Slimmer and lighter design Now, if you are someone who prefers a slimmer smartphone, then the Galaxy M56 5G can be a good choice for you. At just 7.2mm in thickness and 180g in weight, the Galaxy M56 5G is among the slimmest phones in the Galaxy M series. Samsung claims it's 30 per cent slimmer than its predecessor, making it easier to hold and carry. The design is complemented by a minimalist rear layout and subtle colour options.

Gets a bright 120Hz display The 6.73-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display features a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling. It also includes Vision Booster support, which adjusts screen brightness and contrast in real time for better outdoor visibility. Samsung says the screen is 33 per cent brighter than the M55’s.

Triple rear camera setup The M56 5G sports a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor that supports optical image stabilisation (OIS). It also includes an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro shooter. The camera setup is designed for versatile photography, from landscapes to close-up shots. Considering Samsung has been using the 50MP sensor in several other phones, we expect that the phone will deliver good overall image quality.
Enhanced selfie camera On the front, the phone offers a 12MP selfie camera with HDR video support, which helps in delivering clearer and better-lit selfies even in challenging lighting conditions.

The Galaxy M56 5G ships with Android 15 and One UI 7 out of the box. Samsung promises six years of major OS upgrades and security updates, which is currently among the longest support cycles in the Android ecosystem.
