Samsung Galaxy A56 certification reveals its battery capacity
The Samsung Galaxy A56 is coming soon with a new design for its camera island, an upgraded selfie camera, the Exynos 1580 SoC, and support for 45W wired charging (a first for the Galaxy A series, believe it or not).
The phone's journey towards launch has now completed an additional necessary step: certification for sale in China by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Obviously the Chinese-bound version got the nod, and this one has the model number SM-A5660.
The certification reveals that the phone will sport a battery rated at 4,905 mAh. Note that smartphone makers advertise the typical capacity, not the rated one, and the typical capacity is higher. So expect this to be around 5,000-5,100 mAh.
The A56 unsurprisingly supports 5G, GPS, dual-SIM, and will run Android 15 out of the box, with One UI 7 on top. This means it's still at least over a month out at this point, since the latest iteration of Samsung's skin will make its debut on the Galaxy S25 family that is getting official towards the end of this month.

The A56 is not for the A55 user, as the S25 is not for the S24 user. Boring incremental changes to all these models don't mean much unless you're upgrading from a 3 to 4 year old handset, which is what normies do.

There will be an A26, but featuring the same SOC as the A25 with a higher clock speed.

There's definitely an improvement. Especially in terms of the graphics portion of the chip, the new 1580 has roughly double the cores and performance on the graphics portion compared to the 1480
