Every year when A5X and A3X are released, I see headlines like "too much." lol
And there are discounts every year, so that's not a problem.

            What I mean is that they gave the 12gb ram to India (The only country that I know of for now, you can correct me if I'm wrong)

            They give out 8gb ram to most of the world that's why I'm saying that 6gb ram and 8gb ram is not enough for six years of os update. That at least samsung should make the 12gb ram variant available in all regions and the 128gb should be 256gb, minimum should be 256gb and have option for a higher space variant.

              Anonymous, 20 hours agoThey're also selling a 128gb variant. With those apps and OS that are getting heavier every year, I legitly wonder how someone can survive using a 128GB phone for 6 years from now on. Well except if you only use this phone purely for chat and social media, but why get this phone for those things when A16 can also do the same job for cheaper.

Big No The sad true is, that last years Exynos 1480, plus 2400 are good and this years Exynos 1580 is even better than Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which you can find in devices such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+, Nothing phone 3a series and realme 14 Pro/Pro+. Which sadly are more expensive in my country than A56 in its 8/256 GB variant. Nothing also need to corect their photo and video quality.

                                The A56 could be a good midrange phone,with a massive discount, not at this crazy price,of course
