Does Samsung A56 still have a virtual proximity sensor, or did they switch to a physical one?

900K AnTuTu? That's impressive. Exynos has improved a lot since its early overheating issues. But some phones offer better performance, camera, or OS for less money.

Is the UFS 3.1 in Samsung Galaxy A56 5G confirmed, or is it the same as in Galaxy A54 5G?

Too bad about the missing SD card slot. Many people liked or needed that. For me, 128 GB storage is enough.

90dB sound is okay, but A55 5G has much better.
