Samsung is preparing to launch Galaxy A series devices in the coming month. Earlier this week, Galaxy A56 5G and Galaxy A36 5G appeared indirectly on Samsung France’s website. Now the Galaxy A56 5G phone was also listed on TENAA China, surprise: it seems the camera island’s design is inspired by the Galaxy Note 10, but its other information remained undisclosed.
A tipster Max Jambor spotted the Galaxy A56 5G on the telecommunication Equipment’s Network Access Managements (TENAA) in China with the updated camera design.
This listing shows the front and back look of the Galaxy A56 5G phone, and the back design is simply stunning: The camera island design seems to be inspired by the Galaxy Note 10, but it feels more refined. At the back, the updated camera design includes a pill-shaped module with three cameras and a flashlight, which is separate from the camera module.
Now talking about the front side of the Galaxy A56 phone, the selfie camera is placed in the middle above the screen which is similar to most Galaxy smartphones. The display is flat and bezels around the display seem to be the same size as that of the Galaxy A55, which gives a simple look.
Apart from the updated camera design, the tipster also claims that the phone could come with even more powerful cameras. The phone will likely have a triple-camera system at the back with a 50MP primary lens, 12MP ultrawide sense, and a 5MP macro camera. It may have an upgraded 12MP selfie camera for clean and clear facial shots.
Another big change will be in the software, the Galaxy A56 might come with Android 15-based One UI 7.1. The other phone has also been listed on Geekbench, which indicates that the Galaxy A56 has an Exynos 1580 processor with an octa-core CPU.

As for the cameras, this phone could feature a 200MP primary rear camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus, and a 50MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. Additionally, it includes a 12MP front camera for better selfies.

Samsung has reportedly commenced Android 17-based One UI 9 testing for the Galaxy S26 series. The first-ever Android 17 build has surfaced on Samsung’s firmware server, suggesting an early debut of the next One UI version.
An alleged Android 17 firmware has been listed on CheckFirm (via TarunVats) for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. That said, Samsung kicked off its work on the One UI 9 system for the latest flagship nearly two months earlier than usual.
Based on available information, Samsung is currently testing the BZC5 build on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung will take its time to refine this new operating system for Galaxy devices and will not rush the release of the firmware.
Although testing for One UI 9 has commenced early, this does not imply that it will become available to customers any sooner. Samsung will take the necessary time to optimize this new operating system for Galaxy devices and will not rush the firmware release.
On February 25, Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 series, and these phones will be available starting March 11. A day later, the company began rolling out Beta 6 for the Galaxy S25 series, but it seems this may not be the last beta before the stable version is released. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 series is still receiving updates through the One UI 8.5 beta program.
Samsung One UI 8.5 beta 7
A reliable tipster, @TarunVats, spotted a new One UI 8.5 beta build for the Galaxy S25 series on testing systems. The build ending in ZZC3 indicates that Samsung is preparing the seventh beta update for the S25 phones. It’s worth noting that this build began rolling out in March, but the patch level is still February 2026.
The new build suggests that the beta program is still active even after the Galaxy S26 series launched with One UI 8.5 features and improvements. Galaxy S25 Users may have to wait a little longer for the final stable update.
The latest One UI 8.5 Beta 6 update fixed many problems and improved the phone’s performance, including Bixby, Gallery, Now Bar, Now Brief, Display settings, Modes, and Routines.
At this time, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed how many more beta updates will arrive or when the stable One UI 8.5 version will be released for the Galaxy S25 series and older phones. However, the new beta build is a strong indication that at least one more beta update is on the way. Galaxy S25 users who are part of the beta program should keep an eye out for new updates.
