Review Of The Newly Released Samsung Galaxy A56 5G: Is It Worth Buying Or Should You Pass?

The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is officially available in Indonesia starting today, Friday, March 28, 2025. This premium mid-range smartphone from Samsung features several enhancements compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, which was released in March 2024. 

Notable improvements include the design and display, battery performance, low-light photography and videography capabilities, as well as a suite of artificial intelligence features branded as 'Awesome Intelligence.' 

In terms of pricing, the Galaxy A56 is slightly more expensive than the Galaxy A55 at its launch. Here is a comparison of the prices: 

- Samsung Galaxy A56 5G 8/128GB: IDR 6,199,000 (previously IDR 5,999,000 for the Samsung Galaxy A55 AG). 

- Samsung Galaxy A56 5G 8/256GB: IDR 6,699,000 (previously IDR 6,499,000 for the Samsung Galaxy A55 AG). 

- Samsung Galaxy A56 5G 12/256GB: IDR 7,199,000 (previously IDR 6,899,000 for the Samsung Galaxy A55 AG). 

The increase in prices for 5G smartphones has been a widely discussed topic since late last year, attributed to various factors such as rising component costs, the strengthening of the US dollar against the Indonesian rupiah, and inflation. 

So, is it worth upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy A56? Read CNBC Indonesia's insights after testing the Samsung Galaxy A56 for about a week! 

Spacious Display, Lightweight, Ergonomic Design 

At first glance, the design language of the Galaxy A56 closely resembles that of its predecessor. The most noticeable change is the camera panel design, which now integrates three main cameras into a single unit. 

In contrast, the Galaxy A55 featured a 'boba' camera design arranged vertically, similar to the Galaxy S24 series, which has been retained in the Galaxy S25 series. 

It appears that Samsung aims to distinguish the appearance of mid-range phones from flagship models in 2025. In our opinion, whether one prefers the 'boba' design or the integrated style is subjective and depends on individual taste
