People here will trash a 180g 7.2mm phone for using „outdated“ li-ion technology, then praise a 199g 8mm phone with 6000mAh just because it advertises to use si/c, even though the energy density is barely different

    IpsDisplay, 17 Apr 2025Slow claps 👏 When I thought Samsung couldn't get m... moreIt would still probably sell due to branding. It's just funny how they didn't have water resistance for a sealed battery phone.

      samsung and outdated 5000 mAh li-ion batteries are a match made in heaven

        Anonymous, 17 Apr 2025M51 is still the best from "M" series. 7,000 bat... moreYes, completely agree with you. M51 is king. m56 with 5000mah is beyond joke :( Really, samsung.......w t f.

          Slow claps 👏

          When I thought Samsung couldn't get more anti-innovative they just break the world record with this smartphone

          Imagine Samsung releases the M 51 with 7000mah battery and over the years they reduced it to 5000mah

          But it doesn't end there , in the era of battery size massive increases Samsung's plan is to reduce the thickness by 30% with outdated 5000mah cells

          The complete opposite of what you would expect from this type of smartphone series!!!!!!

              M51 is still the best from "M" series.
              7,000 battery is the game changer.

                They went from making the A15 back look like the S23 to this phone looking like a A -12s

                  nice

                    Samsung has made a huge mistake with the M5X for the past few years and that is the long gone the huge battery replaced with the standard 5000mAh battery moreover now where the competition already in the 8000mAh realm, M56 should have used SD 6G4 with 10000mAh battery, 6.9in screen is also nice

                      Anonymous, 17 Apr 2025M for MONSTER, what is monster in this phone? 33% bigger... moreIt's a Monster sized scam.

                        Cepelinai, 17 Apr 2025This release highlights the sad state of Samsung. I'... moreyeah the midrange to budget market is pretty disappointing for the most part and it's better to either suck up and keep buying these OR to save up and get a second hand flagship and then replace the battery.

                          xfrqnx, 17 Apr 2025they still not using silicon carbon battery? why not bring ... morei highly doubt Samsung is going to use Si/C battery, it seems to be a China only thing for at least 2-3 more years. Not to mention the fact that Samsung has been highly conservative with its battery for the most part after the Note7 thing.

                            This release highlights the sad state of Samsung.

                            I'm comparing M56 with my current phone, a 5 year old Samsung M31s and other than the chipset I see only downgrades. And M31s was considered a midrange phone among the M class back in 2020!

                            Model: M56 - M31s
                            Screen PPI: 382 PPI - 405 PPI
                            Chipset: Exynos 1480 - Exynos 9611 (only notable upgrade for M56)
                            Memory card: Unspecified - microSDXC dedicated slot
                            Rear cameras: 50/8/2(!) MP - 64/12(!)/5/5 MP
                            Front camera: 12 MP - 32 MP
                            Audio jack: No - Yes
                            NFC: No - Yes
                            Battery: 5000 mAh - 6000 mAh
                            Screen type, resolution, connectivity, ergonomics are similar.

                            Honestly, it looks like a joke of a release if can't convince me to switch over my 5 year old midranger of a lower category. Great job, Samsung!

                              M for MONSTER, what is monster in this phone?

                              33% bigger (Monster) vapour chamber, because their processor heats a lot.

                              Really pathetic Samsung.

                                25000 for this patheti c phone??

                                  Tranquillow, 17 Apr 2025This means, the 7Ah battery will be back with the M57? Yes pleaseMaybe, but things shouldn't be lost and then come back so customers are happy again, things should be improved, 7000mAh in a year isn't gonna be good enough.

                                      Does anyone really care that it's thinner? Batter wise it's essentially the same phone but just.. thinner? Why do people care so much about sacrificing potential battery capacity and charging speed just for an already thin phone to be thinner?

                                        Now what will they do with M36. Expecting a downgrade to 5000 mAh from 6000mAh. This could kill the M series completely.
