Seemingly out of nowhere – and following a successful Unpacked event for the Galaxy S25 series launch back in January – Samsung has dropped the surprise reveal of its all-new Galaxy A56 handset, coinciding with Mobile World Congress (MWC). I got to test it out in person ahead of 2025's show.
The updated model to last year's impressive yet affordable A55, the Galaxy A56 lines itself up well among the best Android phones, especially if you're seeking one of the better cheap phones available. This year seems to be a hotbed of affordable devices, adjacent to the pricier flagships, with Samsung saving little time following Apple's iPhone 16e reveal.
