I’ve been using the Samsung A56 for the past two months. It performs well during multitasking — even with multiple apps open, it runs smoothly. But the frustrating part is that it sometimes hangs randomly for no reason at all. The AI features also feel a bit basic and need improvement. What’s disappointing is that the Samsung S24 FE is available at a similar price point but comes with a much more powerful processor and significantly better AI features. Considering that, the A56 feels slightly overpriced for what it offers. If Samsung wants this model to stay competitive, a price drop would definitely make more sense.

I’ve been using the Samsung A56 for the past two weeks, and I must say – it’s an absolute delight! From the moment I unboxed it, everything about this phone felt premium and thoughtfully designed. The display is vibrant and crystal clear, offering an immersive viewing experience whether I’m streaming videos or just browsing. The performance is smooth and efficient, handling multitasking and apps effortlessly without any lag. I’m genuinely impressed by the phone's durability and battery life – it lasts longer than I expected and stands up well to daily use. Every feature works flawlessly, and the overall experience has been nothing short of amazing. Samsung has really nailed it with the A56 in terms of design, user experience, and performance. I truly hope it continues to perform this way in the long run. As of now, I’m completely satisfied and happy with my purchase. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

An aunt of my mine bought this device on my recommendation and she has no regrets! I played around with the phone myself and it is awesome...fast response, no lagging, smooth scrolling, amazing camera quality and awesome storage space...256GB!!! The finish feels smooth and firm, the phone itself is not that heavy and fits perfectly in my hand. It's a feature filled, fun packed phone with amazing quality and amazing features...it comes standard with circle to search and One UI 7...bar some of the AI features from the S25 range...overall a very good quality mid-range phone for those wanting to have a premium phone without the premium price tag.

I bought this as a work device. As a contractor all my jobs are issued through an app. The app GPS tracks all day. I have to take 100s of photos and log all work through the app. This phone is perfect for this. Battery life is fantastic. And charge speed for a quick top it is definitely fast enough. The other things I have noticed is that when working rural where cel signal is low this phone keeps reception better than my personal done which costs a lot more from a different brand. All up. It's solid. Waterproof. Good signal. Great battery. Camera is the weaker point, but in saying that it's perfectly fine 95 percent of the time.

The A56 is like that guy in your crew who’s not the loudest, not the most stylish—but he’s the most reliable. He’ll hold it down, deliver when you need it, and never make excuses. It’s a solid phone for someone who wants to do the basics with a touch of flair: social media, music, binge-watching, even light editing and content creation. Just don’t expect it to be a beast at gaming or heavy multitasking. If you’re not trying to flex but want something that looks good, feels high-end, and does almost everything well—this is your phone. But if you’re the type who wants max speed, pro-level cameras, and no compromises—you’ll feel the limits eventually.

The worst phone I have had in ages. I am thinking of getting my old phone back. This Samsung A56 5G has so many issues, I don't know where to begin. Problems with the charging port from day one. Problems with the home key from day one. The screen protector doesn't fit properly, even though it was ordered specifically from ID Mobile as part of the contract and because of this, it has created pressure points, which further mess up the phone when those points are pressed. The battery takes forever to charge (even though it shows fast charging on the display). I bought a new charger plug and cable and it is still the same.

Bought the A56 5g to upgrade from an A53 5g and am generally happy with the phone so far. Not many differences which is fine by me. However am very annoyed by the Messages app change! There is no way of assigning a separate notification to the Messages app which is very annoying! I can either have a small ping, which is good for other notifications like emails, or a loud one which I like for Messages but can't stand that going off every time I get an email!! I now keep missing messages because I can't hear it when the phone is in my handbag. Surely this is a total oversight on Samsung's part as it is a big step back and needs rectifying!!!!! Am very disappointed 😞

