The A56 5G further enhances photography with a 12MP ultra-wide lens and “Best Face” technology, which combines the best expressions from group photos.
Both phones also feature refined Object Eraser and custom filter creation tools.
Samsung has prioritized durability and longevity, offering up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, along with six years of security updates.
The devices feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with 1200 nits brightness and stereo speakers. A 5,000mAh battery, coupled with 45W Super Fast Charge 2.0, ensures extended usage.
Powered by the Exynos 1580 chipset (A56 5G) and Snapdragon® 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform (A36 5G), the new Galaxy A series promises enhanced performance.
