Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A56 5G has been listed on China’s 3C certification website, offering key insights into its charging capabilities. As a successor to the Galaxy A55 5G, the A56 5G will introduce significant upgrades, including support for faster charging, better performance, and possible camera enhancements, making it another exciting addition to Samsung’s mid-range lineup.
Key 3C listing highlights
The 3C certification reveals that the Galaxy A56 5G (model number SM-A5660) will support 45W charging, a clear leap from the 25W charging speed of its predecessor. This improvement brings the Galaxy A56 closer to Samsung’s flagship charging standards, as seen with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, how this upgrade translates to real-world charging performance remains to be seen, especially given the minimal differences observed between 25W and 45W charging speeds in Samsung’s flagship models.
Buyers upgrading from an A or M series device will also need to purchase a compatible 45W adapter separately to fully leverage the enhanced charging speeds.
Other aspects of the Galaxy A56 5G
In addition to faster charging, the Galaxy A56 5G is rumored to feature an Exynos 1580 chipset. Early reports suggest this processor could offer performance similar to the Snapdragon 888, Qualcomm’s 2021 flagship chipset used on the S21 Ultra.
The upcoming A series device also appeared on Geekbench last month with single and multi-core scores of 1341 and 3836 respectively—a significant improvement over the Galaxy A55’s Exynos 1480 chipset, which scores around 1100 and 3400 in the respective tests.
As for the cameras, the rear camera setup is expected to remain unchanged from the A55, with a 50MP+12MP+5MP triple lens. However, the company is expected to use a new 12MP sensor for the front facing camera.
The Galaxy A56 5G is likely to debut sometime in 2025, following the release of the Galaxy S25. While pricing details remain speculative, the Galaxy A55 launched in March 2024 at Rs 39,999 for the base model, offering a potential indicator of the A56’s pricing strategy.
