1. Which exact phone is this?
This is the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G, SM-A566B family, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, Awesome Graphite. Samsung UK officially sells the 8GB/256GB Awesome Graphite configuration.
2. Is Graphite an official color?
Yes, but Samsung’s full official name is Awesome Graphite.
3. Should MyWorldPhone use “Awesome Graphite”?
Yes. It is more manufacturer-accurate than simply “Graphite.”
4. Is 8GB RAM + 256GB official?
Yes. Samsung lists 8GB memory and 256GB storage for this exact configuration.
5. How much usable storage does Samsung list?
Samsung’s UK specification lists approximately 234.4GB available storage on the 256GB version before user-added content.
6. Does the Galaxy A56 have expandable microSD storage?
No. Samsung’s specification does not provide a microSD slot on the A56.
7. Does Samsung officially call the storage UFS 3.1?
The live MyWorldPhone page says UFS 3.1, but Samsung’s main consumer specification pages reviewed here do not state the UFS generation. For strict manufacturer-only copy, I would simply say 256GB Internal Storage rather than presenting UFS 3.1 as a Samsung-published specification.
8. Is the battery removable?
No. Samsung officially specifies the battery as non-removable.
9. Does it support Dual SIM?
Yes.
10. Does it support eSIM?
Yes. Samsung UK lists Nano-SIM and embedded SIM support.
Exynos 1580 performance
11. Which processor powers the Galaxy A56 5G?
Samsung Exynos 1580. Samsung’s own launch material confirms the A56 uses Exynos 1580.
12. What manufacturing process does Exynos 1580 use?
4nm EUV FinFET.
13. How many CPU cores are there?
Eight.
14. What CPU speeds does Samsung publish for the A56?
Samsung lists 2.9GHz, 2.6GHz and 1.9GHz CPU clock groups.
15. What is the CPU architecture?
Exynos 1580 uses an Armv9 tri-cluster architecture with one big core, three middle cores and four little cores.
16. Is the current 1+3+4 CPU structure on MyWorldPhone correct?
Yes. Your current row gives one high-performance core, three middle-performance cores and four efficiency cores, which aligns with Samsung’s Exynos architecture.
17. Should the detailed Cortex labels remain?
They are technically consistent with Exynos 1580, but Samsung’s Galaxy A56 retail page itself only publishes the clock groups. The safest customer-facing wording is:
Octa-Core | Up to 2.9GHz | 1+3+4 Tri-Cluster Architecture
18. Which GPU does it use?
Samsung Xclipse 540.
19. Is Xclipse 540 an official Samsung specification?
Yes. Samsung Semiconductor explicitly states that Exynos 1580 implements the Xclipse 540 third-generation custom GPU.
20. Does Exynos 1580 have dedicated AI processing?
Yes. Its NPU supports up to 14.7 TOPS according to Samsung Semiconductor.
Cooling, gaming & performance features
21. Does the A56 have an upgraded cooling system?
Yes. Samsung says the A56 has a larger vapor chamber to sustain performance during gaming, video playback and multitasking.
22. Does Samsung publish the exact vapor-chamber area?
Not in the main global launch specification I reviewed, so I would not invent an exact square-millimeter figure.
23. Is the A56 designed for gaming?
Samsung specifically promotes the improved processor and larger cooling system for smoother gaming and multitasking.
24. Can it still heat up?
Yes. A larger vapor chamber reduces and distributes heat; it does not prevent heat generation from gaming, charging, 5G or video recording.
25. Does the Galaxy A56 support Samsung DeX?
No. Samsung’s official specification says Samsung DeX Support: No.
26. Does it support SmartThings?
Yes.
27. Does it support Samsung Knox Vault?
Yes. Samsung specifically advertises EAL5+ certified Knox Vault on the A56.
28. Does Exynos 1580 use an advanced ISP?
Yes. Samsung highlights an upgraded ISP with improved low-light processing and high-resolution camera support.
