        Please pay attention to the fingerprint scanner when reviewing. I don't easily forget the issues with the A55...

        Thanks and a nice day!

          Did this phone really have to look like an A55 with a pre-installed camera protector?

              Please review if the animations are smooth. That's my biggest issue with Samsung mid rangers. They often dont feel smooth. That and the bulky frame. A51 was perfect to hold. Since then they are too bulky to be comfortable to hold.

                      Why is it as wide as the S25 Ultra?

                        does this device also use a removable camera bump decoration like the s25 ultra?

                          potato4k, 17 hours agoLet's see how the 1580 fares. I'm still annoyed ... moreYes, the width in particular is a joke. The build quality is excellent - aluminium frame and Victus+. I imagine the cameras will be underwhelming. I personally wouldn't buy a Samsung for that reason.

                            I'm still annoyed about the bulkiness of the phone. Seriously, 78mm in width? Add on a case and it's just not comfortable to hold.

                              Right.

                                I didn’t expect the design to look this good in person. Flagship-like. Really unfortunate that the SD slot is gone now. I still think the A5X series is the best value on the smartphone market.

                                      Samsung's mistake is not having a 2.5x zoom or 3x zoom telephoto sensor
                                      the settings are basically the same as the a54 and a55...
                                      there is no attraction that would make you want to buy the a56...
                                      unlike the competition that is already using telephoto and periscope sensors in their mid-range devices
