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

        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..

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

                1989, 02 Mar 2025My next phone. Love samsung midrangers. Very good amd rdna ... moreTill 2030 maximum.

                  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 ☹️

                    Nerfing A56 is for the sake of boosting S and S FE sales.

                        The same rear cameras and pointless macro lens. Switch to telephoto lens Samsung and bring back the SD card slot.

                          kramark, 02 Mar 2025No expandable storage on either the A36 and A56 is such a bummer!Agreed, feels like it's purposely done. And to speed up new purchases.

                            They aren’t losing anything improving the cameras. Who the heck is using the macro camera. Even a 2x telephoto would be really good.

                                What about the proximity sensor? Does this still have the virtual one?

                                  Meh

                                  This phone is mid.

                                    wait i thought they did announce 12 gb ram? even for a36

                                      ugly phone with a disgusting removal of an amazing feature (micro sd card slot) from an ugly company.

                                        They could have at least given this phone DEX mode.
