Samsung launched the Galaxy A55 with Exynos 1480 chipset and triple rear cameras earlier this year. Now, the Galaxy A56 is said to be in the works as a successor. Samsung is yet to confirm its existence, but ahead of it, the unannounced Galaxy A series phone has been reportedly spotted on the IMEI database. It could run on Samsung's new Exynos 1580 chipset. It is anticipated to come with a notable performance boost compared to its predecessor.

As per a report by Smartprix, the Samsung Galaxy A56 has made its appearance on the IMEI database with the model number SM-A566B/DS. Notably, the Galaxy A55 is associated with model number SM-A556B/DS.

The Galaxy A55 came with Samsung's in-house Exynos 1480 chipset in March this year. Based on this, the publication suggests that the Exynos 1580 chipset would debut with the upcoming Galaxy A56. This midrange chipset codenamed 'Santa' could be as powerful as the Snapdragon 888 SoC. It could use a three-cluster CPU architecture and would bring significant performance upgrades over Exynos 1480.
