After pulling the curtains off the Galaxy S25 trio at Unpacked, Samsung is prepping to launch the mid-range Galaxy A56 and A36 phones in March. The upcoming A-series phones will serve as successors to last year’s Galaxy A55 and A35. Interestingly, the upper variant — the Galaxy A56 — has also appeared on an FCC listing, revealing the charging speeds.
Galaxy A56 clears FCC certification ahead of March debut
The Galaxy A56 will launch globally in mid-March. With an expected price under $450, it’s set to offer near-flagship specs, staying true to the A-series legacy. Right on schedule, the Galaxy A56 has cleared FCC certification, which reveals that it will have better charging speeds than the Galaxy S25.
The Galaxy A56 supports 45W wired charging, according to the FCC certification (via MySmartPrice). It’s not the first time the charging speed has come to light. Previous certifications and listings have also confirmed the same. The base Galaxy S25 caps at 25W wired charging speed, which is one of the few reasons why choosing the Galaxy S25+ or S25 Ultra makes more sense. In one line, it doesn’t make sense why Samsung is showing more love to the A-series than to the flagship S-series.

As MySmartPrice adds, the upcoming Galaxy A56 5G will support a wide range of connectivity options, including GSM, WCDMA, LTE FDD, and 5G. It will be compatible with 5G bands such as n1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66, 77, and 78. The device will also feature Bluetooth 5.4, GNSS, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6E.
In addition, the leaked specs say that the Galaxy A56 will sport a 6.6-inch screen with a 120Hz FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display. Speaking of cameras, it might get a 50MP primary lens, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro camera. It’s more likely to house an Exynos 1580 chipset and a 4,905mAh battery. The battery is also a jump from the Galaxy S25’s 4,000mAh battery. Ideally, it will boot up Android 15-based One UI 7.0. There’s a slight chance it could offer six years of software upgrades as well.
