>After the Samsung Galaxy S and Z foldable series, the Galaxy A5x series is likely the most popular in the company's portfolio for good reason
You always have articles about the reports how the A1x and A0x are the most popular Samsung phones

I'm noticing a trend.
+ A50: A whole revamp of the A series from before, and a major success overall.
- A51: Disappointing. Barely an improvement over the A50.
+ A52: Brought back the IP rating, OIS, and the stereo speakers. Geeat-for-its-time 90Hz display and a decent enough Snapdragon chipset. Massive W overall.
- A53: Other than the 120Hz display and the 5G, it's not an improvement over the A52.
+ A54: Massive improvements to the camera, a good redesign, and a better chipset. While it's not the most groundbreaking, it's quite a lot better than the A53.
- A55: Not that much better than the A54. Slightly better battery life and some build quality improvements. But, as we know, glass is glass and glass breaks.
If one year's model is good, next year's is just ok.
If this track record is anything to go by, waiting for the A56 may prove worthy. That said, nothing is absolute, and there is no proof that Samsung won't mess up the A56 and maybe even the A57.
We will have to wait and see.

If you think about it calmly, this is the S20FE that was released four years ago. Is it worth buying at a high price now?

"Front camera: 13 MP Sony IMX616, f/2.2, 1/2.74", 0.8µm, fixed focus; 2160p@30fps"
32 MP*
"Wide (main): 50 MP Sony IMX906, f/1.8, 1/1.56", PDAF, OIS; 2160p@30fps"
What's the source for the sensor being the IMX906? I can't even find an official website for the sensor.

In review they said S23 FE has better display, faster chipset, better camera experience (has 3x telephoto too), wireless charging, as well as other neat tidbits like Samsung DeX, reverse charging, better ingress protection, etc. The Galaxy S23 FE is objectively the better phone.
S23 FE scored 4.0
A55 scored 4.1
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Pumpino, 27 Mar 2024Massive bezels, a poor fingerprint sensor, an ordinary came... moreBecause other phones have no availability with phone carriers, which is the case of my country. It's easy to go to your phone carrier and get this one, because no carrier carries the Xiaomi 13T, only a few Redmi models which are an awful option, and nope, people here rarely purchase online.
P.S. Please mt404 don't downvote my comment, have mercy on me!

They look like smartphones for 200 euros. Terribly thick frames.

I think software experience plays a vital role in why people wants to buy a samsung phone. The average user won't really notice if a phone could open instagram 0.5 sec faster than another phone, nor would even care about benchmark scores unless they are gamers, and because of that, the first thing they see when picking a phone is if the software is good or not. I mean, say what you want about oneui, but you can't deny that it's the most feature packed os in the android ecosystem.

TechJocky, 28 Mar 2024Who wants to experience ads on Chinese alternatives? Better... moreWhy do people complain about ads? I set my region to Australia if I buy a Xiaomi and I've not seen a single ad. I believe you can turn them off with any region anyway.
