Very happy with the phone. Delivery as expected and quality of phone as described. I did have an issue when wrong color was sent but resolved to my satisfaction very efficiently and quickly. I have now bought 3 phones from Back Market with no issues. Would recommend without hesitation.

I received my refurbished Samsung galaxy A56 from Back Market within a couple of days of ordering it. I am really pleased with it. It is like a brand new phone and I would definitely recommend anyone to consider ordering refurbished from Back Market.

I bought it after my old phone was stolen, and am very happy with it. Arrived promptly and is an upgrade on the stolen one. I really like the idea of refurbishing tech and have used Backmarket before - will do so again in future.

The phone arrived next day. It was in pristine condition, in the original box. I am very pleased with it, and saved money!

I’ve been a loyal Back Market customer for years, and once again they didn’t disappoint. I ordered the Samsung A56 urgently after my previous phone broke, and it arrived promptly. The device itself looks almost brand new—nothing about it suggests it’s refurbished. I’m genuinely impressed with the quality and reliability. Thank you, Back Market!

The phone is as new; perfect condition, boxed and sealed (great as it was a gift for my other half). The price was a fraction of that of a new one (Galaxy A56) as was my S20 which I bought from Back Market a couple of years ago. I thoroughly recommend them 🙂

very pleased with my new Galaxy A56.... It seems to be a brand new phone, in a factory sealed box... it is certainly pristine! It seems that it might be an international version rather than a UK version, its got a code A566B/DS in 'about phone'. Whatever, it has set up with all my UK payment cards and apps. Transfer over from my old Samsung was totally seamless. It is a pretty fast phone, battery is excellent and its nicely built. I'd say this was a very good deal considering it was around £150 cheaper than the RRP. All good.

The Samsung Galaxy A56 carries on the Galaxy A series tradition of solid, understated performance and smooth Android experience. Released in early 2024, it’s just one generation off the latest models and stands out for its bright Super AMOLED display and dependable Snapdragon chipset. If it’s a hassle-free, well-rounded smartphone you’re after—without the distracting bells and whistles—the Galaxy A56 features keep things clear and straightforward.

Key features:

Release Date: March 2024
Display: 6.6-inch Super AMOLED, FHD+ (1080 x 2340 px), 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset
Camera: Triple rear cameras: 50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, 5MP macro
Operating System: Ships with Android 14
Build: Plastic frame and Gorilla Glass front for extra durability

Who is this for?

The Galaxy A56 is a steady choice for anyone who wants a midrange, modern Android without fuss. Students, commuters, and everyday users will appreciate the large, responsive screen and simple interface. If you’re not chasing the fanciest features of the flagship S series, the Galaxy A56 specifications strike a good balance between practicality and comfort. Worth noting: the A56 offers a smoother display than the A54 thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate, putting it a step ahead for content scrollers and casual gamers.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Vibrant, high refresh rate display for smooth scrolling.	No wireless charging if you’re hoping for that flagship perk.
Reliable camera system for everyday snaps and social posts.	Plastic frame feels less premium than metal builds.
Wi-Fi 6 ensures future-proof connectivity.	No water or dust resistance rating beyond basic splash proofing.
