I'd like to express my gratitude to @SocietyGirl and @LucyC for kindly providing me with an A56 5G phone for review.
Mine has come in Awesome Pink Colour, and I have bought a clear case for it, because I want to enjoy the colour. I have bought tempered glass screen protector, but I have not used it, and so far, there are no scratches on the display of the phone.
The A56 5G features a 6.7 inch FHD+ SuperAMOLED display, and I believe it lives up to it's expectations.
The screen is bright, a bit punchy compared to the Ultra phones S25U and S24U, especially used at night, but it speaks quality.
I have used it in broad daylight in the sun and the 1,200 nits allowed me to see my screen and I had no problems looking at it, I have been able to see the screen without any struggle.
I am enjoying to use the screen just as much I enjoy using a flagship phone, and I love the vivid colours.
The screen is coated with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, and although it did not suffer a fall, like I said before, there are no scratches in the phone, and this phone has ben some places with me. From experience from previous years when I have used phones with Corning Gorrila Glass Victus, they have been very resistant to damage, and they never had a cracked screen, but I personally recommend, if you plan to use it as your Base phone, to snap a case and a screen protector on it for safety.
Performance generally feels premium, the Exynos 1580 4nm chipset (credits GSMArena) is smooth and the battery lasts a long time being used for browsing, taking pictures, social media and listening to music. I have not installed alot of apps on it though, being a loaned phone, but there is no lag and the refresh rate is good.
This phone does not support SD Memory card or 3.5 mm jack, but I have been listening to music from Spotify and I use a USB C to 3.5 mm jack to use with my Panasonic headphones, for those more nostalgic of us,
the listening experience has been great so far.
The A56 5G features a 50 MP wide camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP macro camera and a single 12 MP selfie camera. Video 4 K@30 fps, 1080@30/60 fps, 10-bit HDR. (GSMArena)
The camera experience again feels top notch, given it's a midrange phone, I get the same satisfaction almost as from flagship phone, albeit less editing gimmicks and less zoom, it has almost thesame features as the more expensive siblings of this phone. Will attach a video after figure out how, but here are some pictures taken with the wide camera .5,1x, 2x, 4xand 10x and the close up of a flower.
The phone feels a premium build over all software and hardware.
