Samsung fans have known the Galaxy A56 is on the way — it was always a matter of when, not if — but now we have renders that confirm concrete details that we didn’t know before. Thanks to new renders from Android Headlines and OnLeaks, we have a clear look at the Samsung Galaxy A56’s design.
The Galaxy A56 isn’t just a reskinned version of an earlier device. Per these renders, it looks more like Samsung took the best parts of different handsets and put them all together in a single build. All buttons are on the right-hand side with a raised thumb anchor, while the other sides of the phone are Kansas-flat. These renders show a power button, a volume rocker, and the camera island on the upper left-hand back side of the phone. You can see the images for yourself in the included video.
Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy A56 Smartphone 2025 Leaked CAD Render
The front of the A56 has a pinhole camera centered at the top. Hopefully, it’s just an issue with the render, but the bezels look somewhat thicker than expected, although they are still thin. The bottom bezel looks distinctly larger than the other three sides, although the reason why isn’t immediately clear.
Android HeadlinesDetails are scarce regarding specs, but a Geekbench score suggested the Exynos 1580 chip will be the brains behind the operation. The Galaxy A56 could also come with 45-watt charging speeds, just like the S24 Ultra — and if that’s the case, it would help solve the slow charging complaints about the Galaxy A series.
Android HeadlinesThe Galaxy A55 was met with middling reception from fans, and though it had a lot to offer, it also fell short in several ways. The phone was uncomfortable to hold, lacked wireless charging, and couldn’t even charged wired as quickly as its competitors. Some of the design choices made by the Galaxy A56 look like they’ll directly address these problems. Fingers crossed.
The Galaxy A56 is expected to be a Google Pixel 8a rival and launch in March 2025. Unfortunately, there’s no confirmation on whether this phone will make it stateside.

We just got an early tease for Samsung’s next folding phones
Samsung, like most other phone manufacturers, sticks to a pretty predictable schedule: a new numbered iteration per model per year. That's why we weren't surprised to hear that a Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 were slated for 2025, but we now have confirmation. Their codenames just leaked, and we also learned of an unexpected third model.
GalaxyClub broke the news after receiving information from Samsung. According to the site, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is code-named B7, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is code-named Q7. There's also a third model with the code name Q7M, but it's not clear what this entry actually is. Since it bears a derivative code name, this handset is likely a spinoff of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 — though we don't know what that entails.

Samsung’s great midrange phones might have a disappointing 2025
The Galaxy A55 is a solid, serviceable midrange phone. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that a flagship would have, but if you're just looking for a day-to-day gadget and you aren't a power user, it's more than enough. Today, news broke about its successor, the Galaxy A56 — and it's both good and bad.
According to Galaxy Club, the Galaxy A56 will get a new front-facing camera and do away with the 32MP one that's been the same since the Galaxy A51. This is good news as the 32MP camera is outdated, to say the least. The Galaxy A56 could get a 12MP front-facing camera, even possibly the same sensor used in the Galaxy S line.

The first Galaxy S27 details just leaked. Here’s what we know
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is due to release in January, and we've heard next to nothing about the Galaxy S26. Why, then, did we just get the first details on the Galaxy S27? The release is a full generation away, but Samsung is reportedly already working on the chipset.
Dubbed "Ulysses," this new Exynos chipset is still in the earliest stages of development. Mass production is planned in 2026, but a lot can happen between now and then. Tipster Jukanlosreve first noticed the news on the Korean site SEDaily. The article is written in Korean, but I found the translation to be easy enough to understand. Fair warning: Google Translate doesn't handle formatting well.
