Great value
This phone is excellent for the price. I am a Samsung S25 Ultra user but I wanted a 2nd device for a local sim card abroad. Camera and display are really sharp and switching between the A56 and S25 Ultra us seamless.

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,.

Hello OW,
RE: SIM Free Samsung Galaxy A56 5G 256GB AI Mobile Phone - Olive
The Samsung Galaxy A56 does not support wireless charging natively. However, it can support fast wireless charging when used with a compatible Samsung-certified charger. This means that while it lacks built-in wireless charging capabilities, you can still charge it wirelessly with the right accessories.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q & A.
