Samsung Galaxy M56, 'slimmest phone in segment', to launch on April 17

Samsung has confirmed that it will be launching a new M-series smartphone in India next week. The Galaxy M56 5G is expected to be released by the firm on April 17. Samsung has already verified a few features regarding the phone prior to its unveiling. For example, Samsung says that with a thickness of 7.2mm, the smartphone will be the thinnest in its class. That is equivalent to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S25's thickness. It appears that the slimmest phones will be popular this year. Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge, its thinnest phone to date, during the January Galaxy Unpacked presentation.

Samsung Galaxy M65: What can you expect?

The Galaxy M56 5G will include Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and rear panels for protection, according to Samsung's confirmation. It has been established that the device has a metal and glass construction.

Samsung Galaxy M65: Expected pricing

The Galaxy M56 5G's price will be disclosed next week, but we can have a fair idea of what the gadget will cost by comparing it to the Galaxy M55's price from the previous year. The entry-level Galaxy M55 model, which came with 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, was priced at Rs 24,999. The most expensive version now costs Rs 30,999. Even for the most expensive model, Samsung's bank incentives of up to Rs 2,000 reduced the phone's effective price to less than Rs 30,000. This implies that the upcoming Galaxy M56 5G will likely have a comparable pricing.
