Samsung Galaxy A56

It costs less than a flagship and packs some great features, but at its launch price it's a tough sell

- 

Samsung's Galaxy A56 could be excellent after a glance at its specs. It has a big screen, upgraded internals and double the starting storage of the flagship Galaxy S25, not to mention a new glass and metal design, plus water resistance.

With so much competition, the Galaxy A56 has its work cut out for it, though. So does Samsung's A-series still represent value in 2025, or is its price bump year-on-year pushing it too far into the premium space?

The Galaxy A56 is slimmer, measuring 7.4mm compared to the 8.2mm A55, and the screen is also slightly larger at 6.7 inches – though thanks to the slimmer bezel, the front isn't any larger.
