          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.

                      No change from A52

                        Amirul Syafiq, 02 Mar 2025Galaxy A56 blows other Chinese midrange phones out of the water.Which outstanding and stunning feature of the A56 makes it do such a thing? The lack of SD card slot, or the 5MP macro camera, or the ultra super mega fast 45W (still slower than most chinese phones) charging?

                          Good phone, but it has a hole in the display. So no buy 👎🏻

                            2marzan0, 02 Mar 2025Is it worth upgrading for the sake of camera from A55 5G?It has the same cameras, so no obviously not worth upgrading to.

                                I am tired of macro lenses. It is 2025 and companies can STILL get away with putting useless camera module. This is clearly companies gatekeeping certain features for the more expensive phones. Such a shame that Chinese competitors like Xiaomi is also following the trend.

                                    Dont buy phones on release day!
                                    A55 price dropped by €100 in a month and then another 100 in few months. S24 is the same price right now. Even S25 already dropped by €200. True price of this phone is around 300-350, dont get baited.

                                      6 years of updates?
                                      Ehmm... currently Samsung barely manages to update the flagship S23U, S24U.
                                      And there is also the question of what quality those updates will be. Whether it will be a mandatory update or also an improvement of the phone's software.

                                        Is the rear glass matte or glossy? Might be worth it when it's on sale but not at full price.
