We were relieved to learn a few days ago that Samsung intends to finally release the Galaxy A56 in the United States. Given that the Galaxy A55 did not enter the United States consumer market until 2024, we believed that might never happen.

The absence of proof that Galaxy A56 firmware was being created for the A56 in the United States further validated our concerns. 

Since there is presently no proof of such firmware development, we recently conjectured that Samsung may plan to release the Galaxy A56 in the USA later than other markets.

In a recent press release, Samsung affirmed this.

In the United States, the Samsung Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26 will go on sale on March 26 and 28. Samsung, however, has not yet announced the Galaxy A56's US debut date.

The Galaxy A56 "will be available later this year starting at $499," according to Samsung. The business did not provide specific launch times or frames. There you have it, then. It's taking a little longer for the Galaxy A56 to land in the USA. 

Samsung's wording suggests that the Galaxy A56 won't likely go on sale this month. "Later this year" implies that the Galaxy A56 will be out of production for a little while longer. However, you never know. In any case, we'll update you as soon as new information becomes available.

The quick panels and app drawers on the two Galaxy phones, however, are essentially identical, as are the animations.

We demonstrate all of these distinctions and parallels in the video that follows. As a little extra fun, we also contrast One UI 7 on the Galaxy A56 with the Galaxy S24 Ultra beta version.

Warning: spoilers! The Galaxy A56 outperforms the S24 Ultra running beta firmware by a small margin.
