Samsung Galaxy is likely to feature a camera setup that is similar to its previous models, featuring a 50MP rear camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro lens. 

However, the South Korean tech giant is allegedly bringing a few significant modifications to the front camera, upgrading from the 32MP sensor to a 12MP sensor, to enhance the selfie quality, even in dark conditions.

Furthermore, Samsung has begun to test a new processor identified by the model number S5E8855 along with a codenamed “Santa,” which is likely to be integrated into the forthcoming Galaxy A56. This chipset is expected to be dubbed as the Exynos 1580, a successor to the Exynos 1480 equipped in the Galaxy A55.

Pricing details are still unknown, but the Galaxy A56 is expected to fall in the €450 to €500 range, aligning with previous models in the A5x series.

Moreover, the South Korean tech giant is seemingly extending its update policy for the Galaxy A56, which is quite reminiscent of the Galaxy A16. It offers six years of updates, including six significant Android upgrades, making it a substantial choice for users who require software longevity in a mid-range device.
