According to some Samsung Community posts, the latest software update for the Galaxy A56 is causing some bootloop issues. The update itself isn’t big and brings some minor improvements to the software experience, with the most notable one being the ability to launch Gemini by a long press of the power button.
In any case, after installing the update, some users are reporting bootloops, essentially bricking their phones. The bad news is that Samsung has yet to acknowledge the issue, but the good news is that the workaround is very easy. You just have to power off the phone, remove the SIM card and start up the phone again. Once the OS boots, insert the SIM card.
Interestingly enough, the update reached the Galaxy A26 and A36, but no such issues have been reported.
