Samsung Galaxy M56 5G Launched at ₹27,999: Full Specs, Launch Offers & First Impressions

Samsung has launched its latest M-series phone — the Galaxy M56 5G — in India. Priced at ₹27,999 for the base variant (8GB RAM + 128GB storage), the phone brings a fresh design, a powerful in-house processor, and a solid set of features for the price. It's aimed at users looking for a sleek, high-performing device under ₹30,000.

Let’s break down what the Galaxy M56 5G has to offer.

Slim, Sleek & Sturdy Design

One of the biggest highlights of the Galaxy M56 5G is its new design. Samsung has made the device just 7.2mm thick, making it 30% slimmer than the previous generation. The phone features a glass back, a metal camera deco, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for added protection. While there’s no official IP rating, the phone still feels quite premium and sturdy in hand.

It’s available in two color options – Light Green and Black.

Display: Big, Bright & Smooth

The M56 sports a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also supports Vision Booster and goes up to 1200 nits brightness, making it easy to use even under sunlight. Whether you’re streaming content or scrolling through social media, the display feels sharp and fluid.

Performance: Powered by Samsung’s Own Chip

Under the hood, the Galaxy M56 5G runs on the 4nm Exynos 1480 processor — Samsung’s own chipset. It comes with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB storage. There's also a vapor cooling chamber to manage heat during long gaming or streaming sessions. In day-to-day use, this setup should be more than enough for multitasking, casual gaming, and general performance.

Camera: Versatile Setup with OIS

The phone features a triple camera setup:

50MP main sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization)
8MP ultra-wide lens
2MP macro lens

For most users, the camera system should handle regular photography quite well, especially with the addition of OIS, which helps in low light and video stability.

Battery & Software

The Galaxy M56 5G is backed by a 5000mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. You’ll easily get a full day of usage on a single charge.

It runs on One UI 7 based on Android 15, right out of the box. What’s impressive is that Samsung is promising 6 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches, which is rare in this segment.

Price & Launch Offers

8GB + 128GB: ₹27,999
8GB + 256GB: ₹30,999

As a launch offer, Samsung is offering a ₹3,000 instant discount on HDFC Bank cards. The phone goes on sale starting April 23 at 12 PM on Amazon and the Samsung India website.

Final Thoughts

At first glance, the Galaxy M56 5G seems like a well-rounded option for anyone looking for a stylish and powerful mid-range phone. With its slim design, bright display, decent cameras, and long software support, it definitely stands out in the crowded under-30K market. If you're in the market for a new phone around this budget, the M56 5G is worth checking out.
