    What modem does the a56 use? Is it the new modem used in the Google Pixel 9?

      Why does the more expensive model look like it has a thicker bezel? Or maybe just the same thickness. I feel it should be slightly thinner. It's only logical for bezels to shrink the more premium the model is, relatively speaking.

        gh6st, 9 hours agoThis site hilariously out of touch. Saying that company sho... moreJust the opposite. Enthusiasts pursue the highest value. The average consumer is out of touch because they accept any compromises and never make noise. They don't look at the whole picture or use their whole phone. They're the lowest common denominator.

        And yeah, they deserve to be aired out, regardless of how old of an issue this is. Why accept less, when you know you could have better? This is the same company that mocked Apple for not including a charger in the box and then one year later copied the practice and scrubbed the official ad from the internet. Damn Chaebols.

          Okay, cool, it seems they are killing the A5x line. No reason to pay more for the A56 when the A36 is almost identical. People who consider these kinds of phones are going to have cases anyway, so the build quality is not even important.

          If Samsung wanted to reduce their overall profit, I guess they are successful here. They're going to drive a lot of people to the cheaper A36.

                Dedicated sd slot is compulsory

                  Enough of your experiment with A Series models. Please give me a latest version of my A50s.
                  - with 2 sim slots and an EXCLUSIVE memory card slot.
                  Those who work with his phone to the fullest know it's importance and utility.

Saying that company should go out of business, when 99% of actual irl buyers don't care about sd cards is really funny. People here are shitting on the phone that they weren't planning to buy anyway

                            No SD card slot = no purchase. End of story. If you really must get rid of it then at least offer a 512GB version.

                              Lister, 11 hours agoWhat on earth are you people storing to need SD cards on mi... moreErr, my entire 120GB music library and my entire life's photos.

                                    What on earth are you people storing to need SD cards on mid range phones? I'd understand if this was 15 years ago lmao.

                                      that WLE score for the a56 is a pretty wild increase over the a55. genuinely 30% better perf over a single gen is crazy. should make for a really really solid mid price all arounder.

                                        I'd say go for S24FE if you have to buy it directly or S24 with a cell plan/contract... IMHO A series is dead.
