Muel, North east
Discovering my new phone.
just to how pleased I am with my new Samsung Galaxy, which I bought last week. It is an upgrade on my much older phone and the little prompts and suggestions that pop up have been helpful. The screen is a cool green and all my Apps are neatly arrayed.

A56 phone
Overall performance, size, ease of set up, only issue when you press-open the side button to open your phone little stiff, but I suppose it will ease as you use it . But overall happy

I am a pensioner, and this is a good phone for me
I ordered a Samsung, as I have always been happy with a Samsung, and this phone is no exception. I got a case for it to protect the back. I am a pensioner, not technical minded, and this is a good phone for me.

Very disappointing Messages app!
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 😞

Love it!
I love a Samsung, I've always had them. Find them easy to use, battery charge lasts a long time (i don't play games on it!) Love the feel of it and the way you can make the keyboard bigger! Takes really clear photos xx

Absolutely stay away
Do not buy. Please. Slow. Cuts off calls. I think its fake because the performance is so terrible. Wasted my money.
