    The screen is getting bigger 6.7” but the pixel density is not upgraded, it goes down to 385 pixel. Are they crazy?..

      Is it worth upgrading for the sake of camera from A55 5G?

        Buy S24+ 12/256 for 490$ instead of this trash

          zillion, 02 Mar 2025Can you see the price different? Redmi Note 14P+ cheaper th... moreredmi note 14 Pro+ 12 490 CZK (499 EUR), A56 11 990 CZK (478 EUR), promo price till 13th April 10 990 CZK (438 Eur). The prices very in every country, especially when your country doesn't use EURO. You can not look just to European prices. Magic 200 is no longer on sale here, someone mentioned it as an alternative. Those same differences are even in flagship territory, Honor Magic 7 Pro being more expensive than S25 Ultra and 16 Pro Max. Even last year Magic 6 Pro was more expensive than S24 Ultra and 15 Pro Max.

            Why are the midrangers so big? I know that many people like big phones, but the dimensions, especially the width, are big even for a 6.7" phone (when compared to Chinese competitors).

              GSMArena trolls are so funny thinking Xiaomi still offers better midrangers.
              Here the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus is the same price with a 50% slower CPU in single core performance. Not to mention outdated Android 14 out of the box with 3 promised updates—only up to Android 17. A56 will be updated until Android 21. Xiaomi is a joke. Hating on Samsung just to hate, SMH.

                  The same price as OnePlus 13R or OP12. I notice that people adopting $300+ from Chinese brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi, or Vivo have far better experience than they used to be with midrange Samsung.

                      Anonymous, 02 Mar 2025Such a shame that the SD slot is no more! And shame they made it less versatile than a dumb phone with a headphone jack....

                        yjfoeg, 02 Mar 2025Ah yes they offered 12GB RAM for A55 but go back to 8GB for A56.They do offer 12/256 still.

Each have the same RAM for these prices. Based on the official prices there is a 29 euro difference. However, in Europe prices vary from country to country and Xiaomi usually quotes their lowest price on launch but then proceed to charge more in some European countries (they have often done this in the past). I don't follow Samsung so I'm not sure if they do the same. Basically, based on launch price they are similarly priced. Neither are particularly good value at launch prices but that is almost always the case for newly launched phones. Buying slightly older models on sale will almost always give way better value for money

                                  No expandable storage on either the A36 and A56 is such a bummer!
