    Both good phones, but the Snapdragon 6 gen 3 is only a 10k score upgrade on antutu 10 (603K vs 613K) when the a56 upgraded from 726K to 908K. I’m buying the a56 when the Price goes to 349€ like the a55

      Deer god (no typo), what did they do to the A36 main camera? Those samples are abysmal, which is really weird because the selfie camera looks significantly better...hope this is a pre-release software thing, because my grandma's A14 5G makes better photos than that.
      A56 looks pretty good though, but the price on that one is way too high.

            It has the same charging speed as the S25 Ultra.

              But from what I've heard, when I went to a Samsung store in Indonesia, according to the store employee or something like that, the SD Slot should be still there, as hybrid slot

                        256GB wouldn't be, SD card needed, if there was 512GB, then that was a different matter.

                            No micro SD card no deal. Samsung destroy midrange A series.

                              No microSD card slot no deal. Six years of software support but it can't support six years of storage needs.

                                    The performance of the exynos 1580 seems to be on the same level as the Snapdragon 888

Why'd you need telephoto? Just get closer. Why do you need ultrawide? Just get farther away from the subject. Why do you need fast charging? Just learn to optimize your time. Why make the display brighter? Just use it in your own shade. Take away the volume buttons too, since you can just sdjust audio from the phone itself.

                                      God I love paying more for less! I hope they take away everyones ability to use apk's, since most don't use it anyways! I'm soooo happy they take away useful features and inconvenience everyone! Next time a corpo asks for money, I shouldnt even expect a product! Just give them the money!"

                                        A series lost it's only unique feature (the SD card). Now it's not worth the compromise considering the features missing compared to s24fe. (i.e no raw photo support, no camera2api support ...) - probably the only phone in that price range which lacks those features.
