Samsung launches Galaxy M56 with One UI 7, starts from Rs 24,999 | Technology News

Samsung, on Thursday, announced the launch of the Galaxy M56, which it says is the slimmest phone in its price segment. The latest mid-range phone from the South Korean phone maker is powered the Exynos 1480 chipset.
Weighing 180 grams, the Galaxy M56 happens to be one of the lightest and thinnest Galaxy M series devices. It is only 7.2mm thick, a bit less than the recently launched Galaxy A56, which we reviewed sometime ago.
The Galaxy M56 packs in a 6.74-inch Super AMOLED+ panel with a FullHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, which the company claims is 33 per cent brighter and has 36 per cent less bezels than its predecessor. The screen and the glass back both are protected Gorilla Glass Victus Plus.

And while the Exynos 1480 isn’t as fast as the Exynos 1580 on the Galaxy A56, it boasts a larger vapour chamber compared to the Galaxy M55, which should help these Exynos chips run a bit cooler.

Available in 128GB and 256GB variants, the Galaxy M56 comes with 8GB of RAM and has a dual SIM card slot alongside a USB 2.0 Type-C port. It comes with One UI 7 based on Android 15 out of the box. Also, like most newly launched Samsung devices, the Galaxy M56 will be getting six years of Android updates and security patches.
On the back, you get Samsung’s new elliptical camera island that houses a 50MP primary sensor alongside an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro shooter. Like the Galaxy A56, you also get a bunch of Galaxy AI features like Object Eraser, Image Clipper and Edit Suggestions.
Another similarity is that its more expensive cousin, the Galaxy M56 packs in a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support. However, the newly launched phone misses out on a few things like NFC and IP rating.Story continues below this ad
