honestly Oppo Reno13 seems to be a bit better in terms of camera than this A56, which is surprising because the Oppo has a much smaller 1/2" sensor than this Samsung's 1/1.56" sensor. I guess Samsung didn't optimize the camera as good as Oppo did.

Still using that useless wider 19.5:9 aspect ratio, Samsung should switch to 19.8:9 as that is used by rest of phone makers now. Or even the older 20:9 that would make it even better to hold and use one handed.

Got A54, didn't like firm factor and exynos.
Is it really better exynos ? Each hear Exynos is good in the new it's very bad
Form factor not good too, heavey fragile and sharp borders. Might Look fancy but not confortable to hold.

Still significantly better cameras than iPhone 16e while maintaining a lower price. 6 years of software update and great build quality make this a no-brainer in comparison with the likes of Xiaomi.

Lately, I see few people discussing about weak signal reception on Exynos, perhaps is just a myth due to above constraint.

Just ordered myself one for $330. S24 FE would have cost me $575, which is 75% more for additional performance cores (all other cores being the same), a marginally better display, and a better camera what I would have used once a month. Not worth it.
Don't trash a device because it doesn't fit you or is unfairly priced in your country.
PS removal of SD card slot is a crime.

Same place, same carriers
Galaxy A71 5g Snapdragon X 52 modem 71 dbm
Motorola Stylus 5g 2023 Snapdragon X62 modem 75 dbm
Motorola Stylus 5g 2024 Snapdragon X62 modem 79 dbm
Does the Galaxy phone catch the signal better?

Hence you might get signal and/or speed drops when moving around or in some circumstances, where device is expected to change the wireless frequency band.
..
Again, it might be a speculation, but it's common with Chinese devices abroad

Might be there's some incompatibility between your Xiaomi Device and cellular RAN where you live.. happens, especially for older devices and recent sw updates on any side..

To the West, 25 Mar 2025How is the signal strength and call quality? S24FE Recently I just notice thats Xiaomi cheating on signal bar while A56 give me the truth.
Short story;
I have same SIM operator on my old RN10 Pro and A56.
Clearly I always see full bar on my Xiaomi, but the connection is not stable, frequently dropping.
When moving to A56 I see the connection is only two bars which is answering my question why my connection is not stable.
Better to measure the signal strength with dbm meter rather than believing the bars.
