FCC docs confirm that the Samsung Galaxy A56 will support 45W charging

Yesterday, the Galaxy A56, A36 and A26 leaked through TÜV Rheinland certifications. A follow-up leak sees the Galaxy A56 appear in FCC documents.

The phone, SM-A566E/DS, is a dual-SIM version of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A56. The “Status information” screenshot shows that the phone is rated for 10V 4.5A charging, i.e. 45W, which confirms what we’ve heard previously. And yes, that’s more than the new flagship Galaxy S25 supports (25W).

FCC docs on the Galaxy A56: charge speed • connectivity

Anyway, the FCC only tested with the EP-TA800, a relatively old charger that tops out at 25W. We’re not sure why the testers chose this one, but it’s not like the A56 is going to ship with a charger.

The phone (the version tested by FCC, at least) supports the following 5G bands: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66, 77, 78. Local connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6 (ax), Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC.

The Samsung Galaxy A56 is expected to be powered by the new Exynos 1580 chipset and a 5,000mAh battery. The Galaxy A36 is also expected to have a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, but that one will be powered by either the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or the 7s Gen 2. About a month ago, there was a leak with the expected Galaxy A56 features and price (£440, same as the A55 launch price).

This isn’t the first Samsung mid-ranger with 45W charging, by the way, that honor goes to the Galaxy M55 from March last year (and its feat was replicated by several M, F and C-branded versions of the hardware).
