Lindi, 02 Mar 2025I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I mean, instead ... moreIt's almost like you don't understand Samsung has thousands engineers and designers working on all of their cell phone designs often years in advance. It's not the same team working on the A56 vs ONE UI 7.0.

    These phones are meant for 2020 not for 2025 crowded chinese excellent phone. They could have gone for 6000mah. It's the standard for 5G

      micro sd, 02 Mar 2025no micro sd no buy......bye bye samsung May Samsung experience the lowest sales ever for the A3x and A5x line so they decide to bring back expandable storage next year.

          DarlingYext, 02 Mar 2025Which outstanding and stunning feature of the A56 makes it ... moreExpandable storage is one of the biggest USPs Samsung's midrangers have had over the competition. Would consider an A55 over more powerful Chinese rivals because of that alone. Without it, it would be a no-brainer to consider devices from Nothing, OnePlus, and Redmi from the same price range.

                The launch of the A Series phones have nothing to do with the delay of one UI 7.
                This is their normal yearly A Series launch.

                The One UI delay ensures older phones get proper software. Get over it. It will come eventually.
                Just hope they sort it out and provide decent software updates.

                  Imagine giving one ui 7 to your new mid rangers before the s24 flagships last year... insult to injury much?

                              I hate all these people who cite inflation/"change in industry standard" as reasonings for removal of features but these schmucks don't understand that this is all just planned obsolescence and artificial scarcity, designed to make you want to switch stuff sooner and paying more money for less.

                                S24 fe is better

                                  Decent phones, if you don't need that extra couple of AI stuff or the faster processor, I think the A36 is a better choice this time around.

                                    I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I mean, instead of focusing on releasing One UI 7, they're actually trying to brush it off by introducing some new phones. Samsung's lack of communication has gone too far this time. At least, I hope they come to their senses and give us what we've been waiting for. I just don't know why they're keeping us in the dark.

                                        Keep it there so that A series don't look that similar to S series.
                                        Heck, even iPhones haven't changed much in design since the 11 Pro.
