Samsung Galaxy A56 unveiled with AI, better specs, and a familiar look


Samsung also announced the cheaper Galaxy A36 and A26

Samsung is dubbing it “Awesome Intelligence” on the A56 to make it sound more appealing to average users, but it’s similar to most other AI feature sets we’ve seen on phones like the Pixel 9 and iPhone 16. There’s Best Face which analyzes burst group photos and lets you merge them to ensure everyone’s facial expressions are what you want (think Best Take on the Pixel), an updated Object Eraser, Circle to Search, and Google Gemini, among other smaller features. For $499, the Galaxy A56 gets you a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, triple rear cameras (50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, 5MP macro), an Exynos 1580 chip, up to 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage.
