Reviews
Samsung Galaxy A56 | 8GB | 256GB | 5G | Awesome Olive is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 544.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great performance, features etc [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about it. Battery life is super, I love the Macro mode in the camera and easy connectivity. My favourite activity on my phone is to personalisey phone so enjoy changing the display. Performance is excellent. I have no regret purchasing this phone especially given the guaranteed updates for the next 4 / 5 years. Looking forward to Android 16! Always love a bigger screen phone but simply could not afford the Ultra phone. Content for now though.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Slippy phone Works fine - happy with performance. The actual phone is hard to hold as the edges are square making it bulkier. Worst of all the phone is super slippy, hard to grip and slides off any surface which is not dead level. Putting a cover on the phone to stop this happening makes it even bulkier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A56 is a big yes! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Incredible battery for all day watching meaning Netflix on the train will no longer require a power bank. Loving the new display quality, brightness and overall phone design. It has a really premium feel for such an affordable price!
Date published: 2025-03-28
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Microphone issue Several Apps that use the microphone, Merlin Bird App for example, do not work. Samsung have added some element of speech processing to the A56 which stops these Apps working. Which is very annoying. Apart from that the A56 is like any other quality Smart Phone. No other problems

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features, amazing camera. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing battery life compared to other phones. Battery life is very important being a uni student. Camera quality is really good and amazing screen display for gaming. Love how secure the device is due to the security upgrages.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving It So Far! I’m really impressed from my new Samsung Galaxy A56 5G. The screen is bright and looks amazing for watching videos or just scrolling through social media, feels nice to hold, and doesn’t feel cheap at all. Battery life is solid, I am charging it once in two-tree days. The cameras are surprisingly good too, photos come out clear and sharp, and even in low light, they look decent. Great phone for the price. If you’re looking for something reliable with good performance and 5G, definitely worth checking out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent value for money Overall good quality. Way better than expected and way better than previous A series.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great upgrade The camera is fantastic, still not used the features but the ones I have are great. The display is crystal clear. Battery life a lot better than my A71 it has replaced.
Date published: 2025-05-01
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Frustrating Phone I don't love this device. I had to reset it due to Password issues and now I can't log back into it as the Google account is stuck in a loop, even using a separate recovery device just brings me back to the set up page after using 2fa. There is no way to get to the settings unless you're signed into Google so this phone is now just a brick that I will have to take back to work to get recovered.
Date published: 2025-08-18
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Review Have to wait for the screen to lock before I can make phone calls plus have to search for my gmail as the app disappeared off the phone when the software was updated

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not to complicated Got this phone to replace an 8 year old S9. Has taken me a while to get used to all the new features, being a more mature user (old over retirement age). I still am discovering things that have changed.The connectivity, battery life and display are far better. I do not game or do social media, the performance is good for me. I didnt want something to complicated, this phone is perfect. Don't know how to use all the features so cannot give 5 stars, the features I use are good.
Date published: 2025-10-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value Camera is great, I have no complaints. It was an upgrade for me and has proved to be so much quicker and more efficient in performance.
Date published: 2025-06-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from A56 BADDIE [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device is a total baddie. The design language it brings to the segment is quite good. A56 is phone which got a lot of things packed in it with not so heavy pricing. The AI features the device got are incomparable in its segment. The performance of the phone is upto the notch. Camera quality it shares is very much efficient comparatively to the segment and higher range phones also. The display it uses is quite good, with a lot more clearity from previous devices. This upgrade was very much needed for this A series and should be considered as a well good update. Overall this device shares a good market segment and also captures alot of customers also. I would genuinely recommend this device to my friends and family. I also bought that for my father as well.
