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

    Waiting for full review and probably will get it in couple months when price usually drops by 100 euros

      This article has a fair bit of incorrect info. Looking at Samsung's own website, both A36 and A56 have 12GB+256GB variants; and the selfie camera on A56 is not the same as the one on A55. Someone wrote this in a hurry and without much fact checking.

        Not too bad I'd say. At this starting price I'd rather get S24FE, but after a year I'd buy this for 300€.

          Samsung does officially details A56 with 12GB RAM with 256GB Storage... doesn't mention the price though

              Quite expensive. No need to buy if you have A55, A55 is enough for a phone, has very good battery, big screen and it's price is nice

                          Seeing the spec sheet I assume the SD slot is gone? Base config has 256GB of storage, so that is thoughtful.

                            Anonymous, 02 Mar 2025They aren’t losing anything improving the cameras. Who the ... moreTrue .. but at least you get an 12 mpix ultra wide on the A56. No old crappy 8 mpix like on Chinese brands

                              Now this thing gets more updates than slightly older flagship of theirs that cost 1500€. Thanks Samsung. Not angry that they improved this, I'm angry they didn't do it retroactively for some models back, at least their god damn flagships if anything. But nope.

                                "The phones will launch with Android 15"... Not like Xiaomi launching new phones with an older Android version..

                                  Anonymous, 02 Mar 2025Agreed, feels like it's purposely done. And to speed u... moreSpeed up new purchases there's no other phones or hardly anything out there SD slot so it's not going to speed up purchases 🙄

                                    You should have mentioned that the A56 is lighter than the A55 (198g vs 213g), which is kinda nice

                                        The removal of MicroSDXC expandable storage slot for both A56 and A36 are just, purely disappointing, but it was expected that I had the feeling that both A55 and A35 were the last of their kind to have MicroSDXC card slot expansion to be frank ☹️