It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying your new Galaxy A56 5G overall, with its smooth performance, reliable battery life and clean One UI experience making it a solid upgrade from your previous Galaxy A53. We also appreciate that the Messages app notifications have not fully met your expectations, and we understand how important it is to have a clearly audible alert for texts, especially when your phone is in your handbag. On your UK Galaxy A56 5G, you can set a separate notification sound for messages by adjusting the app’s notification categories. Please try the following: Settings > Notifications > App notifications > Messages > Notification categories > Incoming messages > Choose a sound that is louder and more noticeable. This allows you to keep a louder tone for messages while using quieter notification sounds for other apps, such as email. We hope you continue to enjoy your Galaxy A56 5G and all the brilliant features it has to offer. You can also find out more about the device on the official product page here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-a/galaxy-a56-5g-awesome-lightgrey-256gb-sm-a566bzaceub/ ^CL at Samsung Support

I bought this a few months ago and absolutely hate it. The typing is terrible. The predictive text is trash. Connectivity is next to nothing. I will have 4 bars, open an app and it will tell me i need internet to use this app. It won't allow me to open the samsung website, only the Shop app, which needed to update before it would work. It found the internet to do that, but not the other apps I needed to use. Doesn't connect to my car bluetooth all the time and has issues with Android Auto. Has caused issues that I never had before with my headphones too. The only positive about this phone is the battery. It lasts a long time, even with heavy use and charges quickly.

Very good battery life, as you should expect from a new phone, and the camera is very good too. The rapid charger, which came with the additional offer pack, charges the phone in an extremely fast time and is a bonus. I would, however, have liked the bonus pack to have included a Samsung screen protector too. I found the phone easy enough to set up for the basics but I have had to rely heavily on Google and U-Tube to allow me to get to grips with many of the phone's other features. One small point, as there are other methods available, is that the waved palm hardly ever works to take a screenshot. So early days still but so far I am very pleased with this phone.

I was very reluctant to get a new phone, but when my banking app told me that my phone needed updating due to operating system (Android 9) I done my research and opted for a brand new Samsung A56 5g. It took my a while to get used to it. The multiple cameras are excellent, battery life is also great, high quality display and super fast performance compared to my older J4+, great connectivity seamless between 5 and 4g. The only disadvantage is it not having a micro sd port for additional memory. Another great product by Samsung. And as a bonus of making my purchase, I had a free Samsung Galaxy watch 7. I love Samsung

Having owned an A52, A54 and A55 I am really pleased with the A56. It seems much faster and my battery seems to last longer even though I have read that there is not much difference between the A55 and the A56 I would have to disagree, the battery life is much better and the bigger screen is much better. I I had any complaints about the A series is answering it when a phone call comes through, it is not easy to swipe to answer and on numerous occasions the person who has phoned me has hung up. I really wish Samsung would make it easier. Otherwise I am really pleased with it. Pictures are really good as well

🔥 Samsung Galaxy A56 5G – Mid‑Range Marvel! 🔥 Just tried the Galaxy A56 & impressive for its price tag! The 6.7″ Super AMOLED 120 Hz display is super bright and buttery smooth. Software on Android 15 with One UI 7 brings new AI tools like object eraser and Best Face. Samsung even promises 6 years of OS + security updates—top‑notch support. 45 W fast charging gets you moving quickly too. The 50 MP OIS main lens, 12 MP ultra‑wide, and 5 MP macro combo delivers solid shots in daylight (video and selfies are particularly smooth), though low‑light and telephoto are average. The phone is sleek and premium with IP67 water resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus+, and a slim aluminum frame. 📱

Here's a sample review: "I've been using the Samsung A56 for a while now, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed! The display is crisp and vibrant, making it perfect for watching videos or browsing photos. The battery life is incredible, easily lasting me a full day with heavy usage. The charging speed is also super fast! The camera quality is top-notch, with features like optical zoom and portrait mode making it feel like a high-end flagship device. Performance-wise, the A56 handles everything I throw at it with ease, from gaming to multitasking. Overall, I'd highly recommend the Samsung A56 to anyone looking for a reliable, feature-packed smartphone without breaking the bank! Rating: 5/5 stars"

Galaxy A56 I have this phone on contract. If I am honest, its a great phone. The aluminum frame, glass back is sleek, I am a fan of the UI system that came out. The phone is a great phone for gaming too. My only complaint is the absolute battery drain when I use apps that uses the microphone. It also has features like battery protection which is amazing. Adaptive powersaving is also great. Gallery features and camera features have room for improvement but other than that? Its a great phone. And the price for this phone is great. I would take this phone over any other phone any day

The sleek design and vibrant Super AMOLED display make watching videos and scrolling through apps a pleasure. I’ve noticed the 5G connectivity makes a big difference when it comes to downloading and streaming—it’s fast and smooth. Everyday tasks like messaging, browsing, and using social media run without any hiccups, and the battery easily lasts me a full day.

