Samsung Galaxy F56 5G Debuts in India with Android 15, Exynos 1480, and 6 Years of Support

Samsung has launched its latest mid-range smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy F56 5G, in India. The device starts at ₹27,999 for the 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage model. The higher 256 GB storage variant is priced at ₹30,999. It comes in two colour options — Green and Violet.

This new Galaxy F-series phone is designed for users looking for a sleek build, strong display, and years of software support.

A Slim Design with Durable Glass Protection

The Galaxy F56 5G stands out with a slim 7.2mm profile. It features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on both front and back, offering protection against daily scratches and minor drops.

Display Promises Bright and Smooth Experience

The phone sports a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED+ display. It supports a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and has peak brightness of 1200 nits, which should help with visibility under sunlight. However, the panel could feel a bit reflective outdoors without higher brightness or anti-glare coating.

Exynos 1480 and One UI 7 on Board

Powering the device is Samsung’s own Exynos 1480 processor, paired with 8 GB LPDDR5X RAM. Users can choose between 128 GB or 256 GB of internal storage. The phone runs Android 15 out of the box with One UI 7, and Samsung promises 6 years of security updates and 6 Android version upgrades—a rare offering in this segment.

While performance should be fine for day-to-day tasks and gaming, the Exynos 1480 isn’t as tested in this price range as Qualcomm chips, so real-world results will be worth keeping an eye on.

Battery and Charging

The 5,000 mAh battery offers solid endurance, and the phone supports 45W fast charging. However, users should note that Samsung may not bundle a charger in the box.

Cameras: Balanced for Photos and Videos

On the back, the Galaxy F56 5G comes with a 50 MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). It supports Portrait 2.0 with 2X zoom. For videos, it can shoot in 4K at 30 FPS with 10-bit HDR. The 12 MP front camera should be decent for selfies and video calls.

Camera hardware looks promising, though users expecting flagship-grade performance might find results vary in low light.

AI Features and Security

Samsung adds several AI editing tools, including Object Eraser and Edit Suggestions, making photo touch-ups easier. For security, it features Samsung Knox Vault, adding an extra layer of data protection.

Final Thoughts

The Samsung Galaxy F56 targets users who want long-term software support, a good display, and AI-powered tools in a mid-range phone. While the build, battery, and OS support are impressive, performance benchmarks and real-world camera testing will be crucial to determine if it truly stands out.
