My galaxy M21 is good even after more then 4 years of heavy usage
I had this phone for past year, 12GB of ram and 256gb storage. Very soild phone!
Bhai lakin samsung me 1 use kar rha tha 2017 se abhi bhe wo phone work me hai aur koi company ka phone 2 3 saal me he bekar
A series is always overpriced. A55 was 40k now it's price dropped. [...] It seems there's only 1 speaker. After nokia, I've used samsung most. [...]
Its surely a best phone .. for this price . I am using it from last 4 months
I am using this device from last 3 months. [...] I bought 8GB ram. [...] It was still good as i bought it an year ago.
Me 3 month pahle Samsung galaxy a35 liya tha lekin 1 he software update mila he 3 / 4 month ho gaya ge abhi tak kuch bhi aaya nahi he Samsung ka update to 4 / 5 years bola he lekin security patch ka bhi update nahi diya he abhi tak phone me YouTube video chalu kar ne baad kisi ka call aaya to uske baad YouTube he band ho jata he.
i think i bought the phone about 6months ago. yea its been my first "really good" phone ive owned. i don't like the back glass but yea other than that there are no complains.
im using Samsung a70 last 6 years and its running very well also 128gb is full but still performs very good. but battery is weak now. Samsung is a brand
[...] camera is nice been using it for 5 months. [...] I wish I could take class picture clearer.. shots are good but when you zoom it, nahhh faces looks like puppets. [...]
I've had mine for about 4 months now and I really have no complains except for the fact that it only has a maximum 256gb storage, given that the competition offers a higher storage capacity compared to this phone. But otherwise, it's a great all rounder phone for the price.
I got this phone 3 weeks ago because I dropped and shattered my 4yr+ old LG Velvet, and man, is it smooth and fast. The battery life on this is amazing as well, 11+ hours of streaming Youtube while working, and there's still 35% left. The One UI 8.5 is super feature rich compared to Android 10 or 11 I've been using on the LG Velvet, and the price at $360 on Amazon at the time works for me.
I am using Samsung A56 from January its prefect flagship phone 💯
I bought one yesterday n for the price Im very happy with it. Except that it is a fingerprint magnet😂
Got this phone in January still in good nick due to my armord phone case and still love it was gonna wait till a 57 came out but but my old samsung a15 died all of a sudden and got black screen so got the a 56 and love it
[...] After lots of searching it had the most OS updates for the price (at the time). [...] Can't complain with the photos/videos. [...]
Upgrade my phone this week from samsung A52 to A56. My A52 was still functioning but sometimes the lock screen doesn't respond. My A52 was beaten up because I use it geotag & documenting site photos for the past 5yrs and it always fall in my hand & pocket on construction site, still one of the best value phone I have. [...]
Im glad to have one, i used until december my galaxy note 9 for almost 7 years the battery is degrade but this a56 it last up to 3 days im not a heavy user just normal social media and streaming thes rest is making report on work.
I am using this smartphone A56 5G its really great smartphone I am highly satisfied from camera performance, display, and speakers.
Just got it today brand new for around $200 256gb as a backup phone for my Z Fold 6 😊
I just upgrade to this last week from A8. I enjoyed it, good battery life and good camera. I hope it last 6 years like my last phone does.
My opinion about exyons was not but after using this seems exyons is now getting better. Batree backup is great in this phone and over night batree consumption is 2 or 3 percent which is sign of good chipset 👍
I bought my galaxy a56 this year in 2026. [...]
I have one problem with my Samsung Galaxy A56. [...] Updating the software did not solve the problem. [...]
Mine just blow up like literally went really hot and blow up what I understood that motherboard got malfunction. Contacted Samsung and that's what they said. I mean Samsung is piece of shit I will stick to Xiaomi or Honor or other Non American brands
I'm still using the A53 -- It still works great and has the latest updates. I'm considering buying the A56. Now that the specs of the A57 have been released, I think it's very similar to the previous gen.
i got the A56 the performance is good theres no issues and one ui is really good and stable i used teh redmi 13c before and fuck xiaomi so the A56 is an good phone in 2026
Its a great phone for its price, I had A51, A34, A54 and A55...I can say for perfomance this is the 1sy phone I am using with confidence very fast and consistency I will keep it for a while before switching for S26...If your budhet is tight consider this little monster
First comment anyway got the same phone and in my experience it's good
I bought A56 8 RAM 128 GB Battery jyada consume ho rahi hai .. Why ?
I am using this phone right now. Its battery optimization,smoothness and performance is next level against its competitor huge battery and higher performance. Competitor smartphone in android world could not compare to Samsung.Competitors are doing only for nameshake.
we got a new batch of photos coming! this one is from my phone, but soon there is gona be some exiting photographs! Samsung Galaxy A56 5G ISO 50 66 mm F 1.8 1/200 s photography art architecture urbanism
Alhamdulillah i am using this phone very good over all performance 💖
I have been using this phone for a month. [...] Cameras are also amazing.
Watching from a56 8/256 gb, buy in Europe just in 26 k,,,, so for me the price justify
I'm using this device from March 18 and it's a very good smartphone
Found heating issue. I had video call for half an hour. My phone get start to heat.
I bought it as a backup phone for $200. [...] I just wish it was lighter and had a zoom camera instead of macro which I don't care about. [...]
[...] One thing that i dont like is the wifi reception is not good.. i live in a house with 2nd floor while my wifi router is in the first floor a56 cant detect it when i am in 2nd floor unlike my s24+ even if im inside the room it can detect wifi.
I'm still using my A52s. 😅 The only problem is no software support. But still good.
I am using the Galaxy A55. It’s a great phone for everyday use, especially with One UI 8 — it looks solid. But the gaming performance is poor, and I think Samsung should switch to silicon-carbon battery technology
Here's my new phone! A Samsung Galaxy A56! I'm quite happy with it so far But the new Discord app version notifications are heating up my phone because I'm in 99 servers and are getting messages for every single message sent I every single server!
Battery performance awsome...camera op... Look osthir......i use it for 1 month.except gaming performance in high fps..its ok in low fps game
1:35 camera module tak tak to Samsung fold7 me bhi karta hai Jab main apne Boss ka fold 7 dekha main bahot khush ho gaya ...😂 I have A56 Dont go for S series apko blue ya gren line mil sakti hai automatically
The only complaint I hear about this is it not having a telephoto lens. I don't care about that right now.
Boots: Grinders Trousers: some shit i bought in London years ago Jacket: Infinity Leather Head: bald Beer: Stella Artois Phone: Samsung Galaxy A56 Pub: a shithole Gloves: cheap Shirt: if you have to ask, you suck Sunglasses: £5 Toilet selfies: priceless.
I currently have the S22 Ultra, will most likely upgrade to an A58 series device next year when security updates stop for my phone. Hopefully Dex support gets added to A series devices in the next few years. Dex is a great feature that is overlooked often.
I bought A56 8gb + 256gb @37000 including charger, but the charger was of 25 watt however A56 supports 45 watt. Will that be okay if I use 25 watt charger....? Kindly respond.
