Samsung Galaxy A56 Geekbench listing reveals performance score, specs | Tech Tips

Leaks and online sightings of the next batch of Samsung Galaxy mid-range A-series phones are emerging. The latest appearance is of the Samsung Galaxy A56 on Geekbench. This reveals the potential performance of the underlying Exynos 1580 processor. We also gather the phone has been tested with the latest Android software. Here are the details:

Samsung Galaxy A56 Geekbench scores

• As per the Geekbench scorecard, Galaxy A56 has the model number SM-A566B. The ‘B’ letter suggests this is a global model.
• The phone (with Exynos 1580 chipset) has scored 1,341 in single-core and 3,836 in multi-core tests.
• These are better scores than what the Galaxy A55 (with Exynos 1480 SoC) scored in our in-house test (1,148 in single-core and 3,447 in multi-core). That’s promising!

Exynos 1580 is codenamed Santa (model number S5E8855) and is said to perform similar, if not better than 2021 chips like the Snapdragon 888 (present inside phones like Samsung Galaxy S21). Well, the leaked Geekbench scores of Exynos 1580 are more than our Galaxy S21 Geekbench scores, viz., 896 in single-core and 3,254 in multi-core.

Samsung Galaxy A56: what else we know

From the Geekbench screenshot, we learn it is running on Android 15-based One UI 7.0. The company is yet to announce this software update.

Coming back to the chip, it seems to have a prime core (Cortex-A720 at 2.91 GHz), three performance cores (again, Cortex-A720 at 2.60GHz) and four efficiency cores (Cortex-A520 at 1.95 GHz). Its predecessor the Exynos 1480, meanwhile has four Cortex A-78 performance cores clocked at 2.75 GHz and four Cortex-A55 running at 2.0 GHz.

The Geekbench records suggest the chip is using an Xclipse 540 GPU (codenamed Angle, which could be based on a newer RDNA 3 architecture.) and a more capable NPU (for AI tasks).

The tested model has 8GB of RAM. It could come in more options like the Galaxy A55. In India, this phone is available in 8/12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

We should be getting more details in the months leading up to the launch event. The Galaxy A55 5G arrived in India in March 2024.
