Overview
Samsung will be launching its newest mid-range phone, the Samsung Galaxy M56 5G, in India on April 17, 2025. The much-awaited phone is all set to bring a combination of performance and budget, making it a thrilling choice for buyers who want the best features without sacrificing their wallet. The Galaxy M56 5G is set to replace the Galaxy M55 5G, with some improvements and additions that are bound to find favor with most users.
Design and Build
The Galaxy M56 5G features a minimalist design, with a thickness of just 7.2 mm, which is much thinner than its predecessor. This thin profile, along with a weight of 180 grams, makes the phone both fashionable and easy to grip. The phone has a flat right side for the buttons, deviating from Samsung’s conventional “Key Island” design. The rear panel is enhanced by a pill-shaped camera module, separating the three cameras visually: a 50 MP primary camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. Both the front and back of the phone are shielded with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, providing extra ruggedness against scratches and drops.
Display
The Galaxy M56 5G comes with a beautiful 6.82-inch Super AMOLED+ screen. The display features a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 120 Hz refresh rate, providing smooth and rich visuals. In comparison to the Galaxy M55, the new device has a display that is 33% brighter and boasts 36% thinner bezels, offering an immersive viewing experience. The display also features a 360 Hz touch sampling rate, which means it is very responsive to user input.
Cameras
The camera system of the Galaxy M56 5G is emphasized by Samsung as the “Monster Camera,” even though it lacks a telephoto lens. The 50 MP primary camera with OIS is meant to deliver high-quality shots, particularly in low-lighting, due to an enhanced AI image processor. This processor assists in providing images with true colors and less noise. The phone also has a portrait mode with 2x digital zoom, enabling users to take professional-looking portraits without the telephoto lens. The camera app also comes with AI-driven editing features like Object Eraser and Image Clipper, making it simple to edit images directly on the phone.
The 12 MP front-facing camera is able to record 10-bit HDR videos, something that Samsung dubs as “flagship-grade.” This ensures selfie videos are recorded with high colors and high detail, something that is ideal for vloggers and social media enthusiasts.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, Galaxy M56 5G has the Samsung Exynos 1480 processor accompanied by 8 GB of RAM. The configuration provides a smooth performance in multitasking and extensive app usage. Galaxy M56 5G runs on Android 15, offering the latest software features and security updates. The phone comes with 128 GB of internal storage, which can be extended to 1 TB via a hybrid slot.
The phone comes with a massive 5000 mAh battery supporting fast charging via 45W, so users can enjoy long usage without worrying about battery draining fast.
Connectivity and Other Features
The Galaxy M56 5G provides a number of connectivity options like 5G, 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.3. It also supports a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and face unlock support for fast and secure biometric authentication. It also provides some additional sensors like the accelerometer, gyro sensor, geomagnetic sensor, light sensor, proximity sensor, and compass. The phone does not provide a 3.5 mm headphone jack but provides USB-C charging and data transfer support.
Launch and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy M56 5G will be available for sale on Amazon India after its release on April 17. The phone will be priced at about ₹28,990 in India, which is relatively cheap for a mid-end smartphone. Samsung will, during launch, likely offer a number of offers and promotions on the device to gain more customers towards it.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy M56 5G will be a force to reckon with in the mid-range smartphone market with its attractive blend of design, performance, and features. Its innovative camera capabilities, vibrant and responsive display, and long-lasting battery life will make this smartphone an overnight hit among buyers who are looking for a feature-rich and dependable smartphone at a price tag less than that of a flagship model.