29. Does Exynos 1580 support very high-resolution sensors?
The chipset supports sensors up to 200MP, although the A56 itself uses a 50MP main camera.
30. Is Xclipse 540 Samsung's own GPU architecture?
Samsung describes it as a third-generation custom Xclipse GPU.
Display
31. How large is the display?
6.7 inches measured as a full rectangle.
32. What is the rounded-corner measurement?
Samsung lists approximately 6.5 inches accounting for rounded corners.
33. What panel technology is used?
Super AMOLED.
34. What is the resolution?
1080 × 2340 FHD+.
35. What is the maximum refresh rate?
120Hz.
36. How many colors does Samsung list?
16 million colors.
37. What brightness does Samsung advertise?
Samsung’s consumer product pages advertise a 1,200-nit Vision Booster.
38. Is the 1,900-nit peak figure on MyWorldPhone necessarily wrong?
Not necessarily. Samsung’s own regional product catalog has published a 1,900-nit peak specification, while its mainstream consumer page emphasizes 1,200 nits Vision Booster. I would label them separately rather than simply saying “1,900 nits brightness.”
Recommended:
Brightness: Up to 1,200 nits Vision Booster | Up to 1,900 nits Peak in Samsung regional specifications
39. Does it support HDR10+?
Yes. Samsung’s own regional newsroom material identifies HDR10+ support.
40. Is the display flat or curved?
It is a conventional flat display, not a curved-edge display.
Display protection & body
41. What glass protects the front?
Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+.
42. What protects the rear?
Samsung says Gorilla Glass Victus+ is used on both the front and rear, excluding the camera glass.
43. Does it have a metal frame?
Yes. Samsung describes it as a solid metal frame.
44. What is its thickness?
7.4mm.
45. What are the full dimensions?
162.2 × 77.5 × 7.4mm.
46. What is the weight?
198g.
47. What IP rating does it have?
IP67.
48. What water test does Samsung state?
Samsung specifies laboratory testing in up to 1 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes.
49. Is it recommended for pools or beaches?
No. Samsung specifically says it is not advised for beach or pool use.
50. Is the water resistance permanent?
No. Samsung says water and dust resistance may decrease over time with normal wear.
Rear camera system
51. How many rear cameras are there?
Three.
52. What are their resolutions?
50MP main + 12MP ultrawide + 5MP macro.
53. What is the main-camera aperture?
f/1.8.
54. Does the main camera autofocus?
Yes.
55. Does it have OIS?
Yes. Samsung explicitly lists rear-camera OIS.
56. What is the ultrawide aperture?
f/2.2.
57. What is the macro aperture?
f/2.4.
58. Does it have a telephoto camera?
No. The rear system consists of main + ultrawide + macro.
59. What maximum zoom does Samsung specify?
Digital zoom up to 10×.
60. Does it have an LED flash?
Yes.
Camera details & AI
61. Should MyWorldPhone keep the 1/1.56-inch main sensor measurement?
That measurement is common in third-party databases, but Samsung’s primary retail specification reviewed here does not publish it. For strict Samsung-sourced copy, use:
50MP | f/1.8 | Autofocus | OIS
62. Should the 123° ultrawide angle remain?
Samsung’s main consumer spec confirms 12MP/f2.2 but does not list that field of view. I would either source it separately or omit it from manufacturer-only copy.
63. Should the 1/3.06-inch ultrawide sensor size remain?
Same issue. It is not necessary and is not present in Samsung’s primary consumer specification.
64. Does the Galaxy A56 have Nightography improvements?
Yes. Samsung specifically highlights improved low-light photography and Low Noise Mode.
65. Does the selfie camera benefit from Low Noise Mode?
Yes. Samsung specifically says Low Noise Mode is available on the 12MP front camera.
66. What is Best Face?
Best Face lets the A56 select better facial expressions from frames within a Motion Photo and combine them into a group photo. Samsung says it can recognize up to five people.
67. Does it support Object Eraser?
Yes.
68. Does it support Auto Trim?
Yes.
