This phone might be one of the best investments that i got. I have this phone for 2 weeks now and it feels so nice changing from Xiaomi to Samsung. It got so many stuff that i want. The pluses are the Super AMOLED display, 120hz, HDR10+, Gorilla Glass Victus+ and the bright display. The minuses are the chipset, which is not better then Snapdragon and Mediatek, they can atleast put a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 or a Mediatek Dim 8300/9000. The greatest thing Samsung has did is the Aluminum frame, feels premium and it's actually really nice. The water resistants is also really good, IP67 is more than enough for me since i don't do any water activitys, only when i shower or touch my phone with wet hands. I hope Samsung makes the A56 with a Snapdragon or a Mediatek since the Exynos chips not good enough to run hard games like COD or Genshin Impact. I strongly recommend this phone if you don't want a overkill phone like the S23 or the S24 Ultra models.

I like big screen, not compact, how i know all my people have big screen phones too. You want compact screen, maybe another guy or girl want small screen phone, but most people wants BIG SCREEN. Pal, do not write your personal opinion like all people the same thinking. It's a lie.

Anonymous, 16 Aug 2024Same here. I won't buy their big heavy budget phones. ... moreEveryone who wants a compact affordable phone needs to unite and publicize it. A Change.org petition can help achieve that. And if many people sign it, it will show Samsung the significant demand and potential profitability.
I wrote up a text, but I’m not good with tech or managing petitions online. If someone savvy wants to step up and do the petition, they can then post the link here and people can share it around and hopefully it will go viral and garner many signatures. I give my full permission to whoever wants to use the text below for it:
-----
In recent years, phones have grown increasingly large, heavy, and cumbersome. While this trend benefits users who prefer larger displays and batteries, it excludes those who prioritize lighter, more compact devices that fit comfortably in their pockets and reduce hand strain. While the former group has access to numerous options across various price ranges, the latter faces a severe lack of choices, as the few available compact phones are expensive, making them out of reach to those with limited means. For example, Samsung’s expensive S-series features a compact phone that’s very popular each year (most recently the S24), but Samsung does not provide affordable options for lower-income customers or those in disadvantaged and underprivileged communities who need a smaller device. While they produce numerous budget phones each year, all of them are big and heavy.
Therefore, we urge Samsung to address this gap by restarting the production of a mid-range and/or budget device that matches the size and weight of the smaller S-series phone. Given their capacity to produce numerous devices annually, this shouldn’t be hard. The potential profit could be substantial, as the demand for this is greater than for some of their existing budget options. And relying on secondhand electronics should never be one’s only recourse. We also call on other manufacturers to take similar steps.

Something strange I noticed in all new phones, the 3.5mm jack has gone completely missing across the spectrum. What are people doing for music and handsfree if they dont use the stereo speakers?

If Samsung had something compact in that price range I would have gotten it. But left with no choice, I had to go elsewhere. If Samsung comes to their senses and decides to make something in the future, then I'll buy it next time I need a new phone.

small hands, 16 Aug 2024Big phone, no buy.Same here. I won't buy their big heavy budget phones. Now if they'd make one that's similar to the S24 in its dimensions and weight, I'd buy that in a second. People shouldn't be forced to hurt their hand using these big bricks just because they can't afford the astronomical price of the S24.

If you still can’t find it, make sure you’re updated because it’s a new feature that just dropped in OneUI 6.1.1

Manufacturers set battery times only under certain conditions, which do not always work out in reality. Let's say i have a Watch 6, which with Always on Display Samsung has set a time of 30 hours, I draining battery to about 50-60%. in about 20 hours. This is already exceeding the time set by Samsung. A battery is a thing which for one with less capacity can work more time neither for other which have battery bigger. It's depend user. If you will play games all time battery will drain after few hours. I think the S23 FE is better. S23 FE gives you flagship features, but is not full package. The Samsung A55 is close to that, but the processor is worse, the feature set is less, the camera is worse, etc. I think the value of the S23 FE is better if we evaluate a mid-range phone, e.g. A35 then yes A55 is better. By the way A55 still have memory card i think for some people that's important too. I think it's big A mid range phones advantage.
