Galaxy A56 and Pixel 9a leak in colorful renders, Week 7 in review
This week, we saw the upcoming Galaxy A56 in different colors. We expect the phone in March and speculate it will pack an Exynos 1580 chip, a 5,000mAh (or perhaps 5,100mAh) battery, 45W charging, and a 12MP camera.
While on the topic of unreleased Samsung phones, the Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to weigh less than 160g - that"s lighter than the 162g Galaxy S25. Also, Samsung is expected to bring the new silicon-carbon battery tech in the Galaxy S26 next year.
Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 - its first 6-series chip on the TSMC 4nm node and with ARMv9 CPU cores.
