The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is Samsung’s upper mid-range all-rounder, built around the faster Exynos 1580 chipset, a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with HDR10+ and 45W Super Fast Charging. Its camera system is a step up from cheaper A-series phones: a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, a 12 MP ultra-wide and a 5 MP macro camera, plus a 12 MP front camera that records 4K video. At ₹32,999 for the 8 GB + 128 GB variant, it is well below its ₹41,999 launch price, which makes it one of the strongest value picks in Samsung’s current line-up.
