The candidate for the middle range repeats formula and adds a new ingredient

Samsung has a new secret weapon to conquer the mid -range of 2025. The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is a dish made with the same usual recipe, but with a very typical ingredient of Samsung: The integration of artificial intelligence.

This mid -range galaxy does not give up one of the fashion characteristics, as well as small improvements in hardware to remain a firm aspiring for the best middle range of the year. I have had some first impressions with this phone, and I tell you what I found in this first contact.

A winning design and improved hardware

The first thing that attracts attention in the new Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is its design. His predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy A55had the classic rear clean with independent cameras, without any module or strip. In this generation, the new model is committed to A differential design within the Galaxy familywith a strip that unifies the triple camera.

In my opinion this is a success, it gives a completely differential touch in front of the rest of his brothers, making it clear that the family A has its own identity. This phone still has one of the best ergonomies on its sides, since on its right it has a cleft so that the thumb fits perfectly. It is also Something lighter and thinin addition to being finished in glass and aluminum, such as the most premium mobiles.

About performance, he will touch on the review. The new exynos 1580 is an unknown and, although it comes to compete with the 7th series of MediaTek and Qualcomm, it will see how it behaves in Benchmarks. The first impressions with basic apps and menus are positivebut in the analysis we will deepen how this model behaves in more demanding scenarios.

Its panel, 6.7 -inch Superamoled with a maximum brightness of 1,200 nits has seemed correct for its price although, one more year, I think that Working with frontal bezels is improvable. They are, perhaps, too high for a device with a starting price of almost 500 euros.

One of the great novelties for this generation is the integration of artificial intelligence. It is something different and a more limited tad than the Galaxy AI of the Galaxy S25, but it has enough functions.

• Object eliminator
• Best Face: Edits by the photos in which the subjects come out with their eyes closed or “rare” expressions at the facial level
• Editing suggestions by AI
• Personalized filters
• Automatic video cutting by selecting the best moments for AI
• Selection by the contents on the screen to perform functions adapted to the content
• Reading articles and voice web pages

This is one of the few mid -range phones in which there is a deep integration of AI, one that we will have to try in depth in the analysis. However, if this integration adds Android 15, One UI 7 a cycle of six -year updates (well above what manufacturers even offers in the high range), the combination is completely winning.

A phone that will step loudly in the mid -range

No, the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is not the mid-range phone with better quality-precio, but that is not its goal. This is a phone for which he wants a phone below 500 euros, with reliable and lasting software, a design that is familiar and comfortable, and under the support of one of the largest weight companies in the industry.

These first impressions leave us a good taste with their design, screen and potential at the software level. Now he has to conquer performance and chamber.
