Samsung has been actively testing the Galaxy A56, and nearly two weeks after the first leak, the smartphone appeared in the latest Geekbench database. Previous rumors suggested that the Galaxy A56 would be equipped with an Exynos 1580 SoC, and today's Geekbench results confirm this. The Exynos 1580, with the internal codename Santa, is now shown running on a smartphone. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the device will be released soon.
Galaxy A56 Specifications
Indeed, Samsung was developing the Galaxy A56 while also working on the new Exynos 1580 SoC, which is intended for this smartphone. The Geekbench database shows that the Galaxy A56 operates on the Exynos 1580 SoC. This processor demonstrates performance levels similar to the Snapdragon 888. This suggests that the upcoming mid-range models in 2025 will mirror the performance of flagship devices from 2021.
The Exynos 1580 was first noted in July under the model number S5E8855. The smartphone achieved scores of 1341 for single-core and 3836 for multi-core performance. Three years ago, the Snapdragon 888 delivered comparable Geekbench scores. The model number for the Galaxy A56 is SM-A566B, where the letter B at the end signifies that it is a device tailored for the global market. Additionally, Samsung is also working on another smartphone in the Galaxy A series, and we will provide updates about it soon.
Upcoming Galaxy A Series
As of now, there is no further information available regarding the Galaxy A56. The new additions to the Galaxy A series are anticipated to be launched in the first quarter of 2025, specifically in March 2025. We will keep you updated on any new developments.
