Samsung Galaxy M56 5G India Launch Set for April 17: Sleeker Design, Brighter Display, and AI Camera Tools Revealed

April 11, 2025  — Samsung has officially confirmed the India launch of its upcoming mid-range smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy M56 5G, set for April 17 at 12PM IST. The device is positioned as the successor to the popular Galaxy M55 5G and comes packed with meaningful upgrades in design, display, and camera capabilities, while maintaining its mid-range affordability.

Sleekest in Segment: Slimmer Yet Stronger

Samsung claims the Galaxy M56 5G is 30% slimmer than its predecessor, featuring a 7.2mm thick profile — down from the M55’s 7.8mm — all while maintaining a lightweight 180g frame. Reinforcing this sleek form is Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front, promising 2-meter drop protection and 4x improved scratch resistance compared to previous models.

With its ultra-slim design, Samsung touts the M56 as the thinnest smartphone in its price bracket, which is expected to fall between ₹20,000 and ₹30,000, based on early promotional listings.

Display Enhancements and Visual Upgrades

The Galaxy M56 5G will boast a Super AMOLED+ display with Vision Booster technology, providing 36% slimmer bezels and a 33% brighter screen than the M55. These changes are tailored for enhanced outdoor visibility and immersive content viewing — making it ideal for binge-watching, gaming, and multitasking.

AI-Enhanced Camera System with New Design

Samsung has reimagined the rear camera layout, replacing the M55’s three standalone rings with a pill-shaped camera island, housing a more cohesive setup. The Galaxy M56 5G is confirmed to feature:

• 50MP primary camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)

• 8MP ultra-wide camera

• 2MP macro sensor

• 12MP HDR-enabled front camera for selfies and video calls

The phone also supports enhanced night photography and introduces AI tools like Object Eraser and Image Clipper, giving users more control over creative editing and image optimization.

Performance and Software: What’s Under the Hood

Spotted on Geekbench with model number SM-M566B, the Galaxy M56 5G is expected to ship with:

• Exynos 1480 chipset

• 8GB RAM (with more options likely at launch)

• Android 15 OS with One UI skin

This combination promises smooth multitasking, better energy efficiency, and support for Samsung’s expanding AI-powered software features.

Availability and Variants

The Amazon microsite for the Galaxy M56 5G is already live, confirming that the smartphone will be available exclusively through Amazon India and Samsung’s official store post-launch.

Variants and expected price range:

• 8GB + 128GB — likely around ₹26,999
