Samsung’s Galaxy A56 is finally on sale in the US.
It took Samsung four and a half months from announcing the Galaxy A56 to quietly adding it to its US store, though other countries have had the phone since March.
Starting at $499.99, it comes in gray or gray, and is a pretty standard midranger: Exynos 1580 chip, 6.7-inch OLED display, 50-megapixel main camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging.

Who, Me?: 'This, many considered, was bad'Simon Sharwood (The Register)
The image depicts a scene set in a futuristic environment, likely a spaceport or hangar. In the foreground, a woman stands confidently, wearing a vibrant red dress with a black belt, her hands in her pockets. She has short, dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer with a slight smile. The dress features a badge on the left side of her chest.
In the background, several individuals are visible, dressed in various uniforms, suggesting a mix of roles, possibly military or space exploration personnel. They are standing near a white spacecraft with a red stripe, which has its door open, revealing a pilot inside. The spacecraft appears to be a small, sleek design, typical of science fiction settings.
The setting is detailed with architectural elements that suggest a high-tech environment, including metallic surfaces and structural beams. The overall color palette is a mix of whites, reds, and earth tones, contributing to the futuristic atmosphere.