69. Does it support custom Filters?
Yes.
70. Does it support Edit Suggestion?
Yes.
Front camera & video
71. What is the front-camera resolution?
12MP. Your top MyWorldPhone metafield is correct.
72. What is its aperture?
f/2.2.
73. Does the selfie camera autofocus?
No.
74. Does the selfie camera have OIS?
No.
75. What is the maximum official video-recording resolution?
UHD 4K at 30fps.
76. Does the front camera support HDR video?
Yes. Samsung specifically promotes 10-bit HDR front-camera recording on the A56.
77. Does it support slow-motion recording?
Yes. Samsung lists 240fps at HD resolution.
78. Does Samsung advertise improved selfie video?
Yes. Samsung’s business report specifically mentions an enhanced selfie-video experience with the 12MP front sensor and 10-bit HDR.
79. Does it support Super HDR selfies/videos?
Samsung promotes HDR-enhanced front-camera capture, including 10-bit HDR video.
80. Is the current MyWorldPhone front-camera field correct?
Yes: 12MP is correct.
Battery & charging
81. What is the typical battery capacity?
5,000mAh typical.
82. What is the rated/minimum battery capacity?
Samsung gives approximately 4,905mAh rated.
83. What video playback time does Samsung advertise?
Up to 29 hours under Samsung’s testing methodology.
84. What is the maximum charging power?
45W Super Fast Charging 2.0.
85. Is the current 45W specification on MyWorldPhone correct?
Yes.
86. Is “65% in 30 minutes” official?
Yes. Samsung’s own newsroom materials have advertised approximately 65% in 30 minutes under qualifying charging conditions.
87. Is “100% in 68 minutes” official?
Samsung’s own regional newsroom also published approximately 68 minutes to full under its test conditions.
88. Should these times be guaranteed?
No. Use:
Up to approximately 65% in 30 minutes and full charge in around 68 minutes under Samsung test conditions; actual charging time varies.
89. Does the Galaxy A56 support wireless charging?
No. Samsung has explicitly confirmed that the A56 does not support inductive/wireless charging.
90. Is a charger included in the standard box?
No. Samsung UK explicitly says the A56 does not include a travel adapter.
SIM, network & connectivity
91. What SIM combinations does SM-A566B/DS support?
Samsung lists:
SIM 1 + SIM 2
SIM 1 + eSIM
Dual eSIM
with two active lines maximum.
92. What 5G bands does Samsung UK list for SM-A566B?
Samsung UK lists sub-6 5G bands including n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n77 and n78.
93. Does that guarantee complete U.S. carrier support?
No. The international A566B band set omits some frequencies used heavily in the U.S., and carrier activation also depends on IMEI eligibility, firmware, VoLTE/IMS provisioning and carrier policy.
94. What Wi-Fi does it support?
Wi-Fi 6 / 802.11ax, on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, with HE80, MIMO and 1024-QAM.
95. Does it support Wi-Fi 6E?
Samsung’s SM-A566B specification lists only 2.4GHz + 5GHz, so I would not advertise Wi-Fi 6E or 6GHz.
96. What Bluetooth version does it use?
Bluetooth 5.3.
97. Does it support NFC?
Yes, with availability/functionality potentially varying by market.
98. What USB specification does it use?
USB Type-C, USB 2.0.
99. Does it have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
No. Samsung lists the earphone interface as USB Type-C.
100. What other important features should buyers know about?
It includes stereo speakers, optical in-display fingerprint recognition, accelerometer, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, light sensor, virtual proximity sensing, GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo/QZSS, Samsung Knox Vault, SmartThings and up to six generations of OS upgrades plus six years of security updates.
Factory-unlocked status does not guarantee service on every network. In particular, the international SM-A566B has a different radio configuration from Samsung’s North American SM-A566W/A566U variants. The safest retail wording is to tell customers to verify bands, IMEI eligibility, eSIM support and VoLTE/IMS provisioning with their carrier rather than using the old GSM/CDMA distinction.