Currently less than impressed with my new phone. Only a month old and it has switched off several times, generally when trying to use apps. Then it decided to freeze for over half an hour meaning I needed to use someone else's phone to see how I could correct it as it wouldn't let me do anything other than use the side buttons, causing me to miss calls and messages that were urgent!! Trying to contact the company I bought it through as its not good enough considering the cost of the phone. The times it does work I'm enjoying it but the problems outweigh the good times.

Overall I am happy with my new A56 mobile, but it doesn't feel any better than my old Galaxy A52s 5g mobile. Good Points - 1. The screen is a good size and is very clear. 2. There is loads of onboard storage. 3. It's pretty fast. 4. Battery life is excellent. Bad Points - 1. The camera spec has dropped from 64mp to 50mp which is a bit disappointing. 2. It doesn't seem to connect to WiFi as good as my old mobile especially at home. There is an app called Merlin which I use to identify bird from their songs but it doesn't work on this mobile which is a disappointment.

I’ve been using my Samsung A56 5G for two weeks now and I’m honestly really impressed. It runs super smoothly, and I haven’t had any problems with freezing or lag. The camera takes really clear photos, even in low lighting, and the selfies come out great too. The battery lasts me the whole day easily, even when I’m using it a lot, and it charges up quickly when I need it to. I also love how nice the screen looks — bright, colourful, and really good for watching videos or scrolling on social media. Overall, it’s been a great phone so far and I’m really happy I got it!

Bought the A56 phone as soon as it was available. Got an excellent deal off my ISP. It replaced my Samsung Galaxy A73 phone. The size of 6.7" is perfect for my eyes. Screen resolution is 1080 X 2040 pixels is excellent and assisted by the super Amoled 120Hz display. The phone came with Android 15 and One UI 7 out of the box. I find the camera features are very good for a non-premium phone. Have had no problem with taking photos. Battery size of mAh means at the end of the day I still have about 70% battery. Highly recommend if you want an A series Galaxy phone.

I’ve been using the Samsung A56 for two weeks now and honestly can’t fault it for the price. It’s fast enough for everything I need day-to-day. Apps open quickly, browsing is smooth, and it handles normal use without any issues. The battery life is really solid, easily getting me through a full day, and the 5G connection is quick when I’m out and about. One feature I really like is the dual SIM, which is great for travelling or keeping work and personal numbers on the same phone. The only thing I wish it had is wireless charging, but it’s not a deal-breaker and easy enough to work around. Overall, it just does exactly what I need it to do without any fuss. For the price point, it’s a really good phone and great value.

I recently got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy A56 and I have to say — it's a solid all-rounder that punches above its price tag! Right out of the box, the A56 feels premium. The slim design, smooth finish, and lightweight build make it comfortable to hold. The 6.5” Super AMOLED display is stunning — colours are vibrant, blacks are deep, and it's super smooth with the 120Hz refresh rate. Whether you're watching YouTube or scrolling through Instagram, it's buttery! The triple camera setup delivers great results in daylight. The 50MP main camera captures sharp details, and the ultra-wide is fun for landscapes. The selfie cam? Surprisingly good, especially with the beauty filter turned off. Trust me you won't regret getting this phone.

I am very disappointed with my new phone! I have had more than a dozen Samsung phones and always found them easy to use and very good at performing the tasks required. I use my phone whilst out walking in the countryside listening to birdsong (using the Merlin bird app) my previous phone (A545g) was excellent for this task, however my new phone doesn't recognize anything. I have removed and reinstalled the app numerous times, I can only assume that the microphone is substandard compared to my previous phone, I now have to take my old phone with me because my new phone is not good enough. I think this could be my last Samsung phone, I don't know anyone else who has this problem every other phone on the market works perfectly with this app.

