The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G is a decent $500 phone, but that's not enough

I wanted to like Samsung's mid-ranger, but the Galaxy A56 5G has too many sacrifices to make it worth buying.

Minor gripe: I had find it better if the article elaborated if phones had a SD card slot or not. This phone ships with 128 GB base storage which is a problem if there is no SD card slot but not a big thingy if expandable options are present.

As for 3.5mm Jack, Samsung only has them in their cheapest lineup now I think.

They never have wireless charging, and the macro camera is pretty useful. Some good points, some obvious filler. And some untrue things too, right on Samsung’s site it shows 8GB ram and a 256GB storage option, though oddly the article is then correct that they don’t say whether it’s expandable.

There seems to be a 12GB option out there too but weirdly not from Samsung directly.
