.60GHz,
- 4x efficiency cores at 1.95GHz.
Graphics and Gaming Improvements
The GPU is also upgraded to the Xclipse 540, which could be based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture. This GPU is a step up from the previous Xclipse 530 and might offer better gaming performance and graphics capabilities.
