Samsung Galaxy A56: The Mid Range King of Bangladesh
Samsung has always produced all types of phones : high end, mid range, and budget, and this wide approach is a big reason behind the brand’s lasting success. From flagship innovation to affordable daily drivers, Samsung has consistently covered every type of user. Today from Mobile Buzz BD, we talk about the latest mid-
addition to this lineup, the Samsung Galaxy A56, tested hands-on through our collaboration-driven review process.
The Galaxy A56 arrives as the successor to the A55, and Samsung has made meaningful changes rather than cosmetic tweaks. A slimmer body, refined materials, and a stronger promise on software updates make it clear that this phone is built with longevity in mind. It feels more confident, more polished, and more focused on real-world use. Samsung seems to be sending a clear message — a mid-range phone should not feel temporary or disposable. Let’s break down our experience with the Galaxy A56 after hands-on testing at Mobile Buzz BD.
Design: Slimmer Body, Premium Feel, Familiar Confidence
The first thing we noticed how slim the Samsung Galaxy A56 feels in hand. Samsung reduced the thickness to around 7.4mm, down from the chunkier A55. This change is immediately noticeable, especially when using the phone for long periods.
Despite its large display, the A56 feels balanced and lighter. The flat aluminum frame has a brushed finish that resists fingerprints better than glossy sides. It feels sturdy, not flashy, and that “classic Samsung” identity is still present.
Build Quality That Matters
Samsung didn’t cut corners here:
- Aluminum frame adds rigidity
- Gorilla Glass Victus Plus protects both front and back
- IP67 water and dust resistance stays, which is still rare in this price range
You can confidently use this phone in rain, dusty roads, or accidental splashes — a big plus for daily life in Bangladesh.
Camera Design Change
Samsung replaced the floating camera rings with a linear camera strip. Some people compare it to older iPhone designs, but in hand, it feels clean and organized. The back panel looks minimal and professional, something that appeals to users who prefer subtle elegance.
Display: Bright, Smooth, and Built for Outdoor Use
The Galaxy A56 comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung displays have always been strong, and the A56 continues that tradition.
Brightness Upgrade You Can Feel
This year’s biggest display improvement is brightness. During testing, we noticed how easily the screen stays readable under harsh sunlight. Samsung claims 1,200 nits in high brightness mode, and in daily use, this makes scrolling, reading, and navigation outdoors comfortable.
Colors look rich without being overly saturated. Blacks are deep, text stays sharp, and video content looks vibrant — exactly what you expect from Samsung AMOLED panels.
The Bezel Situation
One issue remains: non-uniform bezels. The bottom chin is still thicker than the sides. It’s not a deal-breaker, but when competitors manage symmetrical bezels at lower prices, it becomes noticeable. Samsung improved it slightly from last year, but perfection is still missing here.
Performance: Exynos 1580 Steps Forward
Samsung powers the Galaxy A56 with the new Exynos 1580 chipset. On paper, it shows clear gains, and during testing, the improvements are real.
- CPU performance feels faster during multitasking
- GPU boost helps with smoother animations and casual gaming
- 15% larger vapor chamber improves heat management
Everyday Usage
Apps open quickly, switching between social media, browsing, and video streaming feels smooth. There’s no lag during regular use, even with multiple apps running in the background.
Gaming Experience
We tested popular games like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, and Asphalt. The phone holds stable frame rates at medium to high settings. It’s not built for hardcore gaming marathons, but for casual and moderate gaming, the A56 performs confidently without overheating issues.
Software Support: The Biggest Power Move
This is where Samsung truly surprised us.
Samsung promises:
- 6 generations of Android OS updates
- 6 years of security updates
This level of support is almost unheard of in the mid-range segment. Outside of Google’s Pixel lineup, no brand currently matches this commitment.
Why Does This Matter?
A phone with strong hardware but weak software support ages quickly. The Galaxy A56 flips that narrative. You can buy this phone today and realistically use it for five to six years without worrying about missing updates or security risks.
Samsung’s One UI continues to mature. It feels polished, feature-rich, and user-friendly. Animations are smooth, customization options are deep, and system stability is excellent.
Camera Performance: Strong Main Camera, Questionable Extras
The Galaxy A56 features a triple-camera setup, but not all cameras are equally useful.
50MP Main Camera – The Star of the Show
The 50MP primary sensor impressed us. Photos come out sharp with balanced colors and solid dynamic range. Samsung’s image processing keeps things natural without pushing saturation too far.
Portrait mode works well, with accurate edge detection even in complex backgrounds. Daylight photos look reliable, and night shots are surprisingly clean for a mid-range phone.
Selfie Camera Upgrade
Samsung upgraded the front camera to a 12MP sensor with larger pixels. Selfies look sharper, especially indoors and at night. Skin tones look realistic, and the addition of 4K video recording on the front camera is a welcome bonus for vloggers and content creators.
The Macro Camera Issue
The 5MP macro camera feels unnecessary. It lacks autofocus and struggles with consistency. It feels more like a spec-sheet filler rather than a practical tool. Most users will rarely use it.
Battery Life & Charging: Built for Long Days
The Galaxy A56 packs a 5,000mAh battery, and battery life is one of its strongest points.
Real-World Battery Performance
During testing, the phone easily lasted a full day with heavy use — social media, video streaming, navigation, and gaming. With moderate use, it comfortably stretches into the second day.
Faster Charging at Last
Samsung upgraded charging to 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0. The phone reaches about 65% in 30 minutes, which is a noticeable improvement over previous A-series models.
At this price point, wireless charging would have been a nice bonus, but Samsung clearly reserves that feature for its flagship lineup.
Storage & Connectivity Notes
The Galaxy A56 offers generous internal storage options, but expandable memory is missing in some regions. This may matter for users who rely heavily on microSD cards.
Connectivity remains strong with 5G support, stable Wi-Fi performance, and reliable call quality.
Mobile Buzz BD Verdict:
Samsung didn’t just upgrade the A-series — it strengthened it.

Should You Buy the Samsung Galaxy A56?
If long-term software updates, premium build quality, and a bright display matter to you, the Galaxy A56 is a smart choice. Users who can find a Galaxy S24 FE or standard S24 at similar pricing might get better cameras and AI features, but those deals aren’t always available.
For most mid-range buyers in Bangladesh, the Galaxy A56 strikes a confident balance — practical today, reliable tomorrow, and supported far into the future.