Don't love the phone. Don't like the camera sticking out at the back, I didnt the phone before I got, asked advice for a replacment A53 as the speaker function had stopped working and was out of contract, having no SD feature. Connects ok. I used Shazam on my old A53 it doesn't work on this, uninstalled it, which disappointed in. The battery is reasonable however it heats up randomly quite a lot, sometimes only after 15 mins, same with my previous phone, however same issue with this so I'm taking it back to the EE shop when I get the chance.

I bought the Samsung A56 about two months ago and I am pleasantly surprised at how great it is. It has all the features I require on a daily basis, from 5G to fast speeds as I run through all social media platforms. The best part is, I don't lose out at all, particularly when taking photographs. The 50 megapixel camera does wonders and not to mention the quality it provides. It is value for money because I know, I have a solid phone right here. With the AI features, it feels futuristic and I learn something new with this device all the time.

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A56 for 2 days now and I must say I’m really impressed so far. The design feels sleek and comfortable in the hand, and the display is bright and clear perfect for browsing, streaming, and social media. The battery life has been solid, easily lasting me through the day without stress. Performance is smooth, apps open quickly, and multitasking hasn’t been an issue. The camera quality also stands out for me sharp photos with good color, especially in good lighting. It’s been fun testing it out. Overall, for the short time I’ve had it, the Galaxy A56 has delivered a premium experience and feels worth it on MTN. I’m looking forward to seeing how it holds up long term, but right now I’m really happy with my choice.

I bought the product 3 months ago and it has been absolutely amazing. The battery life is amazing, it can easily last for a day on a full charge. The body is extremely sleek and looks very exquisite. The glass back gives it that expensive feel and makes the A56 feel like one of samsung's flagship models. The storage is enough to preserve one's most precious memories and the camera captures good pictures. At first I was a bit skeptical about the UI of One UI 7 coming from a Samsung device with One UI 6 but I've grown to love the new look.

I bought this phone about a month ago and honestly the first month it did everything I ever wanted in a phone and things that I never thought I'd need such as an on-always screen display and galaxy ai. Performance wise, it's amazing, fast charging, but now I notice noticeable changes in the performance of the phone. Probably because I use it everyday but the changes are not that much. Great phone to use for your everyday use and also enable you to play those triple A/ open world games that require a good cpu. All in all... I'm happy

Sadly my A56 is slower than I thought it should be despite paying for the fastest and unlimited speeds and data there is available. Additional problems with certain apps which gave caused issues with printers and obe from a major battery company solar panel monitoring system is amazingly incompatible with this phone! Good sound and I do like the speakers when I kink it to Spotify. I have taken some excellent videos when i have been beekeeping. Overall a good phone with several years of guaranteed updates. That's why I chose it.

The device is a total baddie. The design language it brings to the segment is quite good. A56 is phone which got a lot of things packed in it with not so heavy pricing. The AI features the device got are incomparable in its segment. The performance of the phone is upto the notch. Camera quality it shares is very much efficient comparatively to the segment and higher range phones also. The display it uses is quite good, with a lot more clearity from previous devices. This upgrade was very much needed for this A series and should be considered as a well good update. Overall this device shares a good market segment and also captures alot of customers also. I would genuinely recommend this device to my friends and family. I also bought that for my father as well.

