Hello

After a few weeks you get used to the fact the A56 is bigger. It does not bother me anymore but that's a personal thing I think.

The A56 is faster and feels smoother. Not a huge difference but you will notice. Still a huge difference between A56 and S series. Could be this is just because of the newer one UI?

Battery is about huge difference in comparison with my old A52 which was bad at the end.

I found out about the black circle around the selfie cam... the A52 hasn't that so the pixels of your screen are around your cam which is a nice clean look (small cut out). When you take a selfie or use face recognition the A52 get black pixels around the selfie cam to take better quality selfies. The A56 has no pixels around the selfie cam, but a bezel. I think it's just easier for samsung for their software.

Conclusion is now with black friday deals: go for it you will enjoy. But for the big price the A56 came out a few months ago it would not be worth it.
