Samsung A56 5g
Really disappointed that the new Samsung A56 5g does not have an SD card slot. Unfortunately I found this out too late and now I'm stuck with it. I have all my pics stuck on an SD card on my old phone and the internal memory is not big enough on this phone. Just for the record - I do not want to use cloud base services

Quality phone, camera could be better though
A very capable phone that offers excellent value for money. The camera could be a little better, but overall it’s a high-quality device.
