Great upgrade to this Awesome 5G model.
I am thoroughly delighted having upgraded to this popular Galaxy A56 model. I chose the Olive colour and the various improvements are terrific. A great choice at a very reasonable price which I can thoroughly recommend.

Great midrange phone.
I purchased this phone a couple of weeks ago to replace a dying S10. I needed a quality phone but at a resonable price. The A56 had good overall reviews and had 10% off at Argos and Samsung offered £100 cash back. After useing it for the two weeks i am very impressed with its performance and battery . Great allround phone at a great price. Well done Argos and Samsung.

Samsung A56 5g
Pleased with the performance of my samsung A56 5g, faster than my previous A32 5g, would have preferred a finger print sensor on the side of the phone like previous models, and disapointed that there's no memory card slot. This model was reduced by £50 a week after purchase.