I bought the phone 5 weeks ago. I downloaded the users manual to my jvc pad and read all the information first. Changing phones is stressful for me but, The actual setup was easy but trying to transfer stuff from my Motorola took 2 days. Smart switch was good but wasn't able to transfer alot of my apps. Most likely this issue was my doing. Once up and running, I proceeded to see what it had and what I liked. The swipe screenshot is good when I can get it to work. However, to the rescue is the best feature of all..Bixby.. Easy to set up, works like a dream, ask him anything. Take a screenshot please,, Done... remind me to take bin out at 2 o'clock,, right on time alarm.. Another easy thing is using the samsung as a hotspot for internet on other things,

Samsung has upgraded the battery performance on this phone. It lasts much longer without a charge. The phone feels smoother, it's almost like using the Galaxy S series but on a budget, which is better for my pocket. I don't really play games as much, but when I do, I'm really blown away by how smooth the phone operates. The display is phenomenal. It's like I have a mini tv on hand and I can watch bideos or play games wherever I am. I also really love that there's an extra dim setting, that lowers the brightness even more. Moreover, the camera is the best I've seen by far in phones of this price range. I've dropped this phone like a gazillion times, and it's still looking brand new. I don't know what or how they are making these new phones, but they are fantastic.

I bought this phone about a year ago and it still works like the day I bought it. The camera quality is actually similar to alot of the S series phones which is a plus because this phone is cheaper so you get alot of the benefits as well if you cant afford a phone in the S range. The sound quality is alot better than my previous phone which was a s21+. The battery quality is actually really good I still only charge it once a day and I use my phone throughout the day. The phone itself isnt fragile. I've dropped it a few times and there's not even a scratch on it. The performance overall is actually really good quality for the price. The features are also very similar to my previous phone. Like the lock screen, biometrics, how I set my wallpaper all that is worth it.

The Galaxy A56 5G has impressed me with its sleek design and vibrant display. The screen is bright and sharp, making streaming and browsing a pleasure. Performance feels smooth, even when multitasking, and the 5G connectivity delivers fast, reliable speeds that keep me connected on the go. Battery life is solid, lasting comfortably through a full day of use, and the camera captures crisp, detailed shots in good lighting. Low-light photos could be improved, but overall the camera is versatile and fun to use. I appreciate the balance between affordability and premium features — it feels like a phone that gives me great value without compromise. If Samsung continues refining the camera and battery efficiency, this device could easily become a leader in its class.

I am disappointed with the A56, I am used to S series phones but due to cost issues I've tried this. I find it has slow processing speed in comparison with the S series and opening links seems to take significantly longer. I am still waiting for the promised free phone case and watch which is part of the purchase deal. This phone is extremely slippery to hold and as the camera lenses protrude from the back it is difficult to put down on a flat surface without it slowly slipping off. Sorry Samsung, I'm not impressed

I've had the phone for just over a month as an upgrade to the A33. Overall features are the same on one UI7. However the performance is excellent. Gaming is so much better in the A56. Nightography is awesome. The screen is awesome amd really like the AOD feature. Only drawback I have is that certain small features aren't available on the A56 that couldve been there, for example glitter effect in edge lighting.. I'm excited for the One UI8 release in South Africa though. Hoping they add some features I'd like to see

I have always had Samsung phones (20 years). I recently upgraded to my current one. Almost immediately l began having problems making and receiving calls. When i select a contact and press the call button a calling icon appears but no ring tone is heard. This goes on for several seconds before the call cuts off. Accepting in coming calls, i press answer but the ringtone continues before finally connecting or cutting out. My provider, O2 have been very helpful and replaced the phone like for like. Unfortunately this replacement is doing the same. I am returning to the store today for further assistance. I have lived at my current address nearly 50 years have had the same service provider from day one and have owned about 5 Samsung phones over this period. (18 years).

Battery life is excellent: easily lasts a full day (16-18 hours), even when using the camera, playing games and watching Netflix, etc. Display is outstanding and very responsive. The camera is slightly below par of other phones I was considering but isn't anything to turn your nose up at and certainly beats the older A series cameras. The AI feature to 'remaster' pictures is brilliant as well as 'erasing' unwanted objects from images. Overall a great upgrade over my previous device and well worth the price.

