    Samsung Galaxy A56 5G FAQs:

    • Is the Samsung Galaxy A56 a budget phone?

      The Samsung Galaxy A56 is considered a mid-range phone rather than a budget phone. This price point places it above typical budget phones, which are usually more affordable.
      However, the A56 offers a range of premium features such as a 6.7" Super AMOLED Infinity-O display, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 256GB of storage, making it a great value for its price.
    • Is the Samsung Galaxy A56 the best phone in the A series?

      The Samsung Galaxy A56 is one of the top models in the Galaxy A series, but whether it's the best depends on your specific needs and preferences. The Galaxy A56 offers impressive features such as a 6.7" Super AMOLED Infinity-O display, 120Hz refresh rate, 5000mAh battery, and up to 256GB of storage.

      However, other models like the Galaxy A55, A36, and A26 also offer similar high-end features and might be more suitable depending on your budget and requirements. The Galaxy A series is known for providing a range of options to cater to different user needs, from entry-level to mid-range devices.

    • Is the Samsung Galaxy A56 always on display?

      Yes, the Samsung Galaxy A56 has Always On Display. It features a vibrant display that showcases all your favourite content. The spacious 6.7" Super AMOLED Infinity-O display delivers vivid colour and detail thanks to its 1200 nits brightness and FHD+ resolution. Plus, with a 120Hz refresh rate, everything you do feels responsive too.
    • Does the Samsung Galaxy A56 have SD expandable storage?

      No, the Samsung Galaxy A56 does not have SD expandable storage. But with storage for all your apps, photos, and files, you will not have to concern yourself with removing photos and videos to create additional space, as you can store up to 256GB of content locally.
    • Is the Samsung Galaxy A56 waterproof?

      The Samsung Galaxy A56 is safe from the elements. The IP67 rating means the screen and hardware are protected against splashes and dust intrusion12. This rating ensures the device can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes.
    • How durable is the Samsung Galaxy A56?

      The Samsung Galaxy A56 is as tough as it is beautiful. With a durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ display, you won't have to worry about drops. This makes the screen resistant to scratches and cracks, ensuring it can handle everyday use with ease.
    • Changes to the 3G network.

      We’re making big changes to our network. Like the UK’s other mobile providers, we’ll be switching off our 3G service later this year. This will help us improve our 4G and 5G network, so more people across the UK can benefit from faster, more reliable connections.

      If you’re joining us, the SIM card that comes with your phone will give you our best 4G and 5G coverage. You can use this SIM in a different phone if you like, but we recommend using a 4G or 5G device for the best connection. Want to know more? Take a look at our helpful guide and FAQs.
