Samsung Galaxy M56 5G

Yes, it supports 45W fast charging, which is a big step up for the M series. It can get your battery from zero to 50% in about 30 minutes, though you'll need to buy the compatible brick separately since it isn't in the box.

With its 5000 mAh battery, you can easily get 26 hours of video playback on a single charge. For most people, that translates to nearly two days of light to moderate use before needing to reach for a cable.

It's a solid mid-range gamer thanks to the Exynos 1480 chip and a vapor cooling chamber that's 33% larger than before. You'll get stable frame rates in BGMI and Free Fire without the phone feeling like a hot potato in your hands.

Samsung didn't skimp here; it features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both the front and the back. This makes it significantly tougher against drops and scratches compared to older M-series models.

The 50MP main camera with OIS is great for steady daylight shots and decent nightography. The real star for many is the 12MP HDR selfie camera, which is a flagship-grade sensor that makes your video calls and social media posts look very professional.

Unfortunately, it has dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack, so you'll need to use Type-C buds or Bluetooth. It also lacks a microSD slot, so it’s wise to choose the 256GB storage variant if you store a lot of movies or games.

Samsung has promised an impressive 6 years of Android OS upgrades and security patches for this phone.

While it can handle dust and light splashes thanks to its solid build, it doesn't have an official IP67 or IP68 rating. It's best to keep it away from the pool and avoid using it in heavy rain.
