Samsung is gearing up for its next Galaxy A series release after the success of Galaxy A35 and A55. A recent report confirms that Galaxy A56 is currently in development. And as of now, it appears that Samsung is conducting network tests for the Galaxy A56.
Smartprix in one of its recent reports confirmed that the Galaxy A56 5G is being tested and is slated for release early next year. The report also confirms that the device has been listed as “Galaxy S56 5G” and will feature a 5G chipset.
This aligns with a few previous reports that hinted that Galaxy A56 will come equipped with the Exynos 1580 processor.

The model number of the Galaxy A56 is confirmed as SM-A566B/DS. This closely follows the same numbering pattern as of its predecessor Galaxy A55, which was listed with model number – SM-A556B/DS.
It also indicates that Samsung is progressing with its usual rounds of testing for its new devices.

The Galaxy A56 is expected to be powered by the Exynos 1580 processor. This can be confirmed since it has already been benchmarked and reportedly performs on par with the Snapdragon 888.
The Exynos 1580 has an internal codename “santa.” It is paired with the Xclipse 540 GPU, which is an upgrade from the Exynos 1480 and Xclipse 530 found in the Galaxy A55.
Geekbench 5 score of Exynos 1580 (codename Santa) has been detected.
Single-core : 1046 pts
Multi-core : 3678 ptsEquivalent to Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100.
CPU : Cortex-A720 + Cortex-A720 x3 + Cortex-A520 x4
GPU : Xclipse 540https://t.co/nVT6jNVZwt— Quadrans Muralis (@QaM_Section31) July 26, 2024
Earlier this year, an X (previously Twitter) user tipped that the Exynos 1580 will most likely feature 4 Cortex-A720 cores and 4 Cortex-A520 cores. Both configurations promise an improved performance.
Samsung is also likely to extend software update support for the Galaxy A56.
Currently, we have limited details about the upcoming device. However, the recent reports of possible network tests suggest the official launch isn’t too far off.
The Galaxy A56 is expected to be unveiled in March 2025. More information on the launch and the device itself is expected to follow in the coming months.
