For me, the charging stopped to 85% (84%) and recharge around 20%. With that case I need to charge it once a day (no 3D gaming).

I just got the 12/256 for 400 euros. Everything works as it should, Samsung quality. Probably you could get better specs with a chinese phone, but in everyday life this phone is a joy to use with OneUI. Best midranger at the moment, especially if you can get it with a promotion.

To be note that people missing to compare at least:
1. The price of storage and RAM chips. Samsung is one of the best.
2. The price of components in the motherboards. Durability is the key.
3. Battery lifetime. My Xiaomi's tend to drop around 2 yrs with light usages and the replacement is not the same with the first one, despite original.

Anonymous, 03 Apr 2025Which brand of MicroSD did you use? Hama? Not surprised.
G... moreI am saying from people's experiences, not mine.
I have also bad experience with Sandisk, got it from Sandisk store during exhibition so it's 100% authentic. It's really expensive at that time. So far Samsung microSD have better durability, still keep it one with my 128GB older phone.

They bumped up the price by a fair bit, but the feature set hasn't really changed that much. I think at this point we're just paying for the brand name and they are stalling on the innovation.

Get something reputable (SanDisk, Transcend, Toshiba).

To my opinion, microSD is suitable for temporary storage (i.e: mirrorless camera, CCTV) rather than phone expansion.
With the price of microSD, we can buy SSD + USB holder, just put it in the wifi router and we will get personal free cloud (wannabe).

sam89, 02 Apr 2025For the same price it's better to go for the One Plus ... moreI cannot get One Plus Nord 4 at US$350.
After few days of usages (no 3D gaming), I would say A56 is indeed all-rounder midrange. Nothing great about this phone, but nothing bad in particular.
Compared to some Xiaomi and Realme I own, which have some great parts but with some downsides; conversely A56 did what it should as midranger.
A56 may not be you're choice if you have specific needs, otherwise it's maybe a good friend for casual usages.

"no card slot" - It was obvious Samsung was eventually going to drop the MicroSD in its A-series. It was a ticking time bomb from the beginning. This means if you break your phone on vacation, you can't pull out the memory card - you have to pay Samsung $1000 for "authorized" data recovery. (Authorized by Samsung, not by you, because you don't own your phone even after you pay for it.)
Samsung took away one of the greatest benefits the A series had over the S series. And Samsung knows damn well their customers want MicroSD card support.
Yes, you should have a backup, but you can't do it every day because it is time-consuming. And cloud storage is expensive and harvests your personal data. And USB-OTG reserves the USB port and the camera app can't write directly to it anyway. And those adapters that allow USB-OTG and charging at the same time only allow slow charging.
Also, it is 7.4mm instead of 8.2mm. The thinner a phone is, the more has to be sacrificed. Thinner means less fits inside it.
The MicroSD slot was on borrowed time and now that time is up.

For the same price it's better to go for the One Plus Nord 4:
1- Better specs 16gb Ram Snapdragon processor 512 storage.
2- Looks much better with metal body.
3- If you game a lot A56 GPU is uncapable and slow compared to Nord 4 excellent Adreno 732.
4- One plus has some nice details like Dynamic Island notch, alert slider and Haptic feedback vibration.
5- Ultra-fast SUPERVOOC 100w charging (I think it's the world fastest charging phone 0-100 in 28m)
6- Much faster storage (UFS4.0)
Samsung wins only in UI and software updates. maybe more accessories and cases.
I usually lean toward Samsung devices but in the past 2 years their mid-range line is not good enough compared to the rivals. They push you to buy the flagship S2x series.

Can anybody comment on the reliability and speed of the Fingerprint sensor of the A56? Has Samsung got rid of the problems that some batches of last year's A55 fingerprint sensor had?