I am generally quite pleased with my Galaxy A56 5G(SM-A566BZKCEUB), it is easy to use and response is fast. The photo and video quality is good. I have been very disappointed with the fingerprint reader, the problem is that I can setup my fingerprint and within about 2 days the phone no longer recognises my fingerprint. I have followed all instructions that I can find to rectify the issue - update phone, remove and re-create fingerprint (3 times) etc. I have now abandoned using the fingerprint reader altogether

I've had this phone for 6 months now and it's my most priceless valuable after my bed. I am an intern doctor and I use my phone more than I sleep - to check patient information, blood test results and answer urgent calls (and occasionally maintain a social life). The battery life is amazing, the visual quality better than I've ever had and all included functions have made my life easier. Its easy to say I'd be lost without it and quality for price is unbelievable. This product is one I'd endlessly recommend.

I’m really impressed from my new Samsung Galaxy A56 5G. The screen is bright and looks amazing for watching videos or just scrolling through social media, feels nice to hold, and doesn’t feel cheap at all. Battery life is solid, I am charging it once in two-tree days. The cameras are surprisingly good too, photos come out clear and sharp, and even in low light, they look decent. Great phone for the price. If you’re looking for something reliable with good performance and 5G, definitely worth checking out!

I've had this phone for almost a year. It's a great phone. The features are great as well, I'm still learning some of the features because there's new things all the time. The one thing I like alot is the multi screen/split screen. I don't have any issues with over heating. The battery lasts the whole day. The camera quality is a 7/10. Display is good. Durability is also very good. I have my kids consistently dropping my phone. It's a strong phone. Overall I'm very happy with the Galaxy A56.

I brought this device 6 days ago and man did i explore the phone. My main focus is always on the phone speed and camera quality. After I installed my online game Call of Duty I was so impressed though. It's like you playing with a surround system. Sound coming from both speakers. Smooth glide with my controls and also the graphics of the phone. I have my Sound on full blast when ever I play now. The camera quality, oooh gosh. I am not using filtering apps at all from now on. The quality of the camera front and back is next level advance. For those that know how to use device cameras and it's function would most probably agree on this. Also the phone design, it's giving 'Classy'. I am still exploring all the features but so far I'm happy with my change of brand. #rockingtheSamsungAseries

Got this phone to replace an 8 year old S9. Has taken me a while to get used to all the new features, being a more mature user (old over retirement age). I still am discovering things that have changed.The connectivity, battery life and display are far better. I do not game or do social media, the performance is good for me. I didnt want something to complicated, this phone is perfect. Don't know how to use all the features so cannot give 5 stars, the features I use are good.

I have bought and owned this Samsung Galaxy A56 with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM for about two weeks now. I must admit, it's my first time owning a Samsung Smartphone It feels so premium when you hold it in person. The glass and metal frame are just amazing. The phone is quick, it's smooth with great animations and icons, the camera is great, with good pictures and top video recording. The battery is also another highlight, I can go over 15 hours without charging, once I even went over 20 hours 😅. Come time to charge and it's really not that bad, 45 Watts is good. The chip is quick for what I use my phone for. I'm not a heavy phone user, just casual social media and a few games now and then. I am enjoying my new Samsung galaxy A56 5G and I'm happy to know it'll get updates for the next 6 years.

I bought this phone just over a week ago. I loved my A35 but the A56 is a huge improvement. The performance is amazing and I love how the refresh rate really enhances the experience of the phone. I had about 40GB free with the 120GB I had with the previous A53 phone but the 256GB with this phone makes me think it will take me a very long time to fill this which is very comforting. And I never have to worry about Spotify freezing ever again! That's an extremely huge win.

I’ve been using the Samsung A56 for just over a week, and so far my experience has been quite good. The first thing I noticed is the smooth touch interface — it feels really responsive, almost effortless. At times it can be a little too sensitive, so I’m still getting used to that balance. I haven’t explored all of its features yet, but one thing I enjoy is how intuitive the phone feels in daily use. However, I’ve run into an issue where my YouTube app occasionally stops functioning. I’m not sure if this is the phone or the app itself, but it’s something I’ll be keeping an eye on. The sound quality is clear, though it does take a bit of adjustment compared to what I was used to before(A34). Overall, I like where Samsung is going with this device, and I’m excited to explore more of its features in the weeks ahead.

