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.

    A bit better maybe, but still the worst phones you can possibly buy, in my humble opinion.

    I had a Samsung A50 for some time. Worst phone I’ve ever see in my life. Terrible build quality, the thing came apart all by itself, and it’s my work phone that I really use at a minimum. And the worst is how slooooow this phone as always been.

    Last year I got it “upgraded” to a A35 5G, it’s a little faster, but the build quality still seems to be rubbish and the bloatware is through the roof !
