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.

              Nikojas, 02 Mar 2025Is the rear glass matte or glossy? Might be worth it when i... moreGlossy.

                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.

                      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

                                  Does this have a physical proximity sensor?
