Exquisite, Slim Sleek Aesthetic with Awesome Intelligence that takes Galaxy A Series to the Next Level
The latest Samsung Galaxy A56 5G has come out with a new, fresh look – an exquisite slim design with a stylish twist and ‘Awesome Intelligence’ – a suite of AI-powered features that are taking the Galaxy A Series to greater heights.
You can now make a statement with a mix of minimalism and durability while also featuring a clean, linear grouped camera layout with a premium glass back. This latest Galaxy A56 smartphone is built with a slimmer bezel and flat side frame – offering a slim, stylish feel and finish. The minimalist yet elegant rear design of the Galaxy A56 features a clean, vertically aligned three-lens camera layout with black camera rings that further enhance the refined aesthetic.
Also, you can now snap awesome selfies with the improved 12 MP front camera[1] on Galaxy A56 5G which captures vibrant photos. Your selfies are now shareable just the way they are. With the upgraded 50 MP camera[2] on Galaxy A56 5G – you will get excellent photos and videos. This upgraded camera feature identifies the sky, skin, face, hair and grass and enhances the image quality for you instantly.

The front camera of the Galaxy A56 5G is also improved to get optimal colours and contrast for high-res selfie videos. This enhancement allows you to shoot awesome and superb selfie photos and videos of your adventures and everyday life in Super HDR. The cameras on the new Galaxy A56 5G can now absorb more light for low noise and they come with high-resolution Nightography[3] feature as well as additional wide camera support that enables you to capture stunning content in low-light settings.
Now available exclusively on Galaxy A56 5G is the Best Face[4] feature that makes it easier than ever to capture the perfect group shot by selecting and combining the best expressions or features for up to five people from a motion photo. Whether someone blinked or looked away, Best Face ensures everyone looks their best in a single, seamless shot. With Best Face, you can now take the perfect group photos that everyone will love.
We all know that group selfies don’t always go as planned — someone could be blinking or have an awkward expression on their face. But with the Best Face feature, those slip-ups are an easy fix. Best Face analyses the multiple frames of pictures taken using Motion Photo to recommend the best ones. All that’s left for Galaxy A56 5G users to do afterwards is to simply browse through the suggested frames and select a flawless group selfie where everyone looks their best.
This latest Galaxy A56 5G is also designed with durability in mind. It features a solid metal frame and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+[5] that keeps the Awesome design of Galaxy A56 5G looking great. Plus, with IP67 protection[6], this latest smartphone can handle splashes and is safe from dirt and dust. The advanced Corning® Glass cover material adds an extra layer of durability against scratches and cracks.
Importantly, this latest Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is designed to offer a faster and smoother user experience compared to its predecessors in the Galaxy A series family. It also comes packed with other incredible features that include an Exynos 1580 processor, a larger 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate7 as well as AI-driven features. These improvements contribute to a more fluid and responsive user experience, especially for tasks like gaming, multi-tasking and video playback.
