As usual, Samsung has a busy first month of the year. It is unveiling its new products at this week’s CES, while the Galaxy S25 series launch is set for later in January.
After the flagship launch, the Korean smartphone manufacturer will likely shift its focus to refreshing its mid-range Galaxy A-series smartphones. One of the models we have been hearing a lot about has now surfaced on China’s TENAA certification site, revealing the phone’s design and specs.
Samsung Galaxy A56 TENAA Certification
The device in question is the Galaxy A56. The certification shows that the phone will ditch its predecessor’s long-running design, which housed the rear cameras individually. Instead, the A56 features a protruding camera bar that houses the wide, ultrawide, and macro cameras.
At first glance, the setup looks similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6‘s rear camera layout, complete with an LED flash placed to the right.
From the front, the device appears identical to its predecessor, with curved edges, equally thin bezels, and a punch-hole selfie shooter at the top. However, a closer look reveals a subtle change.
The device seems to sport flat sides all around, except for the top-right side, which features a raised “Key Island.”
The TENAA listing doesn’t reveal much about the device’s specifications. It confirms the phone will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery and will have four cameras—three at the rear and one at the front.
What Can We Expect?
While the listing provides limited information, previous reports suggest the Galaxy A56 will be powered by the Exynos 1580 chip. The phone has appeared on Geekbench with the same chip, scoring 1,341 (single-core) and 3,836 (multi-core).
It will ship with Android 15 and come in two storage variants: 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB.
On the camera front, the Galaxy A56 will reportedly retain the same rear camera setup as its predecessor, comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP depth sensor.
However, the front camera may see a downgrade to a 12MP sensor from the 32MP found on the Galaxy A55. The display will feature an FHD+ 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED screen. Additionally, its 5,000mAh battery will reportedly support 45W fast charging, an improvement over the 25W on its predecessors.
