Samsung somehow thinks it's okay to charge $499 while delivering no tangible upgrades.

It is a half baked review, IMO. The author says that despite having 45 W charging, the phone takes 75 mins to charge. Samsung really slows down it’s charging speeds post 80%, so testing from 0 to 100 is not a good criterion at all.

Plus, he forgets to mention that Samsung skips on a microSD card for A56 which was present on A55. Though in Samsung’s favor, they are offering 6 OS upgrades and I doubt any other OEM except Google matches it.

    My $350AU (~$200US) Motorola G84 has been near perfect for the price. Only the camera sucks a bit, and Facebook Messenger notifications are unreliable; but it shits all over the A20.A30 I had before. Of course, Motorola is a gamble itself though - for example with this phone, you can’t use the camera if you’re connected to 5G on some networks, and they won’t fix it.
