Galaxy A56 5G

Galaxy A56 5G — specifications that matter for accessories

The Galaxy A56 5G is a model from the Samsung Galaxy A50 series. It has a flat 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen (1080 × 2340, 120 Hz) with the camera in a centred hole. The front and back are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, and the frame is made of aluminium. The body measures 162.2 × 77.5 × 7.4 mm, weighs about 198 g and is rated IP67.

The three cameras (50 MP main) sit on a single, slightly raised island. The fingerprint reader is in the screen. Wired charging via USB-C reaches up to 45 W; the phone does not support wireless charging.

Tempered glass, hybrid glass and film for the Galaxy A56 5G

Screen protection

For the flat screen you can choose tempered glass — hard and scratch-resistant — or thinner hybrid glass, which handles knocks to the edge better. The screen protector films category includes hydrogel, ceramic and matte films. There is also matte privacy glass. Screen protection is offered by GrizzGlass, Tech-Protect, Spigen and Samsung, among others.

Camera and back protection

The raised island is the first to touch the table. It is protected by camera glass, and the glass back by a back film if you do not use a case.

How to choose accessories for the Galaxy A56 5G

• Compatibility with the Galaxy A36 5G — the Galaxy A36 5G has a screen of the same size and similar dimensions, which is why manufacturers label some cases and glass as compatible with both models. Accessories for the Galaxy A55 5G do not fit — the A56 is thinner and has a larger screen. When buying, always check the compatibility list in each product description.
• Magnets — a case with a ring lets you attach magnetic holders, wallets and stands, but it does not enable wireless charging.
• 45 W charger — full power is delivered by a USB-C PD charger with PPS and a cable rated for 5 A.
