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 is midrange?

    I got a S24 basic model ans and this feels like a rather midrange phone.

    My old phone, like 8 years older, was faster in charging, bigger screen, better camera, etc etc.

    This just feels like an Android copy of an iPhone with some tiny bullshit AI features that I can actually download as apps on my older phone most the time

    If I could’ve actually just replaced my screen with a proper new oled and replaced the battery, it would’ve been fine.
