In the Geekbench 6.2.2 cross-platform benchmark, the rumoured Samsung Galaxy A56 had 1,353 and 3,832 single and multi-core scores, respectively. These scores are slightly higher than the previously reported standalone benchmark scores of the Exynos 1580, which came out to be 1,046 in single-core testing and 3,678 for multi-core testing.

IMEI Listing

According to a report, the purported Samsung Galaxy A56 made its appearance on the IMEI database with the model number SM-A566B/DS. It is expected to debut Samsung's new mid-range Exynos 1580 chipset, which has reportedly been codenamed 'Santa' and may compete with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 SoC. The chip is speculated to bring significant performance upgrades over the Exynos 1480 processor that powers the Galaxy A55 5G.

While no release date has been reported, the purported handset may follow the launch timeline of the Galaxy A55 and debut in the first quarter of the next year.
