Samsung’s latest midrange smartphone, the Galaxy M56, has finally launched in India. And it comes as a slight rebrand of Galaxy A56 5G (review) ,but with a couple of changes here and there. So, let’s dive into the specifications, design, features, and expected price of the Samsung Galaxy M56 in Nepal in this article.

Samsung M56 Overview

Design and display

In terms of design, the Galaxy M56 continues Samsung’s clean and minimal aesthetics. The back panel has a matte finish with a subtle Samsung logo, while the camera layout consists of two prominent lenses inside pill-shaped cutouts, all arranged vertically at the top-left corner. The side frame has a metallic look with slight curves for comfort.

Measuring 7.2mm in thickness and weighing around 180 grams, the Galaxy M56 is slim and lightweight, keeping it in line with modern midrange design trends.

As for the display, the phone is equipped with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ panel with Full HD+ resolution. Samsung has reportedly improved brightness by 33% compared to the Galaxy M55 (review), which means the M56 now has 1,300 nits of peak brightness. It also supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals, while the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Performance and software

Starting at 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, the Galaxy M56 is powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 1480 chipset.  It has a similar capacity as compared to the D7400 & SD 7s Gen 3.  This is also the same chip we saw on last year’s Galaxy A55 (review), by the way.

For graphics, the Samsung Xclipse 530 GPU is expected to handle casual gaming and regular usage, though it may struggle with more demanding games on high settings.
