Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy M56 technical sheet
The Samsung Galaxy M56 suits buyers looking for a slim, lightweight phone with a large Super AMOLED display. Its main trade-off is a 5,000 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB of storage.
The 6.74-inch, 120 Hz display gives room for reading, video, and navigating menus. Its 89% screen-to-body ratio is better than that of most phones of its time. At 7.2 mm thick and 180 g, the Galaxy M56 is among the thinnest and lightest phones launched around then. It also has IP67 protection.
The 50 MP camera records 4K video and includes optical image stabilization. Overall, the camera stands better than most phones launched around the same time. Android 15 and six years of operating system update support add a substantial software commitment. The battery supports 45 W fast charging, although its capacity remains lower than that of most phones of its time.
With a NeoScore of 7.0, the Samsung Galaxy M56 stands better than most phones launched around the same time. It is a compelling fit for anyone prioritizing a large display, a thin and light body, and a well-equipped camera, while accepting a lower-capacity battery.
