Samsung’s next budget phone will charge almost twice as fast as its expensive flagship model, leaked documents revealed Tuesday.
The mid-range Galaxy A56 will support 45-watt charging while the premium S25 remains stuck at 25 watts.
Tech insider Evan Blass shared detailed images and potential specifications through his Substack newsletter. The leaks show a redesigned phone in four colors – silver, pink, black, and pale green.

Samsung has made notable design changes to the Galaxy A56. The new look features a pill-shaped camera housing that combines three lenses into one unit, a clear departure from the isolated lens design used in previous models.
The phone keeps the distinctive raised power button area from last year’s model but adds flatter edges, similar to recent iPhones. Last month, regulatory filings from China’s TENAA agency confirmed these design changes.
Early reports point to Samsung’s Exynos 1580 processor and a 5,000 mAh battery, though these details await official confirmation. The camera setup likely includes a 50MP primary lens paired with 12MP ultrawide and 5MP macro cameras. However, the final specifications remain unconfirmed until Samsung’s official announcement.
The A56 looks set to launch in March alongside two usual budget models, the A36 and A26. The timing is head-to-head with Apple’s upcoming iPhone SE 4 and Google’s Pixel 9a.
U.S. customers might miss out again, though. Samsung skipped America with last year’s A55 despite strong sales of the previous A54 model, which cost $449. The company hasn’t announced pricing or availability for any region yet.
If confirmed, the faster charging capability would mark an unusual move in Samsung’s product strategy. Typically, premium features appear first in flagship phones before reaching less expensive models.
