Samsung fans in the US have been eagerly waiting for the mid-range Galaxy A56, which made its debut globally about three months ago. Despite the anticipation, the device has not yet appeared in the American market, leaving many to speculate whether Samsung had altered its plans.

Fortunately, recent updates suggest that the Galaxy A56 is indeed still scheduled for release in the US in 2025. The Galaxy A56 is recognized for offering excellent value within the mid-range segment.

Its appeal is heightened by Samsung’s commitment to providing extended software support, including numerous major OS updates. This has garnered significant interest from consumers who seek a more affordable alternative to flagship models like the Galaxy S series.

Interestingly, some reports indicate that the delay in launching the A56 in the US might be a strategic decision by Samsung. Currently, the company is marketing the Galaxy S24 FE in North America, which, despite being a more premium device, comes at a higher price point and offers better profit margins.

Introducing the A56 too soon could divert sales from the S24 FE, potentially impacting Samsung’s profitability. In March, Samsung confirmed intentions to launch the Galaxy A56 “later this year” in the US.

Though there has been little communication since then, conflicting timelines have emerged, with the A36 already available while the A56 remains pending. However, new reports indicate progress on the device’s arrival.

SamMobile has confirmed that Samsung is actively developing firmware for the US version of the Galaxy A56, bearing the model number SM-A566U1. This ongoing work serves as a promising sign that the A56 will eventually reach US consumers.

While an exact release date is still unknown, Samsung has disclosed a planned price of $499 for the device. More information on the launch is anticipated soon.
