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

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

                  We need micro SD card slot 🫣🫣

                      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.

                                      For A56, it should really get rid of that macro camera and get a 3x telephoto. Especially for its price and it's a relatively high-end device in the A-series
