Reviews
Samsung Galaxy A56 5G 256GB Smartphone - Awesome Graphite (One NZ/Open Network) with Prepay SIM Card is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 615.
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.

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

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Frustrated I have always had Samsung phones (20 years). I recently upgraded to my current one. Almost immediately l began having problems making and receiving calls. When i select a contact and press the call button a calling icon appears but no ring tone is heard. This goes on for several seconds before the call cuts off. Accepting in coming calls, i press answer but the ringtone continues before finally connecting or cutting out. My provider, O2 have been very helpful and replaced the phone like for like. Unfortunately this replacement is doing the same. I am returning to the store today for further assistance. I have lived at my current address nearly 50 years have had the same service provider from day one and have owned about 5 Samsung phones over this period. (18 years).

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Mostly good I am generally quite pleased with my Galaxy A56 5G(SM-A566BZKCEUB), it is easy to use and response is fast. The photo and video quality is good. I have been very disappointed with the fingerprint reader, the problem is that I can setup my fingerprint and within about 2 days the phone no longer recognises my fingerprint. I have followed all instructions that I can find to rectify the issue - update phone, remove and re-create fingerprint (3 times) etc. I have now abandoned using the fingerprint reader altogether

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great Phone but... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is absolutely fine and I would have given a score of 5, however the reason for dropping to 1 star is that my phone is unable to download and install software updates...

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very average A56 I bought this yo replace an old one. The battery is much better as expected. I am disappointed with the camera as it fails to replicate true colours which is important when selling clothes. Connectivity is OK but not great. I was unable to transfer any of my old photos using the switching app again a disappointment. Overall it is no better than my old A41.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very good phone at this price level [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good battery life, as you should expect from a new phone, and the camera is very good too. The rapid charger, which came with the additional offer pack, charges the phone in an extremely fast time and is a bonus. I would, however, have liked the bonus pack to have included a Samsung screen protector too. I found the phone easy enough to set up for the basics but I have had to rely heavily on Google and U-Tube to allow me to get to grips with many of the phone's other features. One small point, as there are other methods available, is that the waved palm hardly ever works to take a screenshot. So early days still but so far I am very pleased with this phone.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don't buy again - ever [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why do you have to try re-inventing Android? Nokia Android as re-developed and launched by HMD is superior to Samsung Android as it does not have al the rubbish running in the background. Perhaps if it was in the background it wouldn't be so bad

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Value for Money [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery life is excellent: easily lasts a full day (16-18 hours), even when using the camera, playing games and watching Netflix, etc. Display is outstanding and very responsive. The camera is slightly below par of other phones I was considering but isn't anything to turn your nose up at and certainly beats the older A series cameras. The AI feature to 'remaster' pictures is brilliant as well as 'erasing' unwanted objects from images. Overall a great upgrade over my previous device and well worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blown away Upgraded from my a52s 5G. I loved that phone and was nervous to part with it, but the a56 has blown me away! The A5* series officially feels premium! Feel like I've upgraded to a flagship. Excellent phone for the price.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Frustrating Most frustrating phone I've ever owned, I wish I had never bought it, paying extra for service for little in return. Every day brings another issue, now my WhatsApp contacts have disappeared.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A56 The battery will do 2days easy. Finger and face unlock is the best I've ever had. The screen is very good and responsive. The cameras are fantastic, far Better than any my camera.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Features I bought my Samsung A56 5G as an update to my previous phone a Samsung A52 5G that had come to an end of security updates. I have found I can get 2 days of use from the battery which I think is good as I only charge it to 80%. The camera and features are better than my old model. The display is just a little bigger and moving around apps is easier. The performance is also quicker thanks to the faster chipset and more ram.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Mr The Galaxy A56 5G brings flagship-level features—such as a vibrant 6.7” 120 Hz AMOLED display, solid build, long software support, and AI camera enhancements—to the mid-range segment. For a mid-tier device, it’s impressive, and it has Gorilla Glass Victus+ display and (4 nm) Exynos 1580 (Samsung processor) The overall performance is great, but full charging atheist after 70 percent takes a bit longer to complete

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It's ok Don't love the phone. Don't like the camera sticking out at the back, I didnt the phone before I got, asked advice for a replacment A53 as the speaker function had stopped working and was out of contract, having no SD feature. Connects ok. I used Shazam on my old A53 it doesn't work on this, uninstalled it, which disappointed in. The battery is reasonable however it heats up randomly quite a lot, sometimes only after 15 mins, same with my previous phone, however same issue with this so I'm taking it back to the EE shop when I get the chance.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from ADS OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so disappointed that there are way too many ads appearing on my A56, in spite of closing all the personalised ads there are far too many to enjoy my phone, I find this totally intrusive of my life & a total waste of my time/money having to pay for each app removal of ads. Keep seeing the ADS repeatedly. I just want a phone that works how I wish it to, but not have the ADS.
