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.

the A series as a whole has been nothing but a disappointment from my observations. The a50, 51 and 52 have all sucked, the a11 and a12 series were subpar at best and the a20/21 series might as well not existed.

after the third continuous series of disappointment I stopped following the series though so maybe it’s better.
