Reviews
Samsung Galaxy A56 | 8GB | 256GB | 5G | Awesome Graphite is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 561.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from New Samsung A56 5g phone I was very reluctant to get a new phone, but when my banking app told me that my phone needed updating due to operating system (Android 9) I done my research and opted for a brand new Samsung A56 5g. It took my a while to get used to it. The multiple cameras are excellent, battery life is also great, high quality display and super fast performance compared to my older J4+, great connectivity seamless between 5 and 4g. The only disadvantage is it not having a micro sd port for additional memory. Another great product by Samsung. And as a bonus of making my purchase, I had a free Samsung Galaxy watch 7. I love Samsung

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Poor performance I am very disappointed with my new phone! I have had more than a dozen Samsung phones and always found them easy to use and very good at performing the tasks required. I use my phone whilst out walking in the countryside listening to birdsong (using the Merlin bird app) my previous phone (A545g) was excellent for this task, however my new phone doesn't recognize anything. I have removed and reinstalled the app numerous times, I can only assume that the microphone is substandard compared to my previous phone, I now have to take my old phone with me because my new phone is not good enough. I think this could be my last Samsung phone, I don't know anyone else who has this problem every other phone on the market works perfectly with this app.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A56 Overall I am happy with my new A56 mobile, but it doesn't feel any better than my old Galaxy A52s 5g mobile. Good Points - 1. The screen is a good size and is very clear. 2. There is loads of onboard storage. 3. It's pretty fast. 4. Battery life is excellent. Bad Points - 1. The camera spec has dropped from 64mp to 50mp which is a bit disappointing. 2. It doesn't seem to connect to WiFi as good as my old mobile especially at home. There is an app called Merlin which I use to identify bird from their songs but it doesn't work on this mobile which is a disappointment.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible The worst phone I have had in ages. I am thinking of getting my old phone back. This Samsung A56 5G has so many issues, I don't know where to begin. Problems with the charging port from day one. Problems with the home key from day one. The screen protector doesn't fit properly, even though it was ordered specifically from ID Mobile as part of the contract and because of this, it has created pressure points, which further mess up the phone when those points are pressed. The battery takes forever to charge (even though it shows fast charging on the display). I bought a new charger plug and cable and it is still the same.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Currently less than impressed Currently less than impressed with my new phone. Only a month old and it has switched off several times, generally when trying to use apps. Then it decided to freeze for over half an hour meaning I needed to use someone else's phone to see how I could correct it as it wouldn't let me do anything other than use the side buttons, causing me to miss calls and messages that were urgent!! Trying to contact the company I bought it through as its not good enough considering the cost of the phone. The times it does work I'm enjoying it but the problems outweigh the good times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great phone Having owned an A52, A54 and A55 I am really pleased with the A56. It seems much faster and my battery seems to last longer even though I have read that there is not much difference between the A55 and the A56 I would have to disagree, the battery life is much better and the bigger screen is much better. I I had any complaints about the A series is answering it when a phone call comes through, it is not easy to swipe to answer and on numerous occasions the person who has phoned me has hung up. I really wish Samsung would make it easier. Otherwise I am really pleased with it. Pictures are really good as well

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not happy Not a lot to love, phone keeps freezing while I am on Instagram, X, tik tok, also volume goes down on its own, my phone provider won't change it for another phone, but will repair it in 5 to 7 days, no loan phone, so I'm supposed to be without a phone for that length of time, not happy is an understatement.
Date published: 2025-05-20
Rated 3 out of 5 by from It's ok I am disappointed with the A56, I am used to S series phones but due to cost issues I've tried this. I find it has slow processing speed in comparison with the S series and opening links seems to take significantly longer. I am still waiting for the promised free phone case and watch which is part of the purchase deal. This phone is extremely slippery to hold and as the camera lenses protrude from the back it is difficult to put down on a flat surface without it slowly slipping off. Sorry Samsung, I'm not impressed
