Samsung is gearing up to add a new device to its popular M-series lineup in India — the Galaxy M56. Set to launch on April 17, the phone will be sold exclusively through Amazon, which already has a teaser microsite live. With the tagline “the monsterest monster,” Samsung is clearly aiming to grab attention, and the specs show it’s more than just marketing talk.
Design
Right off the bat, the Galaxy M56 impresses with its slim and lightweight design. At 7.2mm thick and 180g in weight, it’s shaping up to be one of the sleekest mid-range smartphones out there. That makes it ideal for users who want a device that’s both powerful and easy to carry.
The display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, offering better scratch and drop resistance. Samsung is also boasting that the screen is 33% brighter and has 26% slimmer bezels compared to the previous M-series model. That means you’ll get more screen, less border, and better visibility — even outdoors.
Cameras
The 12MP front camera supports HDR selfie video, a feature not commonly found in this price range. If you love vlogging or video chatting with good lighting and color detail, this could be a solid perk.
Around the back, there’s a triple camera setup featuring:
- 50MP main sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)
- 8MP ultra-wide lens
- 2MP macro camera
The camera system is backed by Samsung’s growing suite of AI-powered editing tools. These include Object Eraser to remove unwanted elements from your shots, Image Clipper to extract subjects, and Edit Suggestions for smart photo enhancements. These features aim to bring pro-level photography to everyday users without the need for third-party apps.
Performance
Earlier this month, the Galaxy M56 popped up in the Geekbench database, giving us a sneak peek at what’s under the hood. It’s powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset and paired with 8GB of RAM, so it should be more than capable of handling day-to-day tasks, multitasking, and some light gaming.
Even more interesting is that the prototype was spotted running Android 15 — meaning Samsung is likely planning to ship the M56 with the latest version of Android right out of the box, or at least make it one of the first to receive the update soon after launch.

Expectations
