Samsung is gearing up to introduce the Galaxy A56 as a successor to the A55, the top-tier non-flagship phone, likely in early 2025. According to multiple reports, including Geekbench listings, the device will feature Samsung’s brand-new Exynos 1580 SoC and come equipped with Android 15, a combination aimed at boosting both performance and efficiency.
The Galaxy A56 performed well on the Geekbench 6.2.2 test, with a single-core score of 1,339 and a multi-core score of 3,847. These numbers reflect a marked improvement over its predecessor, the Galaxy A55, and place the A56 in competition with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor.
The Exynos 1580 is a significant upgrade over the A55’s Exynos 1480. This chipset features an octa-core architecture: one prime core clocked at 2.91GHz for high-performance tasks, three mid-performance cores at 2.60GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.95GHz for everyday tasks and energy-saving performance.
