Our review
On design and display, the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G gives you a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, 120Hz in a 198g body — that gives you plenty of room for video, maps and everyday reading. For performance, the Exynos 1580 is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage — that is comfortable pace for everyday apps and casual gaming. For cameras, you get 50MP main (OIS) + 12MP ultrawide + 5MP macro, plus a 12MP selfie camera — that covers the everyday essentials well — family snaps, holidays and social posts. Battery is 5,000mAh, and charging is 45W wired — that is built for long days — road trips, big work days and weekends away from a charger. Here in Australia it sells for A$699 including GST — that makes it one of the easiest phones on this page to recommend on value — you get a lot of phone for the money.
Who it's for: Regional travellers, tradies and anyone who spends long days away from a charger and students, families and value hunters.
