Samsung launched the Galaxy A55 with Exynos 1480 chipset and triple rear cameras earlier this year. Now, the Galaxy A56 is said to be in the works as a successor. Samsung is yet to confirm its existence, but ahead of it, the unannounced Galaxy A series phone has been reportedly spotted on the IMEI database. It could run on Samsung's new Exynos 1580 chipset. It is anticipated to come with a notable performance boost compared to its predecessor.
