Samsung’s Galaxy A56 is on the horizon. Samsung recently trademarked the term “Awesome Intelligence” in Europe, the US, and South Korea. It hints at some new AI features coming to the Galaxy A series, with the A56 being the first to benefit.
The Exynos 1580 chipset (which will power the device) is also reportedly more than capable to handle at least the basic ai functions such as on-device text summarization and basic photo editing like object eraser.
According to GalaxyClub, Samsung will be offering six years of Android updates for the A56, making it the most sustainable Galaxy A phone yet. It’s a big deal for anyone who likes to hold onto their phone for a while.
The upcoming A series devices are expected to launch around mid-March 2025. As for pricing, it’ll probably stay in the same ballpark as previous models. So expect something between €450 and €500 for the base version.
While it’s shaping up to be a solid mid-range phone, there’s one little catch: it’s slightly harder to repair than its predecessor, the Galaxy A55. According to France’s repairability scoring system (yes, they have one of those), the A56 scores 8.4 out of 10, compared to the Galaxy A55’s 8.5. It’s a tiny difference, but it’s there for sure.
What makes it harder to repair?
The score breaks down into different categories. The A56 lost points in the “ease of disassembly” section, scoring 5.0 compared to the A55’s 5.8. This little drop brings the A56 back to the same level as the Galaxy A54, which also scored 8.4 in the test.
Fun fact: the Galaxy A36, which is launching around the same time as the A56, also scores an 8.4. So the internal structure could be very similar if not identical between the two devices. Last year’s models also look almost identical to each other.
