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

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.

Hello there,

Hi Nige,
SIM Free Samsung Galaxy A56 5G 256GB AI Phone - Graphite.
The A56 5G doesn't have built-in wireless charger support.
Thank you for using Q & A.
You can indeed. This is a SIM free phone, therefore, it is unlocked to any network. We hope this helps.
You sure can, Gerry! This handy guide runs you through how to cast from your A56 5G phone to a TV: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/tv-audio-v...
Please note that some steps on the TV's side may differ if you are using a non-Samsung TV. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your question, Fata. The Galaxy A56 is a Dual‑SIM device, which means you can use two nano‑SIM cards and also register an eSIM. Only two SIMs can be active at any one time, but you can easily switch between your SIM profiles in the SIM Manager settings whenever you need to. We hope this information is helpful.
