The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G launched way back in March, offering six years of OS upgrades, faster charging than the Galaxy S25, and a competitive price tag. The phone still hasn’t launched in the US, but it’s making waves in other markets.

Counterpoint Research reports that Galaxy A56 5G sales in Western Europe were up 12% over the Galaxy A55 5G in their first seven weeks of availability. That’s pretty impressive, as there’s no shortage of mid-range phones in the region. Samsung has to contend with offerings from Google, HONOR, Motorola, realme, Xiaomi, and more.
