Changed from another brand and not disappointed!
Phone was easy enough to set up, connected to wifi no problem, apps work well, feels nice and solid, looks good, price seemed favourable, and camera seems acceptable, not that I've used it much as I have a mirrorless camera for the serious stuff. Not too much bloatware and unnecessary apps installed, and easy to remove anything I don't want. I've probably not discovered everything about the phone yet but so far, no complaints. Not had any real phone conversations on it, but played a You Tube video and the speakers sounded really good, and the screen is sharp and clear. Battery is ok, but runs down quicker than I expected and I don't play games as such, only Freecell! Once I get settings sorted better am sure it will be ok though. Overall am pleased I bought it, no real downsides as far as I can tell. I'm glad I bought this and not the more expensive one as this does all I will need it to.

The wobbly A56
I am not impressed with it because of the oversized Camera lenses on it ,it wobbles when being unused on flat surfaces,being a Samsung user for over 30 years ,I would say this A56 is poor especially when you compare it to let's say the S9,.
