The Samsung Galaxy A56 is expected to come with several notable upgrades, especially in the selfie camera department. This year’s model will feature a new 12MP sensor for the front camera, a significant change from the 32MP sensor found on the previous A-series devices since the Galaxy A51. While the new sensor offers a lower resolution, the quality of the 12MP sensor is said to be much better, with rumors suggesting it could be the same sensor used in higher-end Galaxy S series devices. This should translate to superior low-light performance, clearer details, and improved image processing for selfies and video calls​.
On the flip side, the rear camera setup on the A56 is expected to remain unchanged from the Galaxy A55. It will still come with a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP macro camera. While it doesn’t get a camera upgrade, it’s worth noting that the Galaxy A55’s camera system was already impressive in its class, producing high-quality shots despite its mid-range status​.
In terms of performance, the Galaxy A56 will see a significant boost. The device is rumored to be equipped with the Exynos 1580 chipset, the successor to the Exynos 1480 in the A55. Benchmarks from Geekbench suggest that the A56 will perform similarly to flagship devices, with single-core and multi-core scores of 1,341 and 3,836, respectively. This places the A56 on par with the Snapdragon 888, a high-end processor from 2021, promising excellent overall performance for everyday tasks and gaming​.
With these enhancements, the Galaxy A56 is shaping up to be a well-rounded and competitive device in the mid-range market, appealing to users who prioritize both camera quality and performance. The launch is expected to take place in early 2025, and more details will likely surface as the release date approaches.
