the Samsung Galaxy a56 is a long
0:02
anticipated smartphone and it is finally
0:05
official let's see what it brings to the
0:09
[Music]
0:15
table many of those who are looking at a
0:18
phone like the Galaxy a56 are interested
0:22
in eim support so let's answer that
0:24
question first does the a56 support eim
0:29
yes that's the good news the a56
0:33
supports
0:35
eim now let's get on to some other
0:39
exciting details about this mid-range
0:42
smartphone Samsung has announced that
0:45
this galaxy a56 is also getting six
0:49
years of major Android support six who
0:53
years now take note that this phone
0:56
launches with one UI 7.0 based on
0:59
Android
1:00
15 6 years of software update means that
1:03
it will get Android 16 Android 17
1:07
Android
1:08
189 120 and
1:13
121 so if you buy this you are going to
1:17
be getting software updates for it all
1:20
the way through till the year
1:22
2031 and that sounds fantastic if you
1:25
ask me this is a
1:27
$499 smartphone after all it comes in
1:32
two storage options 128 gig storage 256
1:36
gig storage there is only one option of
1:39
ram I was hoping that we will get 12 gab
1:43
Ram you know at the upper layer but well
1:46
Samsung has given us only 8 gigaby of
1:49
ram we'll just have to make do with that
1:52
now the Galaxy a56 also comes with IP67
1:56
dust and water protection meaning it is
1:58
protected from dust
2:00
and it is protected from splashes from
2:03
drops and from being immersed in water
2:07
but of no deeper than 1 M and for no
2:10
more than 30 minutes so if your phone
2:13
happens to drop into a bowl of water a
2:15
bucket a small pool that's not deeper
2:18
than 1 M it can survive being submerged
2:20
in it for at least 30 minutes what about
2:23
performance I have mentioned that it
2:25
comes with only 8 gab of
2:27
RAM for performance this is the first
2:31
smartphone that is using the exos 1580
2:34
chipset from Samsung that means that
2:37
there is nothing to compare it with
2:39
pretty much to say how exactly it will
2:41
perform but Samsung says that the xos
2:43
1580 chipset brings a big Improvement
2:48
compared to the chipset in the Galaxy
2:50
a56 predecessor if we take Samsungs
2:54
world for it that will be significant
2:55
performance to handle most tax minus the
2:58
most demand in now I am a fan of compact
3:03
smartphones and the Galaxy a56 is not
3:06
compact it has a massive 6.7 in Super
3:10
AMOLED display that is protected by a
3:14
heat of Gorilla Glass
3:17
victurus but it is an extremely thin
3:21
smartphone the thickness is only 7.4
3:26
mm
3:28
now in my experience thin smartphones
3:32
are handier than thick smartphones so
3:35
even when I can't get a compact
3:37
smartphone I try to make sure that it is
3:39
thin it just makes it easier to handle
3:42
so while I have not handled Galaxy a56
3:45
yet I am expecting that a 7.4 mm
3:49
thickness will mean that it is handier
3:53
than the average smartphone of the same
3:57
size let's keep fingers crossed for that
4:00
right yeah there's a 5,000 Mah power
4:02
battery in there which has been standard
4:05
for about a year or two now most
4:08
smartphones in the mid-range in the
4:10
entry level category have at least a
4:13
5,000 mamp battery so you should get
4:16
good battery life out of this for
4:18
charging Samsung has included 45 wat
4:22
charging that means in practice that you
4:25
should be able to charge the Galaxy a56
4:27
from 0 to 65% in about 30 minutes and
4:31
from 0 to 100 in about 68 to 70 minutes
4:35
that sounds lovely I like it on paper
4:38
however I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy
4:41
a06 recently and while Samsung says that
4:44
guy had 25 wat fast charging it did not
4:47
it charged pretty slowly so again we're
4:51
keeping fingers crossed for this time to
4:53
switch over to see what the cameras have
4:55
to offer nothing new really there are no
4:58
significant changes from the Galaxy a56
5:02
predecessor there's a 12 megapixel
5:04
Snapper in front for your selfies
5:07
there's a 50 megapix main camera at the
5:10
back there's a 12 megapix Ultra wide
5:13
camera along with it and then there's a
5:15
5 megapixel macro lens the big
5:18
difference Samsung says is that all of
5:21
them all of these cameras front and back
5:23
are powered by Ai and so it should get
5:26
you better results better details better
5:28
performance we're keeping fingers
5:31
crossed for that the Samsung Galaxy a56
5:35
comes in four color schemes there's
5:37
graphite there's Olive there's pink and
5:40
there's gray it looks like a good enough
5:43
layout for you to choose to find
5:46
something that you love if you like
5:48
bright that's bright if you like it cool
5:50
and calm the options are there for you I
5:53
must not forget to mention that there is
5:55
no memory card slot in this phone so
5:59
you're stock with the 128 GB storage or
6:02
256 GB storage that you buy and then you
6:06
can fall back on online storage for your
6:10
backups thankfully the fingerprint
6:13
scanner is in display not in the power
6:17
button I can't wait for side mounted
6:19
fingerprint scanners to Die the
6:23
a56 has one in the display and that's
6:27
good news for me I hope it's good news
6:29
for every everyone else what are we
6:31
talking about
6:32
pricing us resident I have good news for
6:35
you the a56 is coming to the United
6:37
States for now we have information only
6:41
about one variant the 128 gigabyte
6:44
variant I'm not sure perhaps to avoid
6:48
competition with other Samsung phones
6:50
that are a little bit above the a56
6:53
Samsung is not offering a 256 gab
6:55
version in the US that's a conjecture
6:58
you know I'm feeling in the blank
7:00
but for now we know that you're getting
7:02
8 G Ram 128 gig storage in the United
7:05
States and that will cost
7:10
$499 in the United Kingdom the 256 GB
7:15
variant will sell for
7:19
£499 the guys in the European Union are
7:22
getting both variants the lower variant
7:26
with 120 gig storage costs 4
7:30
79 while the higher variant with 256 gig
7:33
storage costs
7:36
529 I'm not sure why they get all the
7:40
options and while the UK and the
7:44
US I'm trying not to do the job of
7:47
filling in the blanks but this is the
7:49
information we have available if more
7:52
details are released later and there are
7:54
options available we'll talk about that
7:56
later as well so this is the Samsung
7:59
Galaxy
8:00
a56 it's a mid-range device at a nice
8:05
sweet spot in terms of pricing that
8:07
offers a whole lot of features that look
8:11
good and exciting and we hope that they
8:14
live up to expectations I'll see you in
8:17
