Blown away
Upgraded from my a52s 5G. I loved that phone and was nervous to part with it, but the a56 has blown me away! The A5* series officially feels premium! Feel like I've upgraded to a flagship. Excellent phone for the price.

Excellent value for money.
With a £75 off promotion and a further 10% off, this was a real bargain for a mid-range mobile phone.

Very competitively priced, prompt delivery.
Decided to buy the Samsung A56 mobile phone. I shopped around but found Argos to be the best price. Prompt delivery, got it the same day. Brilliant phone, easy to set up myself, I certainly made the right choice.

Smooth, efficientuser interface for casual techies
The Samsung Galaxy A56 already marks a big step forward from my previous A53, improving much on its predecessor's issues. Its battery life seems far lengthier than the A53, which had been a big sticking point before, while navigating the interface, apps and phone / text messaging functions all feels far smoother than before. As with the A53, the device fits snugly into my trouser pocket and has impressive visual / audio outputs for videos, podcasts etc. All that holds it back are its occasional glitches when it comes to music from streaming apps (like Amazon Music) sometimes stopping indefinitely after you've received phone calls, prompting occassional app restarts, and its camera not offering the best detail when it comes to zooming into distant objects (vs. the clearer images often still afforded by iPhone cameras, even at a distance). Overall though, this new iteration of the A50s range continues to impress and work effectively as a slimline, efficient mobile device with great functionality and a smooth user interface.

Excellent Features
I bought my Samsung A56 5G as an update to my previous phone a Samsung A52 5G that had come to an end of security updates. I have found I can get 2 days of use from the battery which I think is good as I only charge it to 80%. The camera and features are better than my old model. The display is just a little bigger and moving around apps is easier. The performance is also quicker thanks to the faster chipset and more ram.
