Galaxy M56 : Hey friends! There is a new news for Samsung fans, and this time we are talking about Galaxy M56. This phone has recently been spotted on Geekbench, and after seeing its specs, some discussion has started. So let’s talk about it in detail – in Hinglish style, so that you can enjoy as well as understand!
Geekbench Debut of Galaxy M56
So the thing is that Galaxy M56, whose model number is SM-M566B, has appeared in the Geekbench database. It has Exynos 1480 chipset, which is a 4nm processor and has already debuted in Galaxy A55. This chip has 4 Cortex-A78 cores (2.75GHz) and 4 Cortex-A55 cores (2.05GHz), along with Xclipse 530 GPU. Talking about RAM, 8GB is seen, and this phone is running on Android 15. Geekbench scores are out too – 1153 in single-core and 3456 in multi-core. These scores are decent, but there’s a twist!
Exynos 1480 vs Snapdragon 7 Gen 1: What’s the Difference?
Now this is where a little confusion begins. The Galaxy M55, which was launched last year, had the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset – a powerful mid-range processor that comes with Cortex-A710 and A510 cores, and an Adreno 644 GPU. Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 was quite solid, especially for gaming and multitasking. But now, the Galaxy M56 has an Exynos 1480? Why does it feel like a slight downgrade?
The Exynos 1480 has an old CPU architecture – the Cortex-A78 and A55 cores now feel a bit outdated when compared to the Cortex-A710 or the newer A720 cores that the Exynos 1580 (in Galaxy A56). Talking about the GPU, the Xclipse 530 also feels a bit behind the Adreno 644, especially in sustained performance. So, frankly, on paper it seems that the performance of the Galaxy M56 could be slightly less than that of the M55.
What will be the real-life performance?
But friends, it is important to remember one thing here – benchmarks don’t tell everything. The Galaxy A55, which uses the Exynos 1480, was quite smooth and snappy in real-life usage, even feeling better than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in some cases. So it is possible that Samsung has done wonders this time with software optimizations, and the Galaxy M56 can compete with the M55 in daily use. There may be a slight decrease in gaming and heavy tasks, but for casual users it will not be noticeable.
Why did Samsung make this move?
Now the question is why did Samsung do this? The M series is a budget-friendly line-up, and is usually a slightly trimmed-down version of the A series. But after offering Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in the M55, coming back to the Exynos 1480 is a bit surprising. One reason could be cost-cutting – Exynos chips are made in-house, so Samsung probably wants to increase its profit margins. Another could be that Snapdragon is no longer an option due to supply chain issues. Whatever the reason, this move could be a bit disappointing for upgraders who were expecting a step up from the M55.
What could be the rest of the specs?
Geekbench has revealed the chipset, RAM, and OS, but the rest of the specs can only be guessed. The Galaxy M55 had a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, 50MP triple camera, and 5000mAh battery with 45W charging. The M56 is expected to have all of these features or just minor upgrades – like the battery or camera. The price is also expected to be in the range of Rs 25,000-30,000, which is around the launch price of the M55 (Rs 26,999).
So should I upgrade or not?
Now the big question – will the Galaxy M56 upgrade be worth it? If you are using M55, then this may not seem like a big jump, because there is a risk of downgrade in performance. But if you are coming from an old M series phone (like M54 or M53), then the combo of Android 15 and new features with Exynos 1480 is not bad. Pricing and software support (promise of updates) will also depend on whether this deal will be a hit or a miss.
Conclusion
So friends, the appearance of Galaxy M56 on Geekbench is a hint that the launch is not far away. With Exynos 1480, this phone looks a bit controversial – because it looks weaker in comparison to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 of M55. But Samsung still has a chance to make it a hit with software magic and smart pricing. What do you think – is this phone worth buying, or is it better to skip it?
