Samsung Galaxy A56 is in the works with huge performance boost
Samsung has started working on the Galaxy A56 months ago, presumably, but it's only now that we get our first proof of the matter via a listing in an IMEI database. The Galaxy A56 appears with its model number SM-A566B/DS. For reference, an A55 variation had the model number SM-A556B/DS, so things are clear here.
Interestingly, Samsung's Exynos 1580 chipset, which should be at the helm of the Galaxy A56 when it launches, will bring a significant performance boost compared to its predecessor.
In fact, according to a Geekbench run from July, the Exynos 1580 is around the performance of flagship 2021 chipsets like the Snapdragon 888. For a mid-range SoC, that's pretty impressive. And it has the chance to finally allow the best selling A series device to not be kneecapped by its performance for the first time in a while.
Please note that the Galaxy A55 was made official this March, so its successor could still be quite a long way off.