I've had this phone for two months now and it's everything I excepted and then some. From the all day battery life to the performance (mind you I'm an avid gamer and yet it still keeps up) I've been throughly impressed, the AI features also come in very handy. The One UI is also so intuitive, I feel like everything I need at whatever point in time is just a swipe away. Great Job Samsung. PS: I'm unloved with the new Z-Series. God willing I'll be getting one top of year

I love everything about it. Battery life is super, I love the Macro mode in the camera and easy connectivity. My favourite activity on my phone is to personalisey phone so enjoy changing the display. Performance is excellent. I have no regret purchasing this phone especially given the guaranteed updates for the next 4 / 5 years. Looking forward to Android 16! Always love a bigger screen phone but simply could not afford the Ultra phone. Content for now though.

Overall it is a decent phone. The battery is meant to be better but I've found it drains quite fast compared to my A54. The WiFi knocks off quite alot and the screen sometimes doesn't register im touching it. Not sure if ive been unlucky as my a54 after two months about half an inch from top to bottom on the left hand side became completely unresponsive. The camera is good. It made the price worth it getting free watch, case and charger on a promotion.

The battery life is poor doesn't last a full day on 100% charge, the camera is poor compared to my last A53 5G, the keyboard response is very laggy and becomes highly frustrating and connectivity is hit and miss. I've had samsungs for the last 25yrs and this feels like a refurbished phone rather than a new one! very disappointing. I was hoping it was just the newness but no, perhaps it's time fir me to make a change and try something different.

The Samsung A56 is a great improvement on my previous mobile phones. The speed of response, display, quality and editing of photos and the Google Gemini make it a fantastic device. The battery life on the new phone also seems to last much better, meaning I have to charge it less. I had chance to review the phone on the Samsung mobile display truck which visited Liverpool. Having seen the phone in action, I purchased the device the following day.

The processor is powerful enough to stay two steps ahead of everything that you would use the phone for, and the battery will keep the phone in your hand throughout the day.

I had this phone 3 years ago and I'm so happy that I did because it was the best. I am a gamer on CODM and it was so smooth in playing it. The graphics were amazing and I received no lag. The battery life was so good. It lasted about 7-9 hours of gameplay. It was really good in in everything I used with it. The camera was so amazing. It had the best quality. Thank you Samsung for making those 3 years with the Samsung A56 the best years ever.

I upgraded this phone a few weeks ago and have been blown away by the quality, features and performance. I has been using Huawei and Honor devices for the last 10 years and after a positive experience with some Samsung earbuds, I decided to opt for a Samsung. Camera quality is great and the object/shadow eraser is just magic. The display is vivid and the animations buttery smooth. I'm amazed at what Samsung has packed into this device for this price. 45w Fast Charging. Dolby Atmos. Excellent AI integration. Endless customization and tweaking especially with Samsung Good Lock installed. I also just want to commend Samsung for it's integration between different devices. I have this device, a Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Buds FE and using them together just works so well. All in all, I'm a happy customer and recent convert to the Samsung eco-system.

I have this device for just over a month now and it's absolutely incredible. It combines camera quality and storage in one with a large storage capacity and a whole lot of really cool features. AI effects, AI filters accessible from the main camera which is incredibly convenient. Also being able to run a thorough diagnostic check on the phone from the settings is really helpful. Highly recommended. Also it's really great for the value.

I bought the Galaxy A56 about 3 weeks ago, and honestly, for a midrange phone, it's way better than expected. Here's my quick breakdown: ✅ Pros: Display: Bright, smooth AMOLED – scrolling and watching anime feels crisp. Battery: Lasts me all day, even with gaming and streaming. Performance: Handles multitasking and apps like a champ – no lag so far. Camera: Clean shots in good lighting, and the night mode is decent too. Design: Sleek, lightweight, and feels premium in-hand. 🤔 Cons: No flagship features like wireless charging (but didn’t expect it at this price). Slightly average low-light photos. ⭐ Final Thoughts: For the price, the A56 punches way above its weight. It’s a solid daily driver and easily one of the best midrange phones I've used. If you're on a budget but still want something that feels smooth and reliable, this is it. 👌
